does Mousasi vs Hendo make sense now?

Does Mousasi vs Hendo make sense now? I know that fight made a ton of sense if they both won this weekend. Does it still make sense with both guys losing? Or should Strikeforce try to get both guys back on track with wins first?

I think so. To me, it makes sense to pin two guys coming off a loss together unless Hendo or Mousasi were fighting some up and comer on a hot steak looking for a high profile win...but two established guys fighting should probably be when they are both coming off a loss or both winning.

I think its in Strikeforce's best interest to get each of them wins. I still like the match up now or later.

Hendo vs Babalu & Mousasi vs Gracie would work though

The smart thing would be giving them cans first. That said, I can see them putting it together if they get another CBS show. I wouldn't mind it then if its on the big stage.

Strikeforce isn't too deep in the LHW division... If you want to set up bigger fights down the road they both need to knock off a couple of guys in dramatic fashion. Maybe Hendo v. Babalu and Mousasi v. Cavalcante... Then they can fight eachother for a shot at Mo. Question is, who does Mo fight now? That division is screwed as far as a guy being a legitimate contender for Mo to face for a title fight...

I think that fight still makes alot of since. I'd rather they fight next instead of waiting.

With Hendo being so old wouldn't you want to get the draw out of him while you can? That is why I would lean toward sooner rather then later for this fight.

If SF is willing to get Rogers a title shot coming off a loss to Fedor then why not give Hendo a title shot vs Mo?

Yeah, Hendo could use a punching bag i guess considering Shields made him look pretty sub par.

That is why I say Hendo vs Mousasi now for a shot at Mo. Let Mo wait for winner.

I'd rather see Hendo stay at middleweight while he can still make the weight. Jake's leaving anyway, so Dan will be in line for the vacant belt.

If Jake leaves then please have Hendo vs Lawler for the vacant title

I agree but I think we will see Hendo vs Mo next

I hope Jake gets one more fight with Strikeforce so Jacare can shoot up to #2 middleweight in the world already...lol, and we'll have another top fighter that Anderson Silva refuses to fight.

I am not really buying those stories. Dan probably did struggle, but what did he expect, Dan stayed inactive since July 2009.
