Excited about an upcoming fight? Want to make predictions, or just give people a heads-up that there are some fights on? We can do it here.

(Also a good place to complain, dicuss, and agrue about the outcomes)

WebGem · 03-12-2011, 12:33 PM

WebGem · 03-12-2011, 12:37 PM

To me this pretty much means MMA is on the decline

TrickyNicky · 03-12-2011, 12:40 PM

Wow. I wonder if he will try the separate promotion route.

Yeah then he can have a Bragging Rights PPV like WWE but it will actually have Bragging Rights.

Seriously though, I really dunno. I haven't listened to his interview yet because I've been doing something else for the past 20 mins when I found out. Did he say anything about that in there?

TrickyNicky · 03-12-2011, 12:54 PM

Its just speculation at this point. Even if he keeps them split, I wouldn't give it more than a year before it is absorbed into the UFC anyway.

**Shogun** · 03-12-2011, 12:55 PM

There goes my press passes, Zuffa won't authorize me.

Hopefully since Coker and crew are still running it, they will continue to approve me

This is unreal

the interview

TrickyNicky · 03-12-2011, 01:15 PM

Can't listen to the interview but heres a summary from someone who has...

Quote:

Some key points:
"Ive never had a bad thing to say about Scott Coker" - Dana.

!
Strikeforce will continue to run separately. Business as usual almost as if nothing has changed.
Strikeforce will honor its contract with its fighters and Showtime.
Possible to UFC fighters to go to Strikeforce. Dana didn't say if Strikeforce fighters will crossover. Fedor was specifically mentioned in this regard....he will stay in SF.
Signing of Pride was a bigger deal
Women will remain on SF roster.
Deal happened b/c UFC needed more fights.
Strikeforce's relationship with FEG will continue. Coker takes care of that...not Dana.

I'm glad it will remain its own promotion, but I still don't think it will be a lasting thing.

my point exactly.

Fedor is done. He's looked like crap anyways, So it doesnt really matter anymore. Everyone falls off at some point. some way earlier then others in this case.
