Holy poop on a stick.

Strikeforce always put on fun shows and they were a cheap ticket. I'll be sad to see them go.

I guess Paul Daley and a few others on Dana's shitlist will be looking for work.

I wonder if Hendo or Fedor(if he doesn't retire) are on this list.

bigfoots size and grappling ability make a serious contender for cain. overeems size, striking, and grappling make him a threat as well.

i don't think gsp will move up anymore with diaz right there. assuminh he beats daley.

fedor retires and gets to go out with some class.

barnett is black listed for sure espically after telling dana white he'd "piss in his mouth" for a drug test. daley maybe comes back, hendo and frank for sure would come back. i hope they dump ranallo.

hoping they dump the womens divisions but carano is bank.

we'll just have to wait and see. watching ufc shows all the time gets stale though. my intrest in mma will probably drop off somewhat unless i start betting on it again. small bets.

Does this mess up the HW tourney?
Was looking forward to the rest of that.

Maybe we can see Overeem have a really fight soon

i heard that at least for now they will be run as separate brands. but i think it will only be a matter of time before strikeforce is absorbed like pride and wec were. daley is already spouting off saying that his fight with diaz may now not happen because he's pissed at white and doesn't want to put any money in his pockets. henderson is safe as he still has a decent relationship with ufc. fedor will probably go away as white will not deal with those kgb rejects known as m-1 global that have basically ruined fedor's career since his pride days. the women's divisions could be history too as dana said he will never put womens fights on t.v. for sure gina carano is done as strikeforce was basically using her as the hot chick who people want to look at but can't fight worth shit. dana doesn't go for that as evidenced by kimbo. the guy could draw but couldn't fight so he was cut.

Finally, the MMA monopoly is completed. IPO next?

Dana White is one lucky dude. He and his partners bought the UFC in 2001 for just over $ 2 Million and now the market value of the whole MMA is over a US$ BILLION. Talk about ROI.

Yup..must be nice to have a monopoly on one of the fastest growing sports in recent history.

Add this to the "how to make your fortune thread."

Time for UFC's XYIENCE Energy Drink to capitalize on this strength and improve distribution and market share both internationally and in the United States in order to maximize profitability and give market leaders Red Bull and Rockstar a run for their money.
