Strikeforce Signs Fedor To Multi-Fight Deal, M-1 To Co-Promote

Good news. He can fight Barnett on NYE in Japan.

 

It's the beginning of an end for Strikeforce .

 

You must have missed the part where it says "STRIKEFORCE"

 

It seems Coker is all in.

 

Is the deal fully exclusive though.

 

Is he locked in exclusive?

 

It sounds like it, why would Coker sign him to a deal then let him fight on NYE...Fedor said he wanted to fight by fall so I doubt he would fight that soon. And after the roid test would Fedo even want to fight Barnett doesn't deserve a shot, not to mention in Japan he will be juiced up for sure.

 

Supposedly the GUARANTEED money was the same from Strikeforce as UFC was offering.

M-1 is co promoting

CBS deal almost in place (rumor was all CBS was waiting on was confirmation of Fedor becoming a Strikeforce fighter)

Non exclusive contract.

Good move for Fedor as the UFC either was not willing or could not offer options 2-4.

 

yeah thats better than the ufc deal imo

 

Always clinging to that bjj nutsack

 

Cos Dream is not a direct competitor to Strikeforce. Fedor fighting in Japan wouldnt effect strikeforce.

Fedor would fight Barnett if the money was good. I dont think Fedor really gives a damn about a failed drug test.

Scott Coker needs to get speaking with K-1 & Dream about co-promoting. Get Japanese talent pronto. Let K-1 have Fedor v Barnett on NYE and get some Japanese guys coming the over way.

 

I hate that it makes a mega fight with Lesnar even more improbable, but Strikeforce can still match him with a few top notch names. Rogers, Overeem, and Monson are just a viable as any UFC challengers are. Barnett may still be an option. One of the articles a poster on this forum provided a link for suggested that Barnett's failure to get a license may do less harm than having a license revoked. Barnett may be able to reapply, and get accepted in California or possibly another state.

 

Grappling in general, not just BJJ

Better than the Mediocre Kickboxer with no ground game ballbag.:bbb

 

i hope strikeforce didnt sign their life away for one fighter. competition is good and i am glad for strikeforce, now maybe they can have a heavyweight title fight more than once every two years. now is the next big heavy to go to a big promotion gonna be bobby lashley? who else is out there either fighting for a small, nothing org or a free agent?

 

co-sign on that ****. amen bro :deal :good
