Arlovski has signed a multi fight deal with Strikeforce. He is expected to fight Antonio 'Bigfoot' Silva in May. http://mmajunkie.com/news/18132/and...ce-meets-antonio-silva-may-15-in-st-louis.mma Alistar Overeem has said he is fighting Brett Rodgers at the May Strikeforce event. At last, Overeem will fight a decent heavyweight. The May 15th Strikeforce event looks like it could be a good one, with 2 solid heavyweight fights looking likely. http://mmajunkie.com/news/18133/cha...ay-15-strikeforce-fight-with-brett-rogers.mma Fedor might be out of the CBS card but Aoki vs Melendez could be on. :happy http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=10867&zoneid=13
According to wiki the May 15th card could feature Rogers-Overeem, Arlovski-Silva, Fedor-Werdum and Miletich-Shamrock. Nice card right there.
Don't count on Shamrock-Militich or Fedor-Werdum. It depends on how Finkel deals with his latest debacle.
M1 wants to renegotiate and won't let Fedor fight unless he get's a better contract. M1 and Strikeforce arn't on good terms now and doesn't look like Fedor will be fighting there anymore. Who in the **** wants to work with M1? I wonder if Coker is regretting working with Finkel now?
Besides Barnett who could Fedor possibly fight outside of the UFC or Strikeforce? Every good heavyweight name of note is with those two companies.
About time Arlovski signed. Next, they should sign Barnett and Karo. It's very important they develop their own talent though. Woodley as champ would be better than Diaz who ultimately should be considered a UFC reject.
Well to be fair Diaz left the UFC on his own. Yes he was released after losing 3 close decisons to Riggs, Sanchez and Sherk but he rebounded by winning a fight in California then came back to the UFC and defeated Josh Neer and Gleison Tibau pretty dam easily. Then thats when he decided to fight for the Gracie fights but that never happened so he went to Pride. Apparently he was happy with the UFC. Plus back then he was 22-23 hes developed alot more since then IMO. Would Diaz beat GSP ? Very unlikely but hes not a reject by any means. Now lets say Jardine where to be cut right now then show up and beat a tough guy then destroy Mousasi for the 205 pound Championship that would be bad even though I like Jardine.
