Los Angeles, CA--October 18, 2009--
Dan Henderson
, 185 and 205 contender, was in line for a new fight contract with the UFC, but both sides were unable to come to a happy median. Henderson, apparently wants more money than the UFC is willing to cough up.

Henderson thinks he deserves more than the amount the UFC offered during the negotiations, which recently broke down, forcing Henderson to look elsewhere for his keep. Dana White claims no feelings were damaged during the stalemate.

HX: Henderson barely beat Rich Franklin and Vitor Belfort knocked out Franklin. Reason for Henderson wanting more money is he wanted another shot at Anderson Silva's title. White has chosen to give Belfort the opportunity to fight for Silva's belt, instead. Silva's group do not want another fight with Henderson, claiming he does not deserve one at this time, which is understandable.

If Henderson ends up on Scott Coker's payroll, this could bring more fan base to Strikeforce, and with this in mind, it would behoove Coker to sign Henderson as soon as possible. Coker hasn't commented on this recent development as of yet.

After Belfort and Silva meet up in the Octagon, the winner might be fighting Nate Marquardt next. Although Marquardt lost to Silva as well, his chances of success should be much better than Henderson's. The idea was for Henderson to fight Marquardt, then the victor fight for the Belt, but this never panned out, either. Possible match up between Belfort and Silva should be in the coming year.
