'Hendo' wanted Anderson Silva or Vitor Belfort after last fight: Coach

Most men, when they are pushing 45, eat a little more, workout a little less, and compensate by opening their belt two extra notches.

Not Dan Henderson.

No country for old men? The veteran mixed martial arts (MMA) legend, the middleweight winner of UFC 17 way back in 1998 when fighters competed multiple times in one night, isn't riding out the end of his contract with easy wins.

According to Team Quest coach Ricardo Feliciano (via our friends at MMAFighting.com), immediately following his first round knockout of Tim Boetsch in New Orleans, Henderson told his trainers and teammates he wanted a big fight next against Anderson Silva or Vitor Belfort.
