Scott Coker says there are no plans to crown new champions in the heavyweight and light heavyweight divisions

Strikeforce CEO, Scott Coker has revealed that the promotion has no plans to crown new champions in either the heavyweight or light heavyweight divisions after stripping one champion of his title and seeing another walk out the front door.
Speaking during tonight’s press conference, Coker said:

“It just hasn’t been determined yet. And right now, that’s position of the company: The winner of the tournament won’t be crowned the champion.”

 

Coker also spoke about the situation concerning the light heavyweight title now that current champion, Dan Henderson seems to be on his bike back to the UFC.

“We have some really great 205-pound matchups coming up. When the timing is right, we’ll let everybody know (what we’re going to do).”

With the California based promotion likely to be wrapping up at some point next year after the omission from UFC co-owner, Lorenzo Fertitta that there will be a major meeting in February to decide it’s direction, you would be excused for thinking we may have seen the last champion crowned in these two divisions.
