AvengerdDub Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I came across an interesting article just now doing my daily rounds of the mma news sites: http://mmajunkie.com/news/18399/white-says-april-17-show-was-never-planned-guarantees-strikeforces-demise.mma Admits Coker isn't a target, but his promotion Strikeforce seems to be getting to Dana more and more recently.

uaquin Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Interesting article for sure. Dana knows he NEEDS the medium size regional promotions. Thats where the talent comes from. Other than say Amir Sodallah, most UFC fights don't just appear at 0-0 ready to kick ****. Orgs like Ring of Fire, or MFC up here in Canada I'm sure get help from the UFC in one way or another. But, Dana is at the end of the day a business man. I don't think he will tolerate anyone approaching the following of the UFC in North America. I can see his point from a business prospective even if as a fan I don't know that I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaki_man Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 DW is feeling the competition that's for sure. April 17 gonna dominate ratings and Fedor isn't even there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V_Neck Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 nice article, but the UFC would have to do a lot more than put on a fight night in order to pull me away from watching Henderson vs. Shields. In the end though I think that all the mma organizations end up helping each other whether they want to or not because they all serve to create new mma fans. As long as Strike Force continues to be smart with its money I think it will continue to grow just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BESERKER Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 (SF > April 17 & May 15) ... the UFC has a weak hw division, that is the nightmare for White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openeye Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 White's sense of business is in the right place, and the dude has an awesome 6th sense for stuff like this. Still, no real promoter can go around saying that sucks and will die. It's purely unprofessional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvengerdDub Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 (SF > April 17 & May 15) ... the UFC has a weak hw division' date=' that is the nightmare for White[/quote'] I'd say the HW division is one of the UFC's most interesting right now. With all the Lesnar, Mir, Carwin, JDS, Cain, Nog, Struve, Nelson, Cro Cop, Yvel, etc. attention everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
