Gracie Fighter Comments On Dan Henderson and UFC Fighters Coming To Strikeforce: Jake Shields was elated upon hearing the news Strikeforce had signed Dan Henderson. The Jiu-jitsu blackbelt has been on a 13 fight win streak and has steamrolled all challengers in Strikeforce and in the now defunct EliteXC show. Dan Henderson is a big name fight. Having headlined several shows in Pride and in the UFC, the veteran is the type of fighter a true champion looks forward to facing. A win over the crafty fighter at the 185lbs weight would catapult Shields to the top of the world's pound for pound elite. To Jake it's always been about testing himself and looking for the next challenge. In the past it seemed as if he would have to go to the UFC in order to do that. Fortunately it now seems that the UFC's best could very well be coming to him.

Today, Henderson told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio) that he wouldn't be surprised if more top-level fighters follow his example and explore options outside of the sport's biggest promotion. "It's inevitable," Henderson said. "For a while, there wasn't any other options, and fighters were not really keen on that idea of not having a place to shop around. They weren't real happy with the UFC kind of having a monopoly on everything. It's their way or the highway, and now there is another option. That makes [fighters] feel a little more comfortable." ... "If I was the only guy over there and would walk through everybody that they had, I wouldn't have gone over. Strikeforce has some guys that are going to challenge me. I don't do this just for the money or whatever. I do it for the challenge. If none of these matchups were going to excite me or give me goosebumps, then I'm not going to do it. I do have goosebumps thinking about pretty much all three of their champions at those weight classes." ... "[My first Strikeforce fight] will be on the next CBS show, and I'm not sure when that is," Henderson said. "I've still got about four months, probably. We're not exactly sure of the date.
