Dan Henderson Set to Rematch UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva
UFC President Dana White announced during a conference call on July 31 that Dan Henderson will be next in line for a middleweight title match against Anderson Silva.
Henderson was taken out of his UFC 103 match against Rich Franklin due to complaints from fans. Vitor Belfort will instead fill in for Henderson.
White did not specify a date for the rematch between Silva and Henderson.
The two fighters previously battled in March 2008 at UFC 82, where Silva won via submission in the second round.
Henderson has since been on a three-fight win streak, including a split-decision win over Rich Franklin at UFC 93 and an impressive KO win against Michael Bisping at UFC 100.
His opponent Silva, who is on a nine-fight win streak, is currently scheduled to take on Forrest Griffin at UFC 101.
