Dan Henderson signs with Strikeforce

Middleweight MMA star Dan Henderson has finally signed on with Strikeforce after several months of negotiations with both UFC and Strikeforce. It was thought he would re-sign with the UFC where he had been most of his recent career but instead he will now be at Strikeforce and looms large as solid competition for Gegard Moussasi (light heavyweight) and Jake Sheilds (middleweight). Henderson even said he would challenge Fedor Emelianenko at heavyweight. The Strikeforce lineup has now become even stronger. Henderson will get a lot of television exposure as well on CBS. It will definitely be interesting to see a Henderson - Shields or Henderson - Moussasi fight. Both would be amazingly interesting fights at either middleweight or light heavyweight. Henderson said Moussasi is a guy you could be pegged to beat Anderson Silva. Moussasi is widely considered the future star of MMA.
