Strikeforce Not Saying "NO" To Jose Canseco Just Yet

After repeated claims that they were not planning on meeting Jose Canseco about fighting for Strikeforce, only to meet with him about God knows what. Scott Coker isn't exactly closing the book on Jose Canseco potentially fighting for Strikeforce. Check it out via MMAJunkie:
"I can tell you this: If Cesar Gracie says to me, 'Jose's training with me, I'm going to get him ready, and I'm going to do it in four or five months,' and Cesar's telling me this? That will have a lot of weight on what we decide,"
Then Cesar Gracie chimes in, after all he would be the one responsible for the Jose Canseco's training:
"Scott said if Jose wants to train, he'll put him in a Challenger series (event) if it's not the Herschel Walker fight," Gracie said. "There are a couple of other organizations that are interested in Jose that I'm meeting with next week."
So now that the UFC has snatched up boxer James Tony, Strikeforce could very well do a Jose Canseco fight. Color me sick.

LOL. See, I know they’re brought up in comparison a lot, but to me there is no comparison between the signing of Toney and Canseco potentially signing with Coker. At least Toney has Hall of Fame credentials in a combat sport. Canseco is just as old or older and his combat sports credentials are: a draw with Danny Bonaduce, getting it handed to him by freakin’ Vai Sikehema and getting owned by Hong Man Choi.
Screw Canseco
I hope he goes to one of those other orgs. Let him go to Wild Bills or something and sell Hooters VIP “Watch me eat wings” packages.

It would be better if you could pitch to him or play catch like in Eastbound and Down

Next stop, Butterbean vs Genki!
You know, I will admit it. I LOVE crazy fights. I love that in Japan, anything felt like it could happen. Oh, its pure classless freak matches, but you got to admit, it is fun. Bob Sapp vs anyone, Genki fighting way outside his weight class, there are many other examples.
It may not be sport, but it is spectacle, and I hate to say it, ring fighting is a bit of both.
Unashamedly biased for Team Superior here in Conover/HKY.
I hate that shit^
I don’t consider Toney/Slice to be THAT much of a spectacle….I mean it’s no different than Scott Smith/Cung Le really….

It's Not
but Hershel vs Consaco is. And honestly how much MMA training has both Kimbo and Toney put in their entire careers? Different then Smith vs Le.

Kelvin – what…you don’t like this? Weren’t you just pushing for Strikeforce to cater to the casual fan. Getting Canseco would do just that.
Considering the hype and how it was presented, I still think it doesn’t get much worse than this…

yea
I want them to reach the casual fan….but you don’t do it this way…..every ‘casual’ fan that would tune in to SF to see Canseco fight….wouldn’t tune back into see the next SF event without him on it…..so it doesn’t benefit them AT ALL…
