Dan Henderson’s One Regret is Not Getting to Fight Jon Jones

– Dan Henderson recently spoke with mmafighting.com ahead of his UFC 204 title bout with Michael Bisping. During the interview, Henderson reflected on his career, and says that he regrets the Jon Jones fight never happening…

“There’s only one that really, Jon Jones, you know? I trained to fight him, got ready to fight him, got hurt and I didn’t get a chance to test myself against him, you know? That would have been a fun moment to see how I do against Jon Jones. He’s since then done even better. He’s screwed up a little, too, but he’s still arguably the best pound for pound guy out there.”

The two were set to meet at the UFC 151 event that was deleted from history when Henderson got hurt, and had to pull out of the event. Jon Jones was not receptive to replacement opponents so close to the fight, and the company ended up canceling the event.
