Come on. Do you know how long I've been hearing about this? First it was Affliction and then it's somebody else. No, I don't worry about Strikeforce. Strikeforce is a lower-level show where guys who aren't in the UFC can go and make some money. It's never going to be anything more than that, ever."
well in a way he is right but what he fails to realize is that you don't need the best guys to have great fights. plenty of top fighters have shitty fights in the UFC. i thought it was a great show(minus the walker fight). how many times is the main event on a UFC card the fight of the night? not often to my knowledge.
Dana should spend more money bringing some of these SF fighters to the UFC instead of keep waisting it on so many poor TUF fighters who don't even belong on TV.
Irrelevant. In the context of "competition" to UFC place, it is a lower level show. There were a few good fighters in Affliction that UFC fighters went to see, but Affliction failed. Strikeforce won't, because it's learned from other orgs mistakes, but it's nowhere near the UFC in terms of size or impact.
Miami was awesome IMO. no it does not have the top divisions in the world, but it has some great fighters and some appealing matchups.
Strikeforce is backed by a solid propmotion company, they had been around for longer the UFC, and it seems that they do know how to run a business. Yeah, Dana is worried.
wherever the best fighters are is where the fans will go. Strikeforce is good but UFC is still on top. On a different subject, MMA is still young. They should get together and implement some sort of matchmaking system where the fighters next fights are not made based on who the more popular fighters are but actually based on the results of their previous fights.
