zuffa is sending sf down the tube they keep it so showtime won't sign on with another mma company and they have a contract. American fans love stand up fighting everytime I show a friend k-1 they love it. SF started out as a kickboxing league why not send it back to that. I believe if zuffa machine got behind this it would blow up. Zuffa can sign American Kickboxers, some world talent, former ufc stars with good stand up, some boxers, and also send fighters back and forth from ufc to the stand up league fighters that need a boost (rampage, vera, alves, dan hardy, leben, stann, kongo, hunt and barry eventually) also ufc could take the top sf guys and leave some guys with good stand up behind paul daley, smith, kj noons, kyle first signing to sign badr hari have fight camp 360 series on him and whoever his first opponent is or have a fight camp 360 new fighter every episode. If they marketed hari right he could be huge in the USA MMA fighters too compete rampage mighty mo kongo vera leben kj noons paul daley dan hardy gilbert yvel houston alexander marcus davis melvin guilard ben rothwell big timmy arloski pat barry eventually hunt eventually machida eventually alves nick diaz send him back and forth sergie buentello todd duffe brian stann kickboxers hari erol zimmerman jlb manhoef carter williams some americans ben edwards basically any big time guys they can get hopefully saki some k-1 max guys boxers Im sure james toney and mayorga will be up for it kimbo:hat bobby gunn K-1 is dying this would be huge even if they had some events overseas zuffa could own the mma and kickboxing world 1st card Main events 5x3 minute rounds other 3x3 hari vs yvel nice warm up match for hari for american fans rampage vs toney would sell tickets alot of talking toney will take any fight erol zimmerman vs saki paul daley vs hardy Jermome le banner vs big timmy sergie vs ben edwards mighty mo vs sefo manhoef vs leben or alexander
I really like this idea. Hasn't Badr turned over to boxing though. Also I don't see Dana &co ever going for it, not matter how immense it would be.
great idea. UFC are only going to run Strikeforce into the ground. great for combat sports in general
I still think it doesn't help to have a lesser MMA promotion, but considering UFC are the only ones on the market anyway, everyone's only going to sign to them as it is, so this'd be a good idea. UFC should really buy K-1. I have no idea why they don't.
Can't see any MMA fighters making the switch. Zuffa running a kickboxing promotion? Wouldn't happen. Kimbo Vs Badr Hari as the first main event
StrikeForce was a kickboxing league and was virtually unknown to the masses Becomes an MMA league and grows to the #2 league in the US and probably the world And now you want it to regress back to its roots Yea this idea makes a lot of sense And K1 sucks bro Sloppy and boring as hell
Great idea but yeah dana is a wanker and wont do it.. Even if it sold well and produced great fights.
