    Dana White said that Dan signed with Strikeforce and Coker has denied this claim. I am trying to figure out what kind of game Dana is playing here, is this some kind of ruse to try to get Hendo to prove Dana White wrong by signing with UFC on the cheap?

    Coker probably wants to announce it himself on Saturday. Dana is trying to steal his thunder.

    Good for Dan, good for Strikeforce, and it oculd be good for MMA in general.

    Hendo - Mousasi!!!

    Or a super fight :], Hendo - Fedor!

    That seems a lot more logical than my crazy schemes.

    Hendo's manager came out and said these reports are not true.

    I think they are and it will be announced either tomorrow, or @ Strikeforce's show.

    I think Dana is right/is trying to break the news.

    Hendo was walking around at Strikeforce's weigh ins on the stage.

    I'm guessing Coker will announce it tomorrow.

    Sokoudjou is a Team Quest guy, could explain why Hendo was there.

    I think Hendo is going to Strikeforce, but like Chocolove said, Sok is a TQ guy.

    Ok, Dan is an honest quality guy.

    You have to believe, if he says he hasn't signed yet in an interview, then he hasn't signed yet.
