It's not like 'F Strikeforce beat me out

An offensive coordinator on the field, Manning is now a brand name that could finish as the greatest quarterback in the history of the NFL.. led many hedge funds to flee the two largest prime brokers, Morgan Stanley and Goldman, for the perceived safety of the universal banks," said BersteinResearch analyst Brad Hintz in a note.Prime brokers make money by charging hedge funds fees for providing financing for trading and settlement of trades.Credit Suisse (CSGN.VX), whose operations include a large wealth management unit as well as prime broking, saw balances in its prime brokerage unit grow 50-60 percent last year compared with 2007, a source familiar with the business said.Roy Martins, the bank's head of international prime services, said: "There was a peak in terms of business in September and October. There are a lot of clients out there with business models that aren't robust enough," said Martins at Credit Suisse.(Additional reporting by Douwe Miedema; Editing by David Cowell). Strikeforce and its growing roster of world class talent will offer me many exciting fights and has the ability to bring many new fans from all around the world to mixed martial arts.I am grateful to Scott Coker for the opportunity to help make this happen and for treating me with the utmost respect throughout our negotiations. I’d also like to thank Dana and the UFC for the opportunities they provided me and I wish them ongoing success. I’ll continue to watch their events and I hope they’ll tune in to my fights in Strikeforce. After all, I’m a true fan of our fantastic sport and would love only to see MMA continue to grow." In response to Henderson’s decision, Dana White had his own announcement about the situation:"He's happy, but the reality is that I pushed him into signing that deal.

I told people over the weekend that he'd sign within the next week I wanted him to s or get off the pot. He was in this limbo forever, and he needed more motivation to make a decision. Do you think that there's any guy we can't get that I want Other than Fedor So far, he's been the one guy we can't get But everyone else that we've wanted, we got If I wanted Dan Henderson, I could've signed him For the money he wanted, he's not worth it. He's not a big pay-per-view star, he's not a big attraction, and he's not going to sell out arenas. He wants way too much and he doesn't bring anything to the table Here's the reality: If I wanted him, he'd be in the UFC.

It's not like, 'F, Strikeforce beat me out.' He's been a free agent for a long time. If I wanted him, I would have signed him by now." We do not know the details about Henderson’s negotiations with the UFC, but it seems that White didn’t think he was worth it. I wonder how much money Henderson was signed for in this contract Either way, he is still a top middleweight and light-heavyweight fighter and will make a great addition to Strikeforce.Scott Coker also had a comment about his new acquisition:"Well, I don't want to get into the whole Dana White thing. All I can say is, how often does a guy like Dan Henderson become available He's a main event fighter. Main event fighters are few and far between, and when you get a guy like Dan, who can contend for titles in two weight classes, it's a good day for Strikeforce. Dan said he'd let me know after Christmas what weight class he wants to start in. He and Gegard is a natural fight and he against Jake Shields for our middleweight title is a fight he would want He would like to fight in both weight classes.
