There was an interview with dan henderson couple of days ago. He said he wanted more money because his career is coming to an end and he wanted to get paid. I doubt ufc will pay him what he wants so i could see him going to strikeforce.
Here is the latest, looks like he is on his way to Strikeforce. http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news;_y...4?slug=ki-henderson110509&prov=yhoo&type=lgns
yup i would love to see that fight. I hope cbs would show more free fights especially a henderson vs mousasi showdown.
Thats the kind of show they would put on CBS. The Strikeforce card next month with Jacare-Lindland and Thomson-Melendez II is good but not good enough to bring to a national audience and expect big success. Henderson with his time in the UFC mainly the TUF season and the KO over Bisping has got more casual fans loving this guy when before they werent sure about him (hardcore fans know all about him) Henderson is a huge star and could draw big on CBS and gives credibilty cause then you could be watching Mousasi vs Henderson and think ok im pretty sure these guys are just as good as the UFCs best which IMO they are.
Quote-Scurlauntings- The UFC doesnt even have a ranking system. Dana makes whatever fights that will make the most money. Is that fair of course not. And yet he has the audacity to berate boxing and its plethora of belts. Well at least boxing has a ranking system. Those in glass houses shouldnt throw stones. End quote. If your giving boxings rankings system props your a fool, they rank who ever they want where ever they want whichever promoter pays them the most. If you've been following the sport in the last few decades you would know this.
I'm actually looking forward to the fight card tomorrow night. I just saw the weigh in and it looks good. They got enough talent to compete with ufc. With henderson coming soon it will add more talent. Fedor vs Rogers Shields vs Miller Silva vs Werdum Mousasi vs sokoudju
Shut up you twit. It is what it is. At least boxing has a system that has a modicum of flexibility and A RANKING system. Flawed as it may be it exists. The UFC doesnt have one. Dana does what makes the UFC the most cash. Point blank point simple.
And what do you think boxing does you moron??????? Holy **** are you that stupid or are your UFC hate blinders that bad??? Point blank point simple !
I think I like it better when you log on with your other name, wentz. Kidding, bygones I actually agree with you. I believe the UFC does need a ranking system. Like boxing, it could be skewed by popularity. It would still make them have to work to justify their match-ups. The UFC has made the best face the best, from what I can tell. In the future, as they sign more and more fighters, a ranking system may make them more accountable.
Yeah im real blind so blind to see that boxing has a ranking system and the UFC does not. Goodness sake man take Dana's dick out of your mouth for 2 secs and actually see the Sun. Its real bright when you look up.
Yeah this isnt some secound rate show with secound rate talent all of these guys are credible fighters atleast. Fedor - Pride FC Heavyweight Champion, # 1 rated Heavyweight and p4p fighter currently and all time. Brett Rogers - Ranked # 6 at Heavyweight by Sherdog and is coming off a 22 secound KO over former UFC Champion Andrei Arlovski. Jake Shields - # 4 ranked Welterweight, Elite XC Champion, Rumble of the Rock Champion. Mayhem Miller - Fought all over in the big shows WEC, Dream, UFC etc. Owns wins over the likes of Denis Kang, Robbie Lawler and Tim Kennedy. Gegard Mousasi - Current Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion, Dream Middleweight Champion, ranked 7th in the world at 205. Sokoujou - Owns wins over top 10 Light Heavyweights Rogerio Noguiera and Ricardo Arona. Antonio Silva - The only Elite XC Heavyweight Champion. Fabrico Werdum - Top 10 ranked Heavyweight for the better part of about 5 years now, defeated top guys such as Aleksander Emelienko, Alistair Overeem, Gabriel Gonzaga 2x and Brandon Vera. Everyone on the show has excellent MMA credentials and IMO its a better MUCH better card on paper then the UFC PPV last month I think Rothwell-Velasquez pails in comparison as a co main event to any of the 3 Strikeforce undercard bouts. Id pay 50 bucks for this card honestly there isnt one weak fight in anyway.
True and don't forget alistair overeem.. the heavyweight champion? add gilbert melendez-frank shamrock-randleman-babalu-whitehead-nick diaz-lindland-robby lawler-scott smith-heiron-joe riggs-thomson- etc They got enough talent.
The real problem is no matter what subject comes up you bring up Dana and the UFC, Your obsession with Dana is scary, It's almost as bad as Wentz's obseesion with Zuffa. If somebody talks about WW2 you bring up Dana and blame the UFC. A ranking system doesn't always work. Would Anderson Silva got his title shot after beating Leben if you had a ranking system?? NO, that's why common sense has to overrule a ranking system syetem at times. Loose your obsession with Dana!, you've been on a propaganda attack on the UFC for years now, your nearing troll status.
