Despite past experience, 50-fight veteran Monson values Strikeforce chance | MMAjunkie.com

Quote:
DALLAS – When 40-year-old Jeff Monson (42-11 MMA, 0-0 SF) makes his Strikeforce debut at Saturday night's "Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum" event, it won't exactly be a new experience.

The near-14-year veteran has more than 50 fights to his credit, including a failed bid for the UFC's heavyweight title back in 2006.

Nevertheless, Monson admits his bout with undefeated prospect Daniel Cormier (7-0 MMA, 4-0 SF) will be special, and he knows his future may hinge on a positive result.

"I've fought all over the world, but Strikeforce and the UFC are obviously the biggest promotions in the world," Monson told MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps | MMAjunkie.com). "You want to fight the best, and this is where it happens.

"It's kind of weird coming back from a fight or something like that and get on the airplane and someone goes, 'Oh, Jeff Monson. When are you going to fight again?' I go, 'Oh, I fought last night.' If you're not on TV, you've got to be a really hardcore fan to know. I'm excited to be here. This is a great opportunity for me. I just have to perform."
