Because champ vs. champ is an inherint draw, even if people don’t know the guys involved, and the Caeser Gracie revenge factor could be good. On the other hand, Henderson isn’t a proven draw, and hasn’t been on TV for almost eight months, and despite the fan-fare Diaz hasn’t exactly proven to be a ratings monster either.

I’d stick that fight in the category as “Not that great, but good enough for Strikeforce”. I’d mark out for a Hendo vs Jacare fight, but let’s face it: nobody stateside has a clue who he is.

but you forget…nobody knows who SF’s champions are(casual fans wise)…and Strikeforce isn’t very good at promoting their events.
