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.
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.
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 !?
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.
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.
