PrintDistak and the “historical day” on Strikeforce-tatame
According to Josuel Distak boxing coach to newly crowned Strikeforce champions Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza and Rafael "Feijao" Calvacante both fighters first title defences could com against Dan Henderson and Gegard Mousasi:
Well, the event hasn’t said anything, but we’re preparing ourselves, setting our strategy for these belt defenses. Let’s see, but I think that the hardest one is on our way… I believe it’ll be against Dan Henderson or (Gerard) Mousasi. I think both of these fighters might confront us
My guess is Henderson would face Jacare while Mousasi would challenge Feijao. The fact of the matter however is that both Henderson and Mousasi are both coming off extremly one-sided decision loses to Jake Shields and King Mo in Strikeforce. If what Josuel is saying holds true it is another serious matchmaking error on the part of Strikeforce.

I call BS. Mousasi won his last fight he can’t get a title shot.

Loser gets a title shot
sounds about right
"How do you shoot the devil in the back? What if you miss?"
Considering the value of SF titles...
especially considering they’ve added Champions Clauses, that might be an appropriate punishment.
I like Fedor, it’s just his fans that are intolerable...and his management.
Coker to Dan Henderson and Brett Rogers

Hendo isn't fighting at MW anymore...

If he gets the shot, it’ll be against Feijao. Hendo doesn’t deserve it though, not in the least, and no after that humiliating loss to Shields. He needs to work his way back. Mousasi I could see getting the shot, especially if he beats Tatsuya Mizuno at DREAM.16, then it would be a champion vs. champion fight with Feijao.
The most deserving fighter though is Mike Kyle, can’t stress that enough. He butchered Feijao 14 months ago, is on a three fight win streak, and is the most worthy fighter right now.
Don’t fuck this up Strikeforce.
I tried to fart and a lil shit came out. BOINK!
Mike Kyle shouldn’t even be fighting.

His DQ was more than 4 years ago and he had to sit out nearly 2 years after it. The guy he was fighting was clearly fine afterwards as he fought again 6 months later and has had 3 fights since, all wins. Kyle has not had any incidents since he started fighting again. I think it’s time you get over it. Or maybe we should ban for life Kyle, Babalu, Daley, Palhares, and any other fighter who has kept fighting after the fight was over.

GEE MAYBE WE SHOULD
Palhares wasn’t nearly as egregious as the other three you named, all of which I could do without if only to teach a lesson to everyone else: respect the fucking tap and respect the fucking referee.

Well
I’d actually argue that what Palhares did was much more of a dick move, holding heel hooks is a serious no- no, and even though it only turned out to be just soft- tissue damage, and held it even a bit after the ref waved Toquinho off.
Imanari ruined Gurgel’s career by doing that.
I still think Yvel KO’ing the ref is the worst thing by far, but all those guys should be ashamed.

Ashamed, punished, sure. But “shouldn’t even be fighting”? That’s just ridiculous. Also tired of hearing people still complaining about Kyle when it was over 4 years ago and he was punished quite severely for it.

It should be Mike Kyle next
Hendo can fight Babalu, Gegard can finish up with DREAM, then we can see what happens.
