http://www.yardbarker.com/mma/players/dan_henderson/58630 Recent articles about Dan Henderson en-us With the UFC's next visit to Western Canada under a month away, the promotion is taking the necessary steps to avoid another Canadian disaster, a la UFC 149 in Calgary. Following the recent injury to interim bantamweight champion Renan Barao, the powers that be behind the curtains at Zuffa seem to feel that this event needed a little beef. And by beef I mean Roy Nelson. It was teased on the Fuel TV weekly 'UFC Tonight' that Nelson would be fighting on the pay-per-view portion of UFC 161 in Winnipeg against a yet to be named opponent. It was later confirmed by MMA Junkie that the opponent would be none other than Strong Style Fight Team's Stipe Miocic. Miocic was originally scheduled to welcome Aussie heavyweight favorite Soa 'The Hulk' Palelei back into the Octagon after a five-year plus absence, but now Palelei is left without a fight as it stands today. Miocic will be upgraded from the FX card to the PPV portion of the June 15th event when he returns to t...

On Tuesday officials made it clear that he would be unable to compete in Winnipeg on June 15. With under a month to find a replacement match-up, the UFC promoted the co-main event between Rashad Evans and Dan Henderson up to main event status. Evans (17-3-1) is riding the worst streak of his career with two straight losses. After winning four in a row, Evans lost to Jon Jones in a UFC light heavyweight title match at UFC 145 and most recently to Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at UFC 156 in February. The Blackzilian fight later announced that in the first round of his match-up with Lil’ Nog he had broken his hand. Henderson (29-9) is coming off a split-decision loss to Lyoto Machida at UFC 157 in February. Prior to that loss, Hendo was riding a four-fight winning streak with key victories over Mauricio “Shogun” ...

The light heavyweight scrap between Dan Henderson (pictured) and Rashad Evans, which initially had third-to-top billing in the June 15 lineup, now headlines the pay-per-view broadcast. The promotion didn’t report whether Wineland would remain in the event or shelved for another day. In addition, it is unknown which preliminary bout will get bumped to the main card. MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Canada hosts the festivities.

UFC president Dana White said Monday that the bout would depend upon Henderson receiving medical clearance on his right hand. The 42-year-old was issued a six-month suspension for his haymaker following last month’s loss to Lyoto Machida. It appears Hendo obtained the doctor’s note he needed. Henderson had rattled off five straight wins prior to dropping a split decision defeat to “The Dragon.” Machida now advances to a 205-pound title tilt. Evans, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back from back-to-back defeats. “Suga” has dropped consecutive decisions to reigning light heavyweight king Jon Jones and Nogueira, respectively. The former champion had won four consecutive contests before embarking on his current skid.

Following his warm wishes, he poked fun at the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones. “Wishin everyone a Happy New year!! Be safe! No drinking and driving and hitting telephone poles” Hendo was referring to when the champ wrapped his Bentley last summer around a telephone pole in New York. Jones pleaded guilty to Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) following the incident. Henderson and Jones were expected to square off at UFC 151, unfortunately Hendo pulled out due to injury which forced the UFC to cancel the entire card. _________________________________________________________________________________ Follow @MMASuckaJer on Twitter and keep up with the latest from MMASucka.com on Twitter and Facebook Tue, 01 Jan 2013 15:25:29 -0500 http://network.yardbarker.com/mma/article_external/dan_henderson_makes_fun_of_jon_jones_while_wishing_fans_a_happy_new_year/12554266 http://network.yardbarker.com/mma/article_external/dan_henderson_makes_fun_of_jon_jones_while_wishing_fans_a_happy_new_year/12554266 Dan Henderson makes fun of Jon Jones while wishing fans a Happy New Year http://www.yardbarker.com/mma/articles/dan_henderson_makes_fun_of_jon_jones_while_wishing_fans_a_happy_new_year/12554266 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/0/c/0c406dcad200e60fc1d2575c4c3314588fafbb50/mini/cbs-strikeforce-mma.jpg I live in fight shorts T UFC light heavyweight Dan Henderson and his lady are enjoying their trip to ****** (insert joke here) Thailand, which looks like paradise compared to Bangkok which was portrayed as a hell on earth in the Hangover II.

The Rio event has moved venues to the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas leaving an opening for a headline bout at UFC 149 in Calgary at the Scotiabank Saddledome on July 21..Previously, it was thought Jose Aldo would defend his title on the Canadian card, but he may now be switched to the UFC 147 card, which will be held at a smaller arena in Brazil. So, that now could lead us to Jones versus Henderson in Calgary.Pending the champ’s recovery and whether or not he will be Thu, 26 Apr 2012 23:32:21 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/mma/article_external/dan_henderson_can_he_stop_jon_jones/10662356 http://network.yardbarker.com/mma/article_external/dan_henderson_can_he_stop_jon_jones/10662356 Dan Henderson: Can He Stop Jon Jones? http://www.yardbarker.com/mma/articles/dan_henderson_can_he_stop_jon_jones/10662356 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png “I’ve got three more fights on my deal, and I’ll probably sign one more deal after that.

Henderson’s harshest criticism came during the card’s co-main event between prior rival Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Ryan Bader. “Good round for Bader. Rampage has never been the smartest fighter,” Henderson tweeted following the opening stanza. “Might be just me but Rampage’s stomach is hanging out past his dicky do. Not really [able] to get aggressive.” Bader ultimately left Japan with a landslide unanimous decision victory over the former 205-pound champ. It was his most significant win to date, which came at the expense of one of the worst showings in Rampage’s career. “Bader fought great. Nice job,” Henderson added. “Quinton looks like he just showed up to get paid.” Never one to be outdone, Rampage came firing back and reminded Hendo of what hap Tue, 28 Feb 2012 12:35:27 -0500 http://network.yardbarker.com/mma/article_external/dan_henderson_has_harsh_words_of_quinton_rampage_jackson/10162390 http://network.yardbarker.com/mma/article_external/dan_henderson_has_harsh_words_of_quinton_rampage_jackson/10162390 Dan Henderson Has Harsh Words of Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson http://www.yardbarker.com/mma/articles/dan_henderson_has_harsh_words_of_quinton_rampage_jackson/10162390 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png
