DALLAS – When 40-year-old Jeff Monson makes his
Strikeforce debut at Saturday night’s “Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum”
event, it won’t exactly be a new experience.

The near-14-year veteran has more than 50 fights to his credit,
including a failed bid for the UFC’s heavyweight title back in 2006.

Nevertheless, Monson admits his bout with undefeated prospect Daniel
Cormier will be special, and he knows his future may
hinge on a positive result.
