Does he go and fight Anderson Silva next and unify those belts??
Does anyone think Anderson Silva would actually beat Hendo? Not taking anything away from Silva but Hendo has been so dominate(I guess Silva has too)...
Now that would be a pretty sweet fight....

if he wins the light heavy weight title, dont you think he would kinda have to stay in the light heavy weight divison to keep the title.

He already has a belt in two weightclasses though, so I'm not sure they will limit him.
To answer the original question, I think Hendo has the perfect style to beat Silva.

It would be an excellent fight, and I'd probably pick Henderson to win. I'd be surprised, however, if the UFC let anyone hold two belts simultaneously.
We can assume Henderson's signed to a 4-fight contract (1 to fight Rampage, plus 3 more in case he wins the 205 belt). However, I don't expect him to defeat Rampage. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him drop back down to 185, where he would earn a title shot in 2 or 3 fights. At which point, Dana White could offer him a new 4-fight contract, and both of them would make out like bandits.

I like Hendo a lot and i think he has a good style of wrestling and if he needs to he'll knock you out.However, i think he may need to readjust to the octagon. He's not used to elbows and hes not used to such little space. It may be a good thing for him though as he can take down people without them really having anywhere to go. IMO thats why great wrestlers are so successful in the octagon. So i think Dan has a better shot beating Silva then he does Jackson but i think he has a good chance of beating Rampage so we'll see.
