By Chart Topper Strikeforce light-heavyweight champion Gegard Mousasi was asked recently about the prospects of former Pride champion Dan Hendreson making the move to Strikeforce and if he would like to face him in the cage. “I think if he would join Strikeforce that there are plenty of good match-ups for him, he would bring a lot of excitement with him,” he told Fighters Only tonight following days of speculation in the MMA media regarding Henderson possibly jumping the UFC ship. And he added with a laugh, “I personally wouldn’t like to fight him, because if I fight a high-calibre fighter like Dan Henderson or a bum I would get paid the same, so there isn’t any motivation to fight a better fighter - although for the right money I would fight even Godzilla.”   [read the full post]

By Chart Topper FanHouse: We had previously heard Fedor vs. Rogers would be on Showtime. How did the deal go down to put it on CBS? Scott Coker: We just got a call that CBS was interested in doing that fight, and we were all in agreement that would be a win-win for CBS to put MMA back on the air. It’s a great day for the mixed martial arts industry. FanHouse: Will Shields and Miller fight each other? Scott Coker: That hasn’t been confirmed. This is an exciting fight for the sport of mixed martial arts. The fans can tune in to CBS on Nov. 7 and see Fedor fight Rogers, plus Jake Shields, Mayhem Miller, Cris Cyborg, Gegard Mousasi, that’s a great day for mixed martial arts. I’m very happy we’re going to put MMA back on CBS and I’m looking forward to it.   [read the full post]

By Kid Nate Gegard Mousasi has silenced this doubter. His utter dominance of Renato 'Babalu' Sobral for the Strikeforce light heavyweight belt sent a message to the MMA world.
