Dan Henderson is the thirteenth ranked middleweight in the UFC and has only won two of his last five fights. And his next fight will be for the middleweight title against Michael Bisping at UFC 204 in the United Kingdom.

Sometimes it’s not always the most deserving man who gets to the fight for the title, sometimes it is the man who makes the most intriguing or marketable fight. And Dan Henderson is the man who gave Michael Bisping the worst loss of his career, a brutal knockout at UFC 100.

Now, Bisping will have his rematch and for former champion, Chris Weidman, it’s not a fight Henderson is deserving of:

“I think it’s kind of stupid, but I also don’t like complaining about something that’s already done,” Weidman said Monday on The MMA Hour. “It is what it is, and because it’s a done deal, you focus on the facts, and it’s a cool thing for Dan Henderson. He’s 46 years old and he gets the chance to retire with winning the belt. So you’ve got to be happy for him. I can’t complain too much.

“I was complaining when it mattered, because I just didn’t think he deserved the shot at all, and to set the precedent for the future of the sport, that is not good. It kind of takes away from working your way to fight for the title. I can go through his stats and his losses he’s had recently, and I just don’t think he deserves it. I don’t think he could argue that he deserves it, but he’s getting it, and so all the best to him.”
