The problem here is that even with the cross promotion, they STILL are not even pursuing the truly great cross promotion fight out there right now in Alvarez vs Melendez. It's cool that they send Diaz and Mayhem to murder Sakurai and Sakuraba and all but the one matchup that really counts is being totally ignored.

I don't begrudge them the opportunity, but even guys that say they like it, don't respect it.

While a lot of guys undoubtedly feel that way, it's not how I feel. I think Cyborg's a great MT striker, Tate, Ward, and Modafferi are great grapplers, Fujii is a great grappler, Frausto is a pretty good kickboxer, Kaufman is good all-around, Damm is good all-around. . .

And I know I am not alone.

Also, I don't think the level is very high because the pool of fighters is sooo shallow. There MIGHT be 2 viable fighters in each weight class.

I would agree that the situation is a lot different than the male sector, but it's not as dire as all that.

135 is probably the most stacked, with Coenen, Kaufman, Bayszler, LaRosa, Modafferi, Tate, Akano, and Porto.

7. CEO Scott Coker

With tremendous business acumen and a deep roots in the martial arts world, Scott Coker (Center) is, perhaps, MMA's greatest business leader.

Srsly?

The new EA Sports video game, which is the first MMA title offered by the world’s leading sports video game publisher, features the Strikeforce cage, Strikeforce fighters and Strikeforce production.

From graphics to game play, the game is as true to real life as possible, not to mention a fantastic tutorial for new fans seeking an education in the sport.

Fans see Strikeforce as the more exciting, thrilling, cutting-edge and alternative MMA company, without all of the promoter-driven, classless hype and drama.

That game was a cultural disaster from what I read. It sold about 30 copies.


I'm not gonna even mention that Cung Le propaganda. Who wrote this at bleacher report? Coker?
