Dan Henderson Has Rejected UFC Contract Extension
By Jason Perkins | October 15, 2007
Famed PRIDE fighter turned UFC star Dan Henderson (22-6) recently rebuffed UFC overtures regarding a contract extension. Henderson was apparently dissatisfied with an extension offered by Dana White before his light heavyweight title fight with Quinton Jackson, and chose instead to continue fighting under his "Pride" contract.
That contract, which was inherided by the UFC after it's purchase of Pride, has one fight remaining according to Brawl Sports. Henderson has stated that he would like that fight to be a rematch with Jackson, as he feels that he should have won the decision.
A rematch at this point seems unlikely however, as the UFC has pushed Henderson to drop down to middleweight where he would be expected to add some spice to what many consider to be the UFC's weakest division.
*****Hopefully HENDO doesn't jump ship after his next fight*****
