    Koscheck is there too. Looks like most of AKA showed up to support their teammates.

    As much of a ***** as DW is, he doesn't prevent UFC fighters from attending other promotions. GSP has been spotted at Strikeforce shows too.

    You see UFC fighters at other shows a decent amount, vice versa as well.

    There is NOTHING Dana can do to stop UFC fighters from turning up at other events. Rampage was in Japan for K-1 Dynamite as were some other UFC fighters. First and foremost their fans just like us. Secondly they're there to support their team mates.

    It really is dumb to expect UFC fighters to pretend other organizations don't even exist. Obviously MMA fighters are going to be fans of MMA and K1 etc, so why shouldn't they go and watch? It doesn't mean they are not happy to be contracted to only one organization for their own fighting.

    UFC fighters are always at SF shows to support team mates.

    Velasuqez trains alot with Herschel. Teams in MMA are pretty much like family.

    the important thing to remember is that dana white is a douchebag

    i still think its nice coming from the strikeforce team to film velasquez & talk about him
    you would never see the ufc broadcast film & present a strikeforce champ
     
  10. This and where sf is going at the moment, most ufc fighters are respectful if not it doesn't hurt to make good bridges with sf promotion.

    Why would Dana stop Strikeforce showing his champion get a superstar reaction beyond what any of their fighters recieved? Now If I was Strikeforce I wouldn't show them in the crowd at all.

    Have to say one of the few on the UFC Roster that isn't afrade to talk good about other fighters that arnt in the UFC. Steph B. and Ken Flow should take note.

    So the UFC didn't show Jake Shields sitting with Dana White wand talk about him way before he signed? STFU. They show fighters and mention and give props to other good fighters from other organizations. Dana White himself gives props when he thinks a fighter is good. He mentions every time it comes up that he likes Nick Diaz a lot... you guys aren't being objective in your observations.

    Pretty poor troll job their Scruey.

    Why should Strikeforce give any air time to Cain Velasquez? Especially when you know he's going to get a superstar reaction bigger than the vast majority of your fighters. Is he going to fight in Strikeforce anytime soon? No. He fights for their competition and therefore they shouldn't acknowledge him.
