Dan henderson signs with Strikeforce

**The HOFF** · 12-07-09, 05:54 PM

Although I wanted to see him back in the UFC, I'm just happy he is back and will be fighting again.

**shady610** · 12-07-09, 09:03 PM

meh., not a big deal for me. I like to watch him fight, but i never really look forward to any of his upcoming bouts.

Can we get Fedor vs. Henderson and a billy club?

**Immortality** · 12-07-09, 09:15 PM

I like Henderson but he will not be a big draw for Strikeforce.

Have to disagree. MMA casuals don't even know who Mousasi is. Among the hardcore fans it validates what we already know - Hendo is one of the best. But he is far from a draw and beating Mousasi does nothing for that.

edit, misread

I agree

just trying to get that on record as many times as I can

I have no real reason to hate on Mousasi but all the fan boys get to me after a while, not nearly as good as most try and make him out to be

He will maul shields worse than he did Bisping.....

No way, Shields will beat down Hendo.

hugh, how?

I would never place another mma wager again if that happened

fanboy?

**Eccocide** · 12-07-09, 10:34 PM

If Jake Shields beats Dan Henderson I will never post on SBR again....not that anyone would care haha

Oh and Ill I'm right there with you. PPL want this guy ranked top 5 P4P and he shouldn't even be ranked top 10 at LHW with the competition he's faced so far. He very may well get there, but let's so down the hype train please!

Lol, I misread this the first time. I must be blind,. I thought it said Dan Severn

**brooks85** · 12-08-09, 01:05 AM

im disappointed dana didnt pay dan. He might not be the biggest draw but all of his fights are great to watch imo. This guy is 39 and still fights like he is 30. He is an elite fighter and should be fighting the best, as he has proved many times before.

Best possible outcome for the 4fight deal would be, dan fights and destroys jake on his 3rd fight and somehow they get dan/mousasi match going. Old vs the new and mousasi has never fought anyone like dan. But, i doubt strikeforce would risk that. No question strikeforce had to pick dan up but he is going to clear out MW and be back in ufc in a year, i hope.

**brooks85** · 12-08-09, 01:13 AM

UFC MW's:
Anderson Silva
Nate Marquardt

I'll take Fedor by himself

**Eccocide** · 12-08-09, 06:56 AM

Strikeforce's MWs are all mid-tier other than Dan, Mousasi and Jacare. I'll take any of the UFC guys u listed over the rest of the list lol (except maybe Bisping!!).

**brooks85** · 12-08-09, 10:38 AM

they are going to take all 16 months for dans fight deal. Be awhile before dan enters the cage apparently.

Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker told FanHouse on Monday that he expects Henderson to make his debut for the organization in "March, April, or May."

also, dan will be on junkie radio today at 9amPT

**Eccocide** · 12-08-09, 12:11 PM

M-1 is so retarded. Mousasi did an interview with mma fanhouse and he said he doesn't know when his next fight will be cuz his contract says he can only fight on strikeforce cards with fedor hahaha. Who comes up with these demands? So if fedor is out till June no mousasi either!

**Boddhissatva** · 12-08-09, 01:41 PM

Hopefully Henderson ends the Jake Sheilds hype train.

And maybe a superfight with Fedor...there are several potential marquee match ups to look out for in Strikeforce with Hendo.
