    Apparently the Melendez/Aoki match will be for the Strikeforce title but not for the WAMMA/Dream title.

    Three title fights? The CBS show is shaping up nicely.

    All they need to do is fill out that card and you've got one that is worthy of PPV.

    I didn't know posters could be worse than the UFC ones.

    I'm really excited for both of these cards. I hope Strikeforce can stay afloat. They've got some interesting talent.

    Overeem vs. Rogers is now a title fight.

    Why is Rogers getting a title shot ahead of the man who beat him? Because Strikeforce isn't the UFC and they aren't in control of their own shit.

    the Overeem/Rogers scrap is still a good fight but SF is a fucking gong show right now. Getting into business with M-1 seems to have that effect.

    :lol:

    Maybe the reports that Fedor doesn't want the SF belt and is looking for a way out is, true?

    There is no other reasonable explanation. Unless...Fedor is ducking Overeem !?

    Overeem kind of sucks... no reason to duck him.

    I don't think Strikeforce has a long future in front of them. They kind of put all their eggs into Fedor's basket.

    Antwain Britt will fight on the April card. Possible opponents: Aaron Rosa, Rafael Feijao.

    Cung Le may fight on the May card. A Benji Radach-type opponent is expected.

    In their continued effort to fuck with Strikeforce as much as possible, M-1 have now targeted June as a return date for Emelianenko. So now instead of an April and a May show, they will probably have to do an April and a June show.

    Cung Le really wants to rematch Scott Smith.

    Kevin Randleman vs. Roger Gracie possible for the May show. If not Randleman, possibly Sokoudjou. Why not a heavyweight? Jeff Monson or someone could be had.

    Overeem vs. Rogers and Arlovski vs. Silva confirmed. Emelianenko vs. Werdum anything but.
