The final 3 candidates to replace Jon Jones at UFC 200 are Gegard Mousasi, Anderson Silva and Dan Henderson -- but there are problems with all 3, especially Henderson ... TMZ Sports has learned.
Our sources say Henderson is a front-runner to fight Michael Bisping for his middleweight title, and that bout is coming up soon -- so moving him to take on Daniel Cormier could screw a potential Bisping match.
Mousasi is already on UFC 200's undercard against Diego Santos. So, moving Gegard would create another hole for Saturday night.
As for Silva -- well, he's old.
We're told the Nevada Athletic Commission requires any fighter over 35 to undergo extensive medical testing and there might not be enough time to get it done for 41-year-old Silva. Plus, as we first reported ... he's also recovering from a recent surgery.
Stay tuned ...

It's Silva.
Hendo is going to face Bisping
Mousasi isn't a big name like Silva and has a habit of being boring.
 
Hendo?

No need for a rematch to that fight. No need whatsoever.

Mousasi and Silva are fine, but no Hendo please.
 
I hope it is Hendo. DC smashes him again, and Bisping can fucking give Jacare his title shot finally.
 
Silva or nothting. Absolutely no interest in the other 2. Hendo, really? No.
 
I hope it's not Hendo, he needs that MW title shot first.
 
Tapology just added DC vs Silva on the fight picks. They either have some inside info or they are seriously jumping the gun
 
They do realize the event is on Saturday, right? Might want to make it official pretty soon.

This is EliteXC Seth Petruzelli amateur hour.
 
In my ealier posts I said Mousasi... now I'm hearing Anderson at 206 pounds no title...
 
Mousasi is the only one who's not a joke of a fight.
 
Not much interest in any of those 3, especially Hendo.. dear God the last time he fought Cormier it was very hard to watch, Hendo got nearly beaten to death. and is very under sized for it. No thanks!
 
Not one of them is nearly as interesting as Bisping would be. Yeah yeah, Dana said no, but I still don't understand why.
 
Nah

we've seen the Hendo fight already, I'd rather it be Mousasi > Silva > Hendo

Silva would be cool but who knows if he has been training
Mousasi will have had a full camp
