    It sounds like it, why would Coker sign him to a deal then let him fight on NYE...Fedor said he wanted to fight by fall so I doubt he would fight that soon. And after the roid test would Fedo even want to fight Barnett doesn't deserve a shot, not to mention in Japan he will be juiced up for sure.

    Supposedly the GUARANTEED money was the same from Strikeforce as UFC was offering.

    M-1 is co promoting

    CBS deal almost in place (rumor was all CBS was waiting on was confirmation of Fedor becoming a Strikeforce fighter)

    Non exclusive contract.

    Good move for Fedor as the UFC either was not willing or could not offer options 2-4.

    Cos Dream is not a direct competitor to Strikeforce. Fedor fighting in Japan wouldnt effect strikeforce.

    Fedor would fight Barnett if the money was good. I dont think Fedor really gives a damn about a failed drug test.

    Scott Coker needs to get speaking with K-1 & Dream about co-promoting. Get Japanese talent pronto. Let K-1 have Fedor v Barnett on NYE and get some Japanese guys coming the over way.

    I hate that it makes a mega fight with Lesnar even more improbable, but Strikeforce can still match him with a few top notch names. Rogers, Overeem, and Monson are just a viable as any UFC challengers are. Barnett may still be an option. One of the articles a poster on this forum provided a link for suggested that Barnett's failure to get a license may do less harm than having a license revoked. Barnett may be able to reapply, and get accepted in California or possibly another state.

    i hope strikeforce didnt sign their life away for one fighter. competition is good and i am glad for strikeforce, now maybe they can have a heavyweight title fight more than once every two years. now is the next big heavy to go to a big promotion gonna be bobby lashley? who else is out there either fighting for a small, nothing org or a free agent?
