Despite apparent title snub, Hieron happy with Strikeforce and feeling “like a ninja”

Simply put, Jay Hieron has not always had the best of luck in his MMA career.

After dealing with the collapse of both the IFL and Affliction, Hieron recently watched a contracted Strikeforce title fight with Nick Diaz go up in smoke through no fault of his own. Now Hieron fights Joe Riggs on Jan. 30 at
“Strikeforce: Miami,” while DREAM champ Marius Zaromskis faces Diaz for
the vacant Strikeforce belt.

So with all the turmoil in front of him, how does Hieron feel? Like a ninja.
