Dan Henderson Says All Anderson Silva's Injuries Will Heal if Offered Bisping

At 41 years old, the UFC's Dan Henderson has had a wild ride in mixed martial arts. While it appeared that the period of his career in 2007 when he won the PRIDE middleweight title to compliment the welterweight belt he already held would be the highlight of his career, he now rides a four fight win streak that may top that run. During that run he won a title eliminator in Strikeforce, beat Rafael Cavalcante to win the belt, moved up to heavyweight to stop MMA legend Fedor Emelianenko on strikes in the first round and then made a trip back to light heavyweight in the UFC where he won a narrow decision over Mauricio Rua in arguably the best fight in the sport's history.

Dan is now looking for a title shot at either 205 or 185 pounds. Middleweight would mean a rematch with Anderson Silva, something that Henderson seems very interested in.

With Michael Bisping winning at The Ultimate Fighter Finale 14, some feel that the UFC would love to give Bisping a title shot and that may mean closing the door on Henderson's chance.

So when a fan asked Dan what he thought about a potential Silva vs. Bisping fight, here's what he had to say:

@danhendo
Dan Henderson@Nik_junior All the "injuries" that keep Anderson from a rematch w/ me or Chael will heal real fast if they offer Bisping to him.

that is how you call a fighter out. Direct and to the point.

Yeah I liked it. I also agree that Anderson is ducking them.

I hope Dana does the right thing and puts Silva in there with Dan again.

I'd rather see Anderson-Sonnen.

Let me get this right, Silva is ducking two fighters he's already fought and submitted.... haters gonna hate.

Silva will fight Sonnen again once he's recovered from his injury. Dan isn't even a Middleweight anymore and was beaten DECISIVELY by Silva.

Sonnen beat him up for 5 rounds and then did 1 silly mistake. Yes Anderson is scared of him.
