Dana White says Hendo's knee not healing well, might decide to have Machida vs Gustaffson instead; Hendo calls BS

Quote :

On Saturday night at UFC on Fox 5, UFC President Dana White hinted that former top contender Dan Henderson‘s knee wasn’t healing as fast as expected and he could potentially be out of his upcoming bout against Lyoto Machida currently scheduled for UFC 157 in February.

The subject was broached because White thought UFC on Fox 5 winner Alexander Gustafsson could potentially step in to replace him and face Machida.

Well, Dan Henderson obviously saw that statement and he’s not sure where the UFC President is getting his updates from, but his knee is right on schedule for the February fight card.

“Not sure where Dana White thinks he’s hearing my knee isn’t doing okay,” Henderson wrote on Twitter on Sunday. “It’s doing great. Slowly picking training up just like I do for every training camp.”

Henderson hasn’t fought since 2011 when he defeated Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in his return to the UFC after a stint in Strikeforce where he became light heavyweight champion.

What is Dana up to here?

hmm.... sounds suspect...

Right?

Kinda sounds like Dana just pulled this out of his ass because he really wants to make Machida/Gustaffson or something.

Then again, Hendo has kind of made it his mission lately to do his best to make Dana look like an asshole, so who knows? Maybe there was some small truth to it, but when it was Dana that made mention of it, maybe Hendo took the opportunity to make Dana look stupid.

I don't know, but something smells about this. Why would Dana just throw that out there like that? He had to know that Hendo would call BS on it.

Hendo also hid the fact that he was hurt from the UFC for 2 weeks before UFC 151 causing that whole debacle so who knows with him.

Heh... Henderson is quickly becoming TOTALLY irrelevant in the fight game. His chronic TRT use, arrogance, and pouting are overshadowing any "legacy" he might have had.

Very quickly Henderson will occupy the Frank Shamrock wing of the UFC Hall of Fame!

NO!!!!! i want to see the dragon put henderson to sleep.
