Big signing for StrikeForce. Dana, in his arrogance, keeps thinking that the UFC is the only place for MMA and he's driving away a lot of fighters with his attitude. And fans for that matter.

In this Fanhouse article Dana says that he basically let Henderson go to StrikeForce because he didn't want to negotiate with him any further. Then he goes on to say that if he wants someone, he can sign whoever he wants. That should go over well with fighters. Then in typical Dana fashion, he goes and badmouths Henderson. So he's badmouthed and trashed in the recent year - Couture, Fedor, Rampage and now Henderson. Not to mention that he also said stuff about Lesnar, Tito and Kimbo. Way to respect the guys that have made him money and have respect in the sport. I agree with most of the fan comments after the article that say that Dana's arrogance will be UFC's downfall. He spends all this time trashing and badmouthing StrikeForce (who he was ok with until they got Fedor) yet his PPVs since 100 have been 1 fight cards and not very good ones at that. Now we get an old Chuck and Tito for the next Fighter? When he made the announcement he seemed bored and didn't even know what weight division it would be. What is that? At least this weekend's UFC 107 PPV looks solid. Now he's released a card for UFC 109 - Little Nog v. Vera, Kos v. Thiago Silva 2, Couture v. Coleman?

UFC needs to step up because they are quickly losing the momentum they had with UFC 100.
