Dan Henderson is not even 24 hours removed from his knockout victory over Shogun Rua last night at UFC Fight Night 38, and he is already asking for a new fight from the UFC brass. While vacationing today, Henderson caught word that the UFC 173 Middleweight title fight was postponed due to an injury to Middleweight champion, Chris Weidman.

Henderson took to Twitter to offer his services against Machida at UFC 173:

Hey @danawhite, let me have @lyotomachidafw, just like you let him have @jonnybones when I got hurt @ufc — Dan Henderson (@danhendo) March 25, 2014

The UFC seemingly has other plans, however, as they mentioned in a press release earlier today that the Middleweight title bout between Machida and Weidman will be moved to UFC 175:

The Ultimate Fighting Championship announced today that middleweight champion Chris Weidman has been forced to withdraw from his scheduled title defense against Lyoto Machida on May 24. Weidman suffered a knee injury that will require minor surgery and his bout with Machida has been rescheduled for Saturday, July 5. A new main event for UFC 173 on May 24 will be announced in the days to come.

UFC 175 will be on July 5th, meaning that Weidman’s original opponent, Vitor Belfort, may be able to fight for the title after all. Belfort was forced to withdraw from UFC 173 after the TRT ban, citing his need to acclimate to training without TRT.

It will be interesting to see if the UFC keeps the Weidman vs Machida bout for UFC 175, or leaves Machida on UFC 173 to fight Henderson in a rematch of their bout at UFC 157.
