Strikeforce: Renato “Babalu” Sobral vs. Dan Henderson in the Works

According to Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker on MMAWeekly.com Radio:

“I talked to Jordan, his manager, and they said they probably want to fight at 205 instead of 185. (They) felt that the weight cut was too much, and Dan would welcome to fight Babalu again, Gegard Mousasi, for a 205-pound contender’s bout.”

“I don’t think you’ll see Dan in the 185-pound tournament.”

“I think a fight between Babalu and Dan is something we might pursue in the very near future.”

The rematch could determine the number one contender for the light heavyweight title [vs. Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal].
