UFC Undisputed 3 might just be the best fighting game ever made. It has updated graphics, a new submission system, a PRIDE mode that will make your face hurt with every soccer kick delivered and a roster of over 100 UFC fighters across seven weight classes.

Even with their impressive roster of fighters who were able to make the cut (no offense, Anthony Johnson), there are several UFC notables that aren’t included in the game. Let’s take a look at stars missing from the original roster, the downloadable content that is already available and future packs that are coming out.

Dan Henderson continues to be the odd man out in the light heavyweight division.

UFC president Dana White recently stated that the 41-year-old is willing to wait for the winner of Jon Jones and Rashad Evans fight on April 21, so, barring any injury, that will likely set up a return to the Octagon for Henderson by the summertime.

But Henderson has refused to accept a bout in order to remain active, despite the fact he is coming to the end of his career.

White said he was offered a matchup with Lyoto Machida to keep the former PRIDE FC star interested before a title shot in the near future, but according to the UFC boss, Henderson turned it down.

“He doesn’t want to fight Machida,” White told MMAFighting.com following UFC on FUEL. 

However, Henderson addressed the rumors on Twitter and said he was not offered to fight the Brazilian. 

“Was never offered machida. And even though he has lost 3 out of his last 4, I’m sure it would be entertaining,” Henderson wrote.

Machida is coming off a loss to Jon Jones at UFC 141 last December. Despite the loss, Machida is still regarded as one of the top contenders in the light heavyweight division and he has also been interested in facing Henderson in the future.

The idea of matching up the two competitors would draw a lot of interest from fans and would keep either fighter relevant in the title picture.
