Dan Henderson to Fight Rampage Jackson

Following Quinton "Rampage" Jackson's stunning defeat of Chuck Liddell Saturday night in Las Vegas, UFC organizers have announced that Dan Henderson will take on Rampage Jackson on a date to be determined.

Henderson is no stranger to the Octagon, as the 36-year-old defeated Allan Goes (Pictures) and Carlos Newton (Pictures) to claim the UFC 17 middleweight tournament crown 9 years ago in Mobile, Alabama.

The 36-year old American-born mixed martial artist fighter is also the current welterweight and middleweight champion of the PRIDE Fighting Championship.

Henderson's MMA record stands at 22-5-0.

His most recent fight was at PRIDE 33 in Las Vegas on February 24, 2007, where Henderson scored an upset by defeating Wanderlei Silva via KO to become the new Middleweight Champion.

Henderson is only the second fighter in MMA history to win two world titles in two different weight classes in a major organization (along with former Team Quest stablemate Randy Couture) and is the first fighter to ever hold them simultaneously.

UFC bettors and fans alike anxiously await the announced date of this new fight followed by odds that will be posted on the
