Yeah, you may have ur Babalu or Mousasi matchup, but he'd quickly run out of decent fights.
I don't see him running out of fights at all in SF:
Hendo vs Nick Diaz
Hendo vs Robby Lawler Hendo vs Mousasi Hendo vs King Mo
Hendo vs Jake Shields
Hendo vs Shamrock
Hendo vs Babalu
Hendo vs Scott Smith
How is that running out of fights? Those are all fights I would love to see.

The Spider has influenced Dana and his #1 contender decision making. The Spider has also turned the MW division upside down by playing politics instead of fighting. He has been critisized for his last two fights wwhich were lackluster performances He doesn't want to fight Hendo Or belfort...he wasnts the Leites...the sandmans and the forrests. He is avoiding the Hendos and the belforts.
Now Hendo going to strikeforce really makes things interesting. Mousasi has trained with fedor and has skills anywhere the fight goes. imagine the staredown...damn.
I really can not understand the Silva hate, Nate the great is more derserving than Dan, but i don't see the issues of having them fight for true #1 status? Vitor doesn't deserve to fight Silva yet and i belive he said he doesn't want to, i would love to see vitor vs Maia. Wow, your using Forrest like he is a nobody, he a former lightheavyweight champion, he beat the guy that beat henderson. So i don't know why your including his name with Leites.
Hendo vs Fedor? I hope Strikeforce doesn't run out of heavyweights that quickly.
Well theres Rogers... then they run out.
Their MW division is really good though. Can't say they have "better" fighters in their MW division, but for me at least, the matchups are more interesting than seeing Anderson destroy someone.
Dan wants a title shot IMHO and to help influence that by asking for big money if he doesn't. SF he probely has a better chance of being the champ too and if they give him good money not 500k though Dan still wins.
If this happens, then I'm really fucking glad that Dana fucked up his Ferrari. The insurance premium alone would probably cover what Dan was asking for, so would the value of its depreciation the car would have endured after his crash.
It's funny, but aside from Nate and Anderson, I'd much rather see Hendo in Strikeforce fighting potentially:
Mousasi
Jacre
Lawler
Frank
Babalu
Shields(if he stays at 185)
Diaz
Fights with Wand and Vitor would be cool, but really garner nothing of prosper for Hendo since he ruined them both and he'd throw Akiyama around. LHW would only really be an option if Machida retains, but other than that, there's just more potential in Strikeforce.
And I would not be surprised AT ALL, if they introduce him to Strikeforce with a FEDOR bout, it may sound ridiculous, but those Team Quest guys all seem to have a taste for blood in the water when it comes to Fedor and the size difference isn't that epic. Hendo is actually one person I would not be shocked to see actually defeat Fedor IMO, it'd be a longshot, but looking at the potential PPV drawing power, I wouldn't rule it out.
This would be a MASSIVE LOSS for the UFC and a coup for Strikeforce. Hendo and Rampage GONE within a month and Lesnar out for the forseeable future and Anderson looking to wind things up soon. GEEZ, I think it's time Dana start taking some nice pills or something before it's just him and and a TUF cast left....
imho, Strikeforce doesn't need Dan Henderson. Dan Henderson thought he would use Strikeforce as a bargaining chip against the UFC, and now he's probably just looking for a way to save face before he accepts the UFC offer. I don't see Strikeforce offering him nearly as much as the UFC would of, so the only reason Dan signs with Strikeforce for less money is for the non-exclusive contracts so he can fight overseas and make the big Japanese money, cuz he's one of the King Shits over there.
Watch for Dan to pull an Overeem and fight 1 American fight, and then 6 or 7 Japan Fights before his next fight in America.

....imo Dan loses to Mousasi, but beat's most everyone else they have a MW and LHW. ......if they got him for a good price which I doubt then good move SF.....most likley he will be back in the UFC by the end of 2010,and SF will not be around.
