Dan Henderson was coming into UFC 173 with the expectation of earning a title shot with a win over Daniel Cormier. However, according to Dana White, that is not a guarantee:
“Obviously if Hendo pulls off this upset, it’s huge, huge,” White told reporters at the MGM Grand. “He pulls off the upset against Shogun [Rua], he pulls off a huge upset against Cormier, we’ll see. … Its just stupid to talk about now because [Jones] is fighting Gustafsson, and that fight’s not happening until fall, and we still gotta get through that fight, and then we see where he’s at. Who’s to say Cormier and Henderson, whoever wins this fight, doesn’t want to take a fight between now and then? Or if they get hurt, anything can happen.”
