Dan Henderson wants to return to the UFC middleweight division next year. When he does, he’s angling for a matchup with top contender Ronaldo Souza . Henderson (30-12 MMA, 7-6 UFC) has toyed with the idea of moving back to middleweight after spending his past nine bouts in the light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions. There’s been no real incentive to make the move, but when the coach of “Jacare” (21-3 MMA, 4-0 UFC), one of the division’s top contenders, voiced interest in the matchup, Henderson heard all he needed. While Souza’s coach proposed a 205-pound fight, Henderson clearly sees a bigger upside in taking out a top middleweight contender in his weight class. For that opportunity, he’d gladly drop a few extra pounds
