Strikeforce didn’t want to pick him up because he wants too much money and was destroyed by Lawler and Radach.

really?
too much money? I don’t think Shine fights would/could pay him more than the value SF declined..

I think they are paying very well. They signed Mayorga and a few others. I forgot how much he wanted, but I believe it was like 50K.
Murilo Rua – $25,000 (plus $25,000 win bonus) when he fought Villasenor a while ago for EliteXC.
