WHAT: The newest STRIKEFORCE mixed martial arts (MMA) stars will interact with the media at an introductory press conference on Saturday in San Jose, Calif., just hours before the STRIKEFORCE: Evolution mixed martial arts (MMA) fight card on Saturday, Dec. 19, at HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif., live on SHOWTIME® (10 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on West Coast).
Henderson, the only fighter in history to simultaneously hold titles in two different weight classes – the welterweight (183 pounds) and light heavyweight (205 pounds) crowns — with a major MMA promotion – PRIDE Fighting Championships – will enter the STRIKEFORCE cage for the first time after earning “Knockout of the Night” honors with his stunning second-round (3:20) KO of Michael “The Count” Bisping at UFC 100 in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 11, 2009.
Noons will make his long-awaited return to the cage after a brief hiatus to pursue a professional boxing career. Noons’ STRIKEFORCE debut will be his first MMA start since June 14, 2008, when he reeled off his third consecutive win by demolishing Yves Edwards with a series of punches and elbows just 48 seconds into their meeting at Honolulu, Hawaii’s Neil S. Blaisdell Arena.
