UFC president Dana White has confirmed that either Mike Bisping or Dan Henderson will ‘probably’ be the next challenger for Anderson Silva’s UFC middleweight title.
White revealed the news when asked about a match between Georges St. Pierre and Anderson Silva could take place later this year.
“There are a lot of guys up here who could potentially fight Anderson Silva,” he said.
“It’ll either be Bisping or Henderson probably. I’d like to see GSP defend his title a couple of times at 170 if he wins [against Alves] and who knows? Maybe next year.”
Reports have long suggested that the winner of the fight between Bisping and Henderson at UFC 100 could get a shot at the middleweight title.
