UFC purchases Strikeforce

[Luke]

If I had my choice I'd take Miletich,Bas and Florian

[Mr. IWS]

I actually don't mind Goldie, and I like Rogan. But the old Pride announcers had some good chemistry IMO, those niggas would crack me up once in a while.

[Luke]

I think one of the things I am most impressed with is everyone's ability to keep their mouths shut. I mean, we didn't hear rumors about this or anything.

I actually heard about this a month ago but didnt post anything because I knew no one would believe me

[Luke]

It's rumored that Scott Coker made an estimated $15,000,000 - $20,000,000 on the Strikeforce buyout

If ZUFFA lets Strikeforce die and handpicks fighters from their roster, women's MMA is essentially finished. Dana White has no intention on accepting women into the UFC.

A. That's a shitload of money. It must be wonderful to reach a point in your life where you only continue to work because you want to.

B. Dana said in an interview the other day that the only reason there are no women's divisions in the UFC are because there aren't enough top female fighters out there. I don't necessarily agree, but in any case, I really hope they figure something out with this. And if not, I hope Bellator capitalizes and becomes THE new place for women's MMA. I for damn sure don't want to see Cyborg or Miesha Tate headlining a Shark Fights card. They deserve better.

[Mr. IWS]

I am officially Jelly of Scott Coker.

Yeah that is a shit load of money for only a few years of work. That doesnt even count the money he made off sponors and events

Most people laughed at Coker and Strikeforce now Coker's laughing all the way to the bank

Coker has been in the fight game longer than the UFC guys I think. He just started getting big the last few years. I always liked the guy, so I'm glad to see him get paid, and still get to do what he loves.

It would be fuckin epic to have a big card like, right around Super Bowl weekend, with the strikeforce guys vs the UFC guys. I would probably consider renting it.

Yeah, I think he's been with Strikeforce since the beginning, which was 1985 if I remember correctly.

Remember that they were a kickboxing promotion long before they started doing MMA.

[Luke]

I meant he has only been in the MMA business a few years, I doubt the UFC would have bought Strikeforce if they were still a kickingboxing org

In todays conference call, Lorenzo says they'll continue to use the Strikeforce cage and the will now use unified rules which means elbows on the ground will now be legal.
