Dana White: "Strikeforce Is A Lower Level Show"

strike Force Miami was far better than Couture vs Coleman.

 

Strikeforce have been putting on QUALITY shows for FREE. UFC need to remember they have the best heavyweight in the world and their light heavyweight is quickly trying to make a claim to best fighter in that division. Mousasi vs Henderson will have people talking. Their 185 fighter is the 2nd best 185er in the world.

Their roster is getting bigger. SF are not to be shunned.

 

UFC is garbage right now. What the hell kind of show was Couture vs Coleman? If I want to watch old dinosaurs I just pop in a Jurassic Park DVD. I sure as ain't paying for it.

Of their last 9 shows only Machida-Shogun was worthy of a main event, barely. Most events they're recycling past it legends and overhyped TUF guys as headliners. I can't think of any future stars on their way up other than Matt Hardy, Cain Velasquez. If they think they can rely on TUF fighters to sell PPVs in future they're ****ed. When guys like BJ, Anderson Silva and GSP are gone they're ****ed anyway.

Of course Dana White the **** should be worried. Strikeforce has a network behind them and if they continue looking after their fighters and attracting more of the calibre of talent they have been signing lately, it won't be too long before they have a product capable of competing with the UFC. Wouldn't it be funny if the UFC in a few years are approaching Strikeforce for a co-promotion event.

 

UFC ****ing exposed themselves at 109. How the **** can 2 of your main event fighters be cut following a loss. Not really main event material if they are one fight away from being cut. Plus Sonnen was a 5 to 1 underdog who turned it around and shocked the world.

I liked the UFC 109 card but in terms of justification for their match making they could get criticised.

SF need to snap up Arlovski, Karo, Trigg etc There are good fighters out there who should be going for cheap.

They need to make sure they don't pick up UFC leftovers.

 

Read your last line and then read the one above.:huh

 

I know. SF should snap up good fighters. Just because the UFC cuts them doesn't mean they are bad however they need to be selective so they don't develop an inferior org image or mentality. So they should probably snap up Karo but not Trigg. Alexander not Coleman etc

 

If your talking about Houston he just lost in another lower org. I think he might be hanging them up.
