Contrary to published reports and the fighter’s own Twitter account, Jay Hieron has not yet secured his release from Strikeforce.
The fighter recently told MMA Fighting that the two sides are still speaking, but he’s looking forward, not backward.
“I jumped the gun. We’re working on it,” said Hieron, who was in Boston last weekend to help teammate Randy Couture finish preparations in facing James Toney at UFC 118. “Strikeforce is a good organization. I’ve had a good time fighting for them but I’m looking to the future. We haven’t cut ties yet. We’re working on a few things. But I’m in the gym every day and I’m definitely going to fight again in 2010.”
