Bennett out at Strikeforce; Heun vs. Noons set for June 16 in Los Angeles (MMAJunkie.com)

Strikeforce officials are refusing to comment, although they have said definitively that it is not due to injury. We can most likely also scratch off any  legal reasons or pending Commission inquiries, as either would have leaked by now.

Bennett is known to have tried out for Season 12 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” which is set to begin production within the next week.

Coincidence?

Although it may be irresponsible to speculate, there are a lot of coincidences and circumstances that point to this being a possibility.
