“At the moment, I was a little upset (over Jones vs. Sonnen). But it’s all good, it’s passed. There’s always two sides to everything. Looking at it from an athlete’s perspective, Chael Sonnen might have cut across a lot of people and maybe cut the line to get a shot at the belt. But for the UFC, it might be a good thing for this fight to happen at this time. There’s always two sides.”

“This fight is expected to happen but there’s no date set. We don’t know yet where it’s going to be or when it’s going to be, but I’m very happy to be fighting Dan Henderson. It’s a good fight and it’s another challenge for me. If I want to fight for the belt again, I need to get through this fight first.”
