UFC Quick Quote: Dan Henderson wants to fight Jon Jones now ... not in two years

Stay connected for news and updates

"I’d rather fight (Jones) now than in two years ... He’s just been improving so much, and he’ll be a lot tougher to beat in two years and I’m getting older ... I was surprised by the way Shogun came to the (UFC 128) fight. It seemed like he was very unsure, not prepared, and that’s not Shogun anybody wants to see. It’s unfortunate, but it happens when you’re not in shape. When you’re not in shape, it doesn’t matter what your skills are."

Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion Dan Henderson tells Tatame.com his biological clock is ticking and the window of opportunity for defeating UFC 205-pound kingpin Jon Jones is slowly closing -- if it hasn't slammed shut already. "Hendo" may find himself back inside the Octagon after Zuffa's acquisition of Strikeforce, but is it too late for him to be considered a credible threat to "Bones?" Or is Dan "Dangerous" as long as he can still sling that right hand? Anyone have a prediction for this fantasy fight?
