- UFC 145 Results: Dana White Confirms Jon Jones vs. Dan Henderson Is Next
By Andrew Saunders (Featured Columnist) on April 22, 2012
At the post-fight press conference in Atlanta, GA, after Jon Jones' dominant decision victory over Rashad Evans at UFC 145, UFC president Dana White confirmed our suspicions that Dan Henderson will be the next man to challenge champion Jones for the UFC light heavyweight championship.
No timeline for the contest was given, but we should expect it to be sometime between July and September.
Dan Henderson is current riding a four-fight win streak that includes a knockout over legendary heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko, and a decision win over Mauricio "Shogun" Rua that Dana White has called one of the top three fights in MMA history.
Henderson was a dual-division champion in PRIDE and the most recent Strikeforce light heavyweight champ.
The 24-year-old Jones, meanwhile, defeated Shogun Rua at UFC 128 to win the belt last March, and has now successfully defended his championship three times against Quinton Jackson, Lyoto Machida and Rashad Evans.
If Jones can get past Henderson, he will have cleaned out the stacked light heavyweight division, minus rising contender Alexander Gustafasson (though conversations regarding Gustafsson being thrust into the title picture seem premature at the moment). IMO Dan Henderson is up there in age and is much slower. This fight is gonna end in the 2nd or 3rd round where Jones has Dan gassed and is just gonna get him to the ground and choke him out like he did to Rampage Jackson. | |

| Heh Rashad hasn't even finished swelling up and we are moving past him.....
Jones will finish Henderson hard. Henderson has nothing but the looping over hand "hail mary" right.
I suspect he will actually shit his pants when Jones knocks him the fuck out. | |

| We will get to watch Hendu get picked to pieces as he can do nothing except throw the big left hand over and over from his hip.
I'd much rather them set up the Silva/Jones super fight as I don't think Silva has that many more fights left in him.

| Jones will probably dominate all day ,but at the same time here's a good Grecor Roman guy with punching power so we'll see. | |

While I do think Jones will beat Hendo, I think it would be highly unlikely if he won via KO.... submission on the other hand is a different story. | |

| Another past champion for Jones to go through....let me rephrase that...no offense intended to Hendo because I like the dude, but another one dimensional champion for Jones to go through. | |
