On the UFC’s most historic card, it was befitting to have living legend and UFC 17 middleweight tournament winner Dan Henderson grace the card.

A few weeks removed from the Season 9 finale of The Ultimate Fighter, dubbed “Team U.S.A vs. Team U.K.,” where both lightweight and welterweight finalists had been of the British persuasion, it only added more fuel to the fire when coaches Dan Henderson and Michael Bisping eventually squared off at UFC 100 this past Saturday.

After all the trash talk and hype leading into the bout, though Team U.K were decisive in their wins on the latest season of TUF, it was U.S.A.’s Dan Henderson who had the last word.

Henderson dictated the pace of the fight early on, establishing Octagon control, stalking Bisping and launching right hands. Bisping, however, survived long enough to reach the second round. Though the U.K. swept team U.S.A in the finales, it was Hendo’s infamous right hand that put “The Count” down and out.

Though it was clear Bisping was out after the initial shot, Henderson’s reaction got the better of him and he landed another thunderous looping right hand to his downed foe, cementing the victory and getting a little bit of payback.

“It was just the reaction of mine to keep going till I was stopped. It did feel good though.”

Though Bisping's gameplan appeared evident early on, to use his quickness and footwork en route to a decision victory, he made the unconscious mistake of circling towards the “dooms day weapon” that is the Californian's right hand.

“It was apparent that he always liked to circle off to his left, which is my right hand, but I was supposed to be setting it up better with my jab and my left hook,” explained Henderson.

“I’m not too sure exactly what I did right before I landed that right, but I knew he likes to circle off after an attack to try and get away towards my power hand, which was not a smart thing to do against me.”

With three-straight wins in the UFC, having stopped Bisping, a feat that had never been accomplished before, it’s hard to argue with the facts. The Team Quest co-founder may have very well jumped in line, throwing his name in the hat for a rematch against UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva.

It’s a bout that Henderson is content with to redeem himself after his performance and feels his accomplishments since losing to Silva in their first meeting have earned him that right.

“Ultimately its up to him (Dana White), but I feel in my mind that I came back and fought some fights and deserve that, but it's up to him to make that decision.”

Prior to the bout, at the pre-fight press conference, White had indicated that the bout would basically determine Silva's next opponent at middleweight, but it has yet to be cemented.

For any reason if the rematch should not incur in the near future for Henderson, he knows he has some options.

Having competed in the UFC’s middleweight division in three of his last four fights, he knows full well of the potential of other intriguing matchups in the light heavyweight division, where he has also seen success in the past, beating notables Wanderlei Silva and Rich Franklin.

“It’s a fight that I want and I feel like... I haven’t asked for it yet, I’d let it be known that I would like that rematch, but I have never asked Dana or anybody to give me that. It's just a matter of time, I knew that I had to win some fights and beat some good guys first and I feel like I’ve done that now.

“If it doesn’t happen, I kind of like fighting at 205 too, so there’s lots of match-ups for me.”
