Things took a dramatic turn...Well maybe not. But a few months back , most fans were ultra-pissed by the fact that fed wasn't signed with the ufc. Today...it doesn't seem like a horrible idea afterall. He's got his hands full imo... Werdum Lashley Overeem Arlovski (possible rematch ? ) Silva Jr Henderson ( it's always a possibility )... But there's a big problem. Overeem. He still hasn't defended his ****ing belt. ( If they also sign Barnett & Kharitonov it would be perfect though. )
I think Strikeforce have slowly been growing since before Fedor. HOWEVER the arrival and Fedor and Mousasi present real challenges for any heavyweight and light heavyweight.
Strikeforces heavyweight roster is a little stronger than the UFC's right now. I don't call it a division because we'll have to wait and see if they can put events together regularly enough to warrant the name, but its clear that Overeem, Fedor, Rogers, AA, Werdum, Monson etc are better than Kongo, Mir, Cain, Hardonk etc. I think it might be time for Lesnar to move to Strikeforce if he wants to prove he can compete with the best.
They dont need Overeem to defend his belt anymore there are plenty of good fights to be made in Strikeforces heavyweight divison.
