Former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion Dan Henderson returned to the UFC last November and engaged fellow Pride vet Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in what has been regarded as one of the greatest fights in mixed martial arts history.
The decision win over the Brazilian helped put Henderson at the tippy-top of the 205-pound class, where UFC champion Jon Jones currently resides.
“Bones” will be taking on former teammate and heated rival Rashad Evans this April, and the winner will likely meet Henderson in the near future.
Henderson isn’t exactly a spring chicken, so staying active might be his best option whilst the muddled light heavyweight division gets sorted out.
