UFC buys Strikeforce

now if dana really wanted for cain vs alistar to happen it could or move fedor to ufc and have him fight brock.

There is no way Dana can resist having nick diaz, overeem and fedor in the UFC. I am sure he is gonna transfer "some" fighters to UFC but leave the majority in strikeforce. Like Mayhem, jacare, robbie, they are stuck there IMO.

Oh and he is gonna give Dan Henderson a lolipop and a UFC T-shirt for his contract renewal bawahahaha :D

yep....this is absolutely huge.....

This is the best thing that could have possibly happened in MMA.
Reasons "taking up to two years to come to fruition":
1. In two years the Showtime contract will NOT be renewed.
2. All Strikeforce fighters excluding Semtex, Fedor and Barnett w...ill be adsorbed.
3. No more chick fights. EVER!
4. Super fights! Example... Alestar vs Cain.
5. In two years the retarded fat tongued Strikeforce announcers will be out of jobs.
6. NICK DIAZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7. NICK DIAZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8. NICK DIAZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9. DIAZ vs GSP
10. New UFC welterweight Champ NICK DIAZ!

I thought the same thing.

Don't forget about Roger Gracie.

Why is this good for MMA? Think carefully. I've rolled with more than one "chick" who I'd lay very good money on whipping your ass. Plus a few more who frequent this board that I haven't rolled with. Kim Ferguson comes to mind. As does Gabby Bella. I'd put a sizable sum on Ashley Kennedy too.

i wonder if this will cause many problems amongst fighters.....paycuts? will elbow strikes be put back in on the ground? rogan said that may be a cool rule to watch for strategy and watching fights continue without being stopped. nowhere for big fighters to go if their pissed at dana i think regardless if he says "business as usual".

I'm disgusted at this news , there needs to be other mma besides ufc . all this merger and takeover stuff is like gangsterism all over again i hate it
