Strikeforce boss: With proper training camp, Jose Canseco could get fight

Have the floodgates opened?

Mere weeks after former Jose Canseco’s potential foray into U.S. mixed martial arts appeared to be a dead issue, Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said he’s not entirely opposed to the former baseball star entering the cage.

That’s not to say Coker is actively campaigning to sign Canseco, a former MLB All-Star. But as Coker said – half-jokingly – after the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s recent signing of 41-year-old boxer James Toney, all bets are off.
