See that sinking boat? With zero wind in its sails, it’s the S.S. Jose Canseco appears to be going under. The fight Canseco wants against Herschel Walker is losing steam by the day. One wonders what Canseco can do to force the collective hands of Walker and Strikeforce. Maybe this new website — cansecovswalker.com– featuring Canseco’s [...] While lots of us are hoping a James Toney-Kimbo Slice fight is made for Ultimate Fight Night 22, there’s one guy who’s rooting against it.

Since this past March, the lightweight division remains the only weight class in which the two Zuffa, LLC-owned promotions share a common division. Why the overlap? In a recent interview with MMAjunkie.com Radio, Shelby said the [...] The quest continues for a fight against Herschel Walker. Strikeforce officials have repeatedly said they’re not interested in bringing Jose Canseco into the fold and they’ve also reiterated there’s been no sitdown or negotiations. By looking at this photo, we know they broke bread. That is Canseco pictured (on the left) speaking with Strikeforce matchmaker Rich [...] Props: Sportsnet.ca Quoteworthy: “We’ve spoken with Chael on many occasions and have the utmost respect for him. He’s never really come across in this manner, and it’s obvious he’s just drumming up hype in hopes to get a bout with Anderson.
