Promo video for the event after the break.
[UPDATES] via @Mike_Fagan_13:
– Scott Coker is sick and will not be on the call. He is rumored to be better ‘next week.’
– John Beyrooty announces that there are no announcements re future shows. Asks media to keep questions to the Mar 5 show.
– Hendo: Mo and I have very different wrestling styles. He works from the outside, I work from the clinch. I thought Mo didn’t use strikes to set up his wrestling.
– Hendo: ‘Feijao’ throws more looping, than straight punches, but he’s dangerous standing. It’s no secret: both of us are looking for the knockout.
– Feijao: Every fight is different.
– Hendo: ‘Feijao’ is a challenge. Winning the title is just icing on the cake.
– Hendo: I don’t feel weak on 205, so why cut the weight to 185?
– Hendo: I have no plans to stop fighting. As long as I can continue to compete with top guys, I’ll keep fighting. Strikeforce asked if I was interested in HWGP, I said yes, they went a different direction.
– Feijao: I like the matchup with Dan wherever it goes. Standing up, in the clinch, on the ground.
– Hendo: ‘Feijao’ is a little more dangerous than ‘Babalu.’ More power, better chin.
– Hendo doesn’t think Fedor’s heart is in it anymore. Thinks he needs more motivation to go out and train. Admits he’s speculating.
– Masvidal says Strikeforce has one of the deepest LW divisions in the world.
– Billy says he doesn’t know what kind of fighter Jorge is, heard he is ‘long.’
