Just read that Lesnar is worse off then originally thought. White even talked about the possibility of stripping his title. Big Nog has staph infection again,and Shane Carwin might be having knee surgery. I won't post the link because there are spoilers for tonight's fight though.

Yeah, I was just reading that. It's silly really, everyone knows Fedor would make mono tap in the first round.

That was probably one of the sorriest fights I've seen. Houston trying to win the cheap way, and it ended up looking straight pathetic. Kimbo wanted to bang, but Houston wasn't going to back up his own talk. I think this was just a hand picked fight by Dana... drain the Kimbo hype as long as he can.

That was pathetic - both fighters deserve a loss, and I agree with the hand-picked assesment. The UFC wants Kimbo to be around for a PPV. Two things - although Kimbo may have won the fight, there is no way he could have won all three rounds, as one judge had it, b/c he didn't do a single damn thing in the first round. Also, no way these two weighed in just seven pounds apart, Kimbo looked twenty to thirty pounds heavier.

I thought the finale was interesting. The fat guy definitely was the most skilled of the season's participants.

Honestly Kimbo impressed me...he looked much better as a fighter last night and much more rounded overall. His ground game had grown leaps and bounds since the season fight against big fatty.

Dana White wasn't happy with Mazzagatti and expressed that through his tweets on twitter.

Kimbo did look a lot better, had a couple nice throws and actually looked like he almost had a clue on the ground. He just needs work, his conditioning seems to be his weakest link everytime that I have seen him other than his ground game. But his ground game coming along, but still needs a lot of work.

It's official: Dan Henderson signs 4-fight contract with Strikeforce

Former two-title Pride champion Dan Henderson has signed a four-fight deal with Strikeforce, Henderson's business partner and friend Aaron Crecy told MMAWeekly.com on Monday after AOL Fanhouse reported the deal. Yahoo! Sports first reported the negotiations between Henderson and Strikeforce in October.

Henderson, 39, could contend for a Strikeforce title in April on card to be broadcast by CBS, said another source with knowledge of negotiations. It is unknown whether his first fight would be in the 185 or 205-pound division.

Jack Shields, the manager/father of current middleweight champion Jake Shields, was open to a bout with Henderson, but hadn't spoken to Strikeforce as of Monday morning. He said Shields was still deciding whether to fight at welterweight or middleweight, and added Shields' contract with the promotion ended in mid-June.

Henderson became a free agent in August and was unable to come to terms with the UFC on a new contract. UFC president Dana White repeatedly claimed Henderson was asking for too much money during re-negotiations, a claim which Henderson and Crecy steadfastly denied.
"UFC's got a business to run and I?m not doing charity work with this," Henderson told MMAWeekly in October. "I don't believe that I'm asking for too much money, and I know for a fact that I'm taking less money than other fighters."

Crecy said the UFC reached out to Henderson last week but no deal was made.

Henderson last appeared in July, knocking out fellow "Ultimate Fighter" season nine coach Michael Bisping at UFC 100. He went 3-2 in a 22-month stint inside the Octagon.
