Jake Shields v. Dan Henderson in Strikeforce Confirmed

MMA Weekly with information on the confirmation of a possible Strikeforce main event:

Dan Henderson and Jake Shields have agreed to meet in Strikeforce with the middleweight title on the line in April. Shields confirmed the bout when speaking to MMAWeekly Radio on Tuesday night.

Now, both Shields and Henderson have a deal in place to put the two middleweights in the cage together in April, although according to the current Strikeforce champion, while a date and venue have been given to the fighters, the actual broadcast has yet to be determined.
“I have a date (and) venue, but they told me to hold that back,” said Shields. “Hopefully CBS. I think it’s CBS. There’s a slight possibility of Showtime because they’re still (working it out). I don’t know the rest of the card or any of that yet. But me and Dan’s on, and I’m hoping it’s on CBS.”

It’s likely that the event being held on CBS is completely dependent on if Fedor Emelianenko will fight on the card. Shields fought on the last CBS show and while victorious the fight lost viewers and was anything but a good watch. Henderson carries some name recognition but he’s not a “superstar” and I just can’t see any way that Henderson/Shields does good enough ratings for CBS as a headliner.

SB Nation will have more details on this Strikeforce event, including venue, date, and other fights as they become available.
