Mike Chiapetta from MMAFighting lays out how messed up the current situation is with Strikeforce:
Welterweight champion Nick Diaz recently defected to the UFC
Heavyweight champion Overeem is on the last fight of his current deal
Light-heavyweight champion Dan Henderson is on the last fight of his current deal
Women’s middleweight champ Cris Cyborg remains an unsigned free agent
Gina Carano’s comeback fight was mysteriously canceled, and there’s been no talk of a return
Popular middleweight Cung Le, who hasn’t fought in over one year, recently said if he does fight again, it will be in the UFC and not Strikeforce.
