Fedor signs multifight MMA deal with Strikeforce
#3
Stardust Wrote:So, we will not see a fight with Brock anytime soon. Two questions to the MMA brethren:

1. With no Fedor, who becomes a "big" fight for UFC against Brock? Is there a big name in the wings that would make people buy the next fight with Brock?

2. Does Fedor's signing with Strikeforce make them a legitimate competitor to UFC? Can Strikeforce leverage this into a situation that allows them to now compete for PPV buys, or even puts them into a position to have UFC pay a huge sum of money to buy the Strikeforce promotion?
Strikeforce is still not competition for the UFC. Like Tito Ortiz said the UFC has over 90% of the world's toughest fighters. Who is Fedor gonna fight in these other leagues? Right now Fedor would be in the UFC had it not been for his manager who wanted 50% of the UFC in order to let Fedor fight there. He wanted UFC to combine with his M-1 Global, which has considerably less value than the UFC. That is absolutely crazy. Also if Fedor really wanted to fight in the UFC he could have stopped his manager from making such a demand. Dana White of the UFC was giving Fedor all he wanted. More money, more fights, he would be able to wear M-1 Global apparel in his fights.

Strikeforce will fail. Give it time.
