Dana White confirms title shot likely on the line in Dan Henderson vs. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua bout at UFC 139

There have been a lot of instances in the UFC of not having a clear cut challenger for a division's title. However, after confirming a number one contender's fight for this December in the heavyweight division between Brock Lesnar and Alistair Overeem, UFC President Dana White on Wednesday also confirmed what many suspected about a fight that was made just this week. White revealed that the winner of the UFC 139 main event between Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and Dan Henderson will likely receive the next title shot after Rashad Evans.

If no injuries mess up the plan, the Jon Jones-"Rampage" Jackson winner could face Evans by January, with the winner of that fight defending against "Shogun"/Henderson by May.
