Dan Henderson will face Quinton “Rampage” Jackson for Jackson’s newly won UFC 205-pound title at a future date, the UFC announced on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
UFC President Dana White revealed on Thursday that someone would be challenging the winner of Jackson-Liddell. Many speculated that PRIDE 2005 Grand Prix winner Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, who White confirmed as being UFC-bound, would be the mystery challenger.
Jackson knocked out Liddell with a right hook at 1 minute and 53 seconds to win the UFC light heavyweight belt, a title held by Liddell since April 2005.
The bout will mark the first time a UFC champion will fight a PRIDE champion in what could be a unification bout.
Henderson is the only fighter to hold major titles in two different weight classes at the same time. Henderson added the PRIDE 205-pound title alongside his PRIDE 183-pound title last February when he knocked out Wanderlei Silva at PRIDE 33.

The Octagon says he can't... To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. , I unno I like Shogun and all, I just think the Octagon is going to fudge up his game plans.
Quote:
With its greatest week ever for media coverage, including a huge push from ESPN across all its platforms, Zuffa LLC. already had Jackson’s opponent named in Dan Henderson, a two-time Olympic wrestler who currently holds a pair of belts in the PRIDE Fighting Championships.
With the entrance of Henderson, UFC president White confirmed Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta’s purchase of their rival had finally come to a close.
“The deal is done,” said White. “We acquired the company yesterday or the day before.”
Henderson’s move from PRIDE’s ring to the UFC’s Octagon will be a momentous one, a first attempt at unifying the two organization’s rankings into one.
“Right now Dan deserves to fight,” explained White. “He’s coming in as the PRIDE champion with his belt and Quinton has his belt and whoever wins gets both belts.”
With the loss, Liddell will likely face Wanderlei Silva, the former PRIDE champion Henderson knocked out last February to earn his second title.
“Yup,” said White. “That’s probably what we’ll do. Chuck versus Wanderlei.”
White had no specific dates ready for either of these marquee match-ups.
Jackson’s icebreaking KO mirrored much of the night’s succession of quick, conclusive bouts, six of which didn’t leave the first round.
Sounds like you get your wish Dan

Re: Henderson to Face Rampage *May Contain Spoilers*
an educated guess would say he has a match with The Spider after the Rampage match up. I hope so at least, I'm digging the PRIDE vs UFC fights. Hopefully they can get Sherk Vs Gomi and Fedor Vs Couture some time down the line to.
