Strikeforce stacking the Middleweights; Manhoef & Henderson on board


If you've been sleepin the past 3 to 4 months, oh have been participating in the UFC injury drama/fill in the blank Pay Per Views, you might not have noticed some of the mo important news in MMA regarding other organizations.

Melvin Manhoef (23-6), and Dan "Don't make fun of my missin tooth 'cause I'll slam you" Henderson (25-7) have recently signed multi-fight deals with Strikeforce. This not only stacks the Middleweights, but also brings together 3 of the fighters that most MMA fans consider threats to Anderson Silva at 185. Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza, Melvin "The 5'8" Giant" Manhoef, and Dan Henderson. Yeah I know! Dan already lost to Silva, but he did earn a title shot, and a re-match that never happened. Not to mention he's on fire as of late.

So here's what "Strikefarces" Middleweight division looks like. And I ca't believe people keep sayin they's no competition over there?!?

Middleweight Division (171-185):

1. Jake Shields (24-4)
2. "Jacare" Souza (10-2)
3. Matt Lindland (21-6)
4. Tim Kennedy (11-2)
5. Mayhem Miller (22-7)
6. Melvin Manhoef (23-6)
7. Robbie Lawler (18-5)
8. Cung Le (6-0)
9. Luke Rockhold (6-1)
10. Scott Smith (16-6)
11.Frank Shamrock (23-10)
