Dan Henderson signs with Strikeforce for many reasons
It only took six weeks for Dan Henderson to finalize his agreement with Strikeforce and sign a four-fight, 16 month deal, says Loretta Hunt at Sherdog. News of the signing first appeared in mid-October after the middleweight brutally knocked out opposing Ultimate Fighter 9 coach, Michael Bisping. Since then, little has been said regarding his singing with Strikeforce, so the news today brings some closure to the initial agreement. Interestingly, Dana White says that he pushed Henderson… (Full Story)
Henderson to Strikeforce: A lose-lose-lose situation
For Henderson: Will Strikeforce pay him the money he wants? Mousasi doesn’t think so. If Fedor doesn’t get an immediate title shot, Henderson doesn’t get one. Big fights (against big names) for Henderson in Strikeforce…,anybody? For the UFC: The UFC invested too much in Dan Henderson (who is probably a future UFC hall of famer) from the Ultimate Fighter to spot at UFC 100 main card. Henderson at 39 is probably one or two fights away from being the second “legend” in… (Full Story)
He deserves a shot at the title, not a shot at the Spider
We all here at mmaopinion.com are big fans of Dan Henderson. After rumors about signing with Strikeforce, Curtis Clontz said it’s not a surprise. Josh Stein said the move is not that bad for Henderson. So I thought I would add my thoughts on the subject too. While the UFC didn’t do right by Henderson promising him with a shot after shot at Silva only to break their promise each time. What they did wrong was the promising itself not the fact that they didn’t give him the title… (Full Story)
Henderson to Strikeforce: Not All Bad
The fight everyone wants to see from Dan Henderson (25-7, 5-2 UFC, #3/#8 IWMMAR) is the second fight with UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva (25-4 MMA, 10-0 UFC, #1/#4 IWMMAR), but with Henderson going to Strikeforce, that may never happen. Still, there are a lot of great potential fights for Henderson under the Strikeforce banner, and bringing in a top ten fighter in two divisions gives Strikeforce a lot of options. Given their work with Dream, a long term bout between Ronaldo… (Full Story)
Dan Henderson Has No Interest In A Fight With Nate Marquardt
Speaking to Sports Illustrated’s Josh Gross, UFC middleweight contender, Dan Henderson gave his thoughts on the Randy Couture-Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira bout and a potential fight with Nate Marquardt. Henderson first spoke about the epic battle between the two former UFC heavyweight champions. Having fought Nogueira twice during their days with Pride and being a former training partner of Couture at Team Quest allowed Henderson to weigh in on how the fight played out. Henderson was quite… (Full Story)
Who’s Next For Anderson Silva? Marquardt or Henderson.
Both fighters are riding three fight winning streaks. Both men have shown the ability to finish their opponents. Both men have already fallen victim to “The Spider”. Both Nate Marquardt and Dan Henderson can make a great argument as to why they should be the next middleweight challenger to have another crack at Anderson Silva. Both men are coming off of high profile match-ups where they finished off their opponents in dramatic fashion…. (Full Story)
Silva and Henderson: A Great Rivalry
It’s hard to internalize the idea that Anderson Silva (24-4 MMA, 9-0 UFC, #1 IWMMAR) has any rivals at all. I mean, this is a fighter who has thoroughly and decisively beaten everyone he stepped in the cage with. Even Patrick Cote (14-5 MMA, 4-5 UFC), the one fighter to go down in an even mildly controversial fashion, isn’t anything close to a peer for Silva. So when I say that Anderson Silva and Dan Henderson are rivals, it’s important to understand that there are a handful of… (Full Story)
