Paul Buentello has chosen to not sign with Strikeforce and is negotiating with the UFC for a return to the promotion where he once challenged for the heavyweight title. The real story in my eyes is Scott Coker kind of taking a public dump on Buentello with this quote:
The Headhunter Negotiating Return To UFC
↵↵“We offered Paul a six-figure contract to fight Fedor, but he turned it down,†Coker said. “His decision is understandable considering Fedor’s level of skill but, at the same time, Paul didn’t really fit into our plans. He’s been a solid journeyman fighter and we wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.â€
↵↵Making him seem like a chump who knows he’d lose to fedor and calling him a journeyman? That’s pretty low rent from a guy who honestly is usually a great guy to fighters.
