Calls for a Superfight

The UFC has put out the word that upon victory at UFC 129 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada against Jake Shield's, Georges St. Pierre will be slated to fight the organization's middleweight champion Anderson Silva. Having gone undefeated, Silva will be looking for new competition and after cleaning out the Welterweight division, St. Pierre has run out of worthy opponents. This is a superfight that makes a whole lot of sense.

Leave it to Strikeforce to bastardize the idea of a superfight...

After a third round TKO victory in his most recent fight, Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champ Dan Henderson is being talked about as a potential matchup for Fedor Emelianenko. Now let me tell you a little something about this 'Superfight.'

Dan Henderson isn't all that great. Neither is Fedor. And a superfight just doesn't add up. In his last three fights, Dan Henderson is 2-1 with wins against a mediocre Renato 'Babalu' Sobral and a middle of the road Rafael 'Feijao' Cavalcante with a lone loss to former Welterweight Champion Jake Shields. So let's get this straight, Henderson has face mediocre talent in his victories and smaller opponents in his loss.

Fedor on the other hand was long undefeated, which made him a fan favorite and an instant draw, but he hasn't won a fight since November 2009. His last two outings have been losses. One via submission to Fabricio Werdum and the other via man-handling and ass-kickingg by Antonio 'Bigfoot' Silva. His solo victory came after a first round beating by Brett Rogers. Who's that you ask? Exactly.

So this Superfight is another exampple of Strikeforce match-making at it's worst. Rarely does it get worse than this, but it's what is to be expected from an organization that gives title shots to it's losers. Congratulations Strikeforce, you've done it again.
