I don’t know, said Pat Healy after his win over Eric Wisely at Friday’s Challengers 18, when asked who Strikeforce may look to match him up against. I just want to fight again as soon as possible. As I’ve said a couple of times now, I only fought once when I was 27 years old…that is not good. I felt like it affected this performance a little bit; I was a little bit rusty. You know I just want to fight; hopefully by the end of October, although I’d really like to be on that next Challengers card in September.
Healy recently voiced his frustrations to FCF about the inactivity he’s experienced since signing with Strikeforce, and the negative financial effects that have risen as a result. While Healy also said that since Zuffa acquired Strikeforce he’s more optimistic his schedule will be busier, questions remain as to what the future holds for the promotion altogether, particularly due to the fact its broadcasting deal with Showtime could reportedly end soon.
It seems to me like it might go away, said Healy, while discussing the future of Strikeforce. I mean it’s not making money like the UFC, obviously, and the UFC is doing so many shows right now that they need fighters.
“I just don’t see Strikeforce making a bunch of money any time soon. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it gone by February.
