After months of speculation, Dan Henderson has finally agreed to sign with Strikeforce.

Dana White responds:

“Nothing’s going to help Strikeforce,” Dana said. “They have too many fighters under contract and not enough events. They can’t keep some of their obligations to fighters already. Either they’re going to start breaching contracts or paying fighters not to fight. It’ll take a lot more than one guy to help them. Their whole business model is f****d. They’re coming after UFC? Yeah, OK.

“I could care less,” he continued. “Here’s the reality: If I wanted Henderson, he’d be in the UFC. It’s not like, ‘F***, Strikeforce beat me out.’ He’s been a free agent for a long time. If I wanted him, I would have signed him by now.”

Henderson’s business partner and manager, Aaron Crecy responds via Strikeforce press release:

“I’d like to thank Dana (White) and the UFC for the opportunities they provided me and I wish them ongoing success. I’ll continue to watch their events and I hope they’ll tune in to my fights in Strikeforce. After all, I’m a true fan of our fantastic sport and would love only to see MMA continue to grow,”

… “I’m very happy to be a part of Strikeforce and their partnership with CBS and Showtime… Strikeforce and its growing roster of world class talent will offer me many exciting fights and has the ability to bring many new fans from all around the world to mixed martial arts. I am grateful to [Strikeforce CEO] Scott Coker for the opportunity to help make this happen and for treating me with the utmost respect throughout our negotiations.”
