UFC light heavyweight Dan Henderson is focused on his June 15 main event bout with former light heavyweight titleholder Rashad Evans at UFC 161, but he still wants the fight that didn’t get to happen with champion Jon Jones . Henderson and Jones were scheduled to meet in the UFC 151 main event on Sept. 1, 2012, but a knee injury forced Henderson out of the fight and eventually led to the cancellation of the event. Jones instead faced Vitor Belfort at UFC 152 and Henderson’s title shot dematerialized. The 42-year-old returned at UFC 157, losing to Lyoto Machida by split decision in an uneventful fight. The loss removed Henderson from title contention, but the thought of facing Jones remains. “Obviously that’s something that was supposed to happen last year and didn’t.
