“(Fighting Bisping) is definitely something that I would do”, said Henderson speaking with Nick Peralta on the MMA Discussion podcast.

Bisping, 29-7, claimed the middleweight crown in stunning fashion at UFC 199, where he recorded a first-round knockout victory over former champion Luke Rockhold. “Absolutely [I’d be interested] I think that’s probably a fight I definitely would do”, Henderson said during an appearance on Sirius XM Radio’s “Toe-2-Toe” with Brian Stann. “Bisping doesn’t want it, it was my title shot, he got the shot because of me and now he’s trying to fight the 13th ranked guy in the division (Dan Henderson) so good for him, fight anyone you want”.
Weidman, who defended his title three times, is reasonably miffed at the suggestion that Hendo would jump over him or a guy like Jacare, but he sees how it could happen. “So if you want to come and try it – hey buddy, lightning doesn’t strike twice so if you’re interested sign on the dotted line you old piece of sh*t”.
St-Pierre hasn’t fought since 2013, but the former UFC welterweight champion is constantly rumored to be working toward a return.

St-Pierre has not given any statement, as he is still silent about his UFC comeback.
Henderson handed Bisping the second loss of his MMA career at UFC 100 via a second-round knockout.
“The Count” had said that taking the fight with Rockhold on short notice would actually benefit rather than hinder his progress at UFC 199, but few believed that would be the case. I want to make sure if I go back, I’m at my best.
“You have to realize, you start doing these kind of things in the division, where does it send the division?” I was like ‘Really, wow.
“I don’t hear you now”.
“I know we’ve been going off on Twitter and everything but at the end of the day whoever the UFC gives me at Madison Square Garden that’s who I have to fight and I don’t know who that’s going to be, no one has told me a thing”.

Bisping revealed in the interview that there has been some talk regarding a bout with GSP, and he would be open to it: “I actually had some people reach out to me saying, ‘Georges St-Pierre is interested in fighting you, ‘ and I was like, ‘really?'”.
