Filed under: Strikeforce
After a February show that kicked off the Heavyweight Grand Prix in style, Strikeforce will do its best on Saturday night to keep the momentum going despite a long delay before the next Grand Prix fight. And the man they’ll count on to help them keep the momentum going is the most prominent non-heavyweight the promotion has ever signed: Dan Henderson.
Henderson, whose signing was heralded as a major coup for Strikeforce in 2009, will now fight for the promotion’s light heavyweight title after falling short of earning the middleweight belt a year ago. Although Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante is the champion, Henderson is the undisputed main draw on Saturday night’s four-fight Showtime card, which we’ll preview here.
What: Strikeforce: Feijao vs. Henderson
When: Saturday, the live Showtime card begins at 10 PM ET.
Where: Nationwide Arena, Columbus
