During the post-fight show for UFC 200, UFC President Dana White announced Michael Bisping’s first title defense, a rematch with the legendary Dan Henderson:
Though Henderson’s name was on a short list of competitors to fight Cormier when Jon Jones was removed from the card on Wednesday, UFC president Dana White said he had other plans for the 45-year old. It turns out he’ll be facing Michael Bisping, his arch nemesis from UFC 100.
Fitting that the announcement came during UFC 200 on Saturday night.
“We’re going to do Dan Henderson versus Michael Bisping,” White said during Fox Sports 1’s post-fight show. “It’s a fight that the champ wants. It’s a fight that the fans want. And hopefully in Manchester. We’re thinking about doing it in Manchester, England. But that’s not signed yet.”
