Any news on him? Who his next opponent might be? How many fights he's got left in his contract? Hate to remind people about it, but ever since jumping from Pride to the UFC, he's done nothing but lose. It's only two fights, against champions, in two different weight classes - So I cut him a big break (as everyone should), but still: what's next?

Didn't perform well against Anderson, wasn't aggressive enough against Rampage. I think the UFC was really banking on him beating Anderson, but that fell through. So, who's next? Who should be next?

I think they'll throw Henderson a warm-up match at 205.

I doubt any Anderson / Henderson rematches would happen at 205, but that'd be pretty awesome. There's really no reason for them to fight again at the higher weight, but who wouldn't want to see that?

....the fight that makes the most sense,and the fans want to see is Franklin vs. Hendo....this fight would have been a perfect main event for the TUF finale or the july 19th UFN.

i really wanted Henderson to stay at LHW. he's a smaller LHW but got the job done.

i actually thought Henderson def. Rampage in that fight. had to watch the fight couple of times but it was very very very close.

yeah, going by ufc rules i saw henderson winning 3 rounds, though very very narrowly..

They have touched on the idea on an wandi vs henderson rematch.. The match fell through as a possible for the UFCS free show coming up on July, 17 to compete with the new Affliction promotion.

If you do not know or remember.. Henderson knocked wandi out cold in pride about a year ago!

No shame in losing to Anderson and Rampage. Nobody other than Franklin in MW or a rematch with Anderson that I really care to see Henderson fight. With Franklin having just fought in April, it'd be feasible to make a Franklin/Hendo matchup for maybe Sept. (co-main event on Liddell/Evans card)

The UFC will probably ask him to stay at 185. They have enough guys at 205 and not enough at 185. I'd like to see him fight Franklin too but I would think the way they have been handling their marketable guys with kiddie gloves, he'll be given a warmup match first.

I'm not so sure that he won Rampage fight but it was very strong performance by Hendo ( and I was pulling for him ).

In any case I agree that UFC will give him some warm up fight against Tier 2 fighter at 185 before putting him in contender fight.

I don't know what is the schedule that Joe Silva has planned but I would like to see Hendo vs. Bisping and after that Hendo vs. Franklin for title shot.

Good call man. Otherwise I guess they could "feed" Hendo whoever hangs on to their job between Tanner and Grove as a tune up.
