Please find where I have ever said anything that would make you call me a Lesnar nut-hugger. Good call fucktard.

Randers said perfectly. Horrible fight for the best fighter ever... put your head between a BJJ guy's legs and see what happens. LOL.

worked well for him against noguiera.
Holding out hope they still make the fedor-overeem fight? It's shitty for werdum, but it's what everyone wants to see. They gave rogers a title shot after a loss. It would really suck if fedor's next fight was against antonio silva or whatever else they have in the heavyweight division.

I actually think Carwin will beat Lesnar... ring rust is a bitch, and Carwin is a beast too.

Why the fuck would the best mma fighter in the world ever jump into a bjj's open guard.

fckn joke.

vamooo etc

This may be truer than some think imo. (And I'm not a conspiracy person, but hmmmm)

Prolly never a better time for it.

Clearly decreases. Dana must be very happy.

I was thinking it increases (as long as he doesn't retire) since they now can't make all those crazy demands. dana white is obviously happy, but he definitely still wants him in the UFC.

The group that owns Strikeforce is going to wipe it's hands clean very soon when big gate events and PPV shows are getting off the ground.

There's no scenario where that was Fedor's last fight. Save he just clicked off 25mm+ jumping into that open guard.

Ya. It happens. It happens when you are a puppet for the world's largest crime syndicate. When Strikeforce finally realize that M1 global has nothing to offer (fedor just lost/took a dive whatever) wtf is he going to do then?

He can do whatever he wants but I won't care until it is on a UFC card.



Sure, backpedal on dana for infinite money or jump into a bjj experts guard and valiantly fight to get out of the sub to no avail.

+400 is a decent price for Werdum amirite?

I know its not strikeforce but I thought this was a pretty funny pic.

I'm a fedor fan, but I don't think he's the greatest fighter in the world. I honestly think if Arlovski had any chin at all, he would have crushed Fedor. He was dominating their fight until his glass jaw got in the way. I would love to see Fedor vs Lesnar. I'm really not sure who would win that fight, but I'd pay big PPV money to see it.

The heavyweight division in the UFC is laughable at best.

My new mancrush is the same as my old mancrush, UUUUUUUUUBEREEEM WILL DESTROY ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Gotta love fight promotions. Strikeforce is spinning this into a possible PPV rematch show. lawlz.

http://mmajunkie.com/news/19710/stri...-an-option.mma

M-1 Global executive Vadim Finkelchtein said he certainly sees the advantages of an immediate rematch.

"We'll see," Finkelchtein said. "The future will show. Fabricio Werdum, this is the first fighter who managed to defeat Fedor. That's why I certainly would thing it would be a great thing to have a rematch to be able to prove that Fedor is still the best."

Coker agrees to a point, and with Werdum having already declared he's open to the contest, the Strikeforce exec believes that public interest in the fight might even be enough to drive a pay-per-view event.

"That should be a pay-per-view fight," Coker said. "[Werdum vs. Emelianenko II] is a fight fans are going to want to see. He dethroned the king."

Of course, Coker also said there was no guarantee the fight would land on pay-per-view. Strikeforce's broadcast partners at CBS might also prove interested in the bout.

"To me, [pay-per-view and CBS] are both fantastic," Coker said. "The beauty about CBS is the UFC could do five pay-per-views, and it could be one CBS broadcast in terms of viewership. The viewership [Werdum vs. Emelianenko II] could garnish, it would do 4 or 5 or 6 million viewers.

"That fight could garnish more eyeballs on it than probably any of the big fights CBS has had since it started."

But where would that leave Overeem? The champ was on hand in San Jose, Calif., to witness the proceedings, and one has to believe that had Emelianenko won, Strikeforce was prepared to announced that the Dutch slugger would face the Russian next. Now what?

Coker said to be patient � that fight and many others will all happen in good time.

"To me, Fabricio and Fedor is going to be a mega-fight that we should promote," Coker said. "I also think that Fabricio vs. Alistair, the rematch against our champion, is something Alistair is going to want and would be another big fight. I think that he fight between Fedor and Alistair should still happen, as well.

"A lot of it is going to depend on what M-1 wants to do. They will have some say."

How much say remains to be seen. M-1 Global's primary commodity, Emelianenko, just took a big drop in value. Nevertheless, Coker insists the dynamic of the relationship between the two organizations hasn't changed, and he refutes any sort of assumption that his company is now in the driver's seat in regards to the companies' partnership.

Rookie mistake by Fedor

So... Hmmmm. Should Werdum become UFCs bitch, or shop around and find a promotion where:
1. Heavyweight is the feature division.
2. Promotes the biggest single name in MMA.
3. Offers 2-4x what UFC offers per fight.
4. Offers a guaranteed number of fights.
?

Werdum played it right, and won big.

Strikeforce is already pushing for Fedor's next event so don't worry too much. Doubt the Russian Mafia lets him retire anytime soon.

LOL! Stop making stuff up. You can't back anything up you just posted with any facts. Werdum is a good fighter but not UFC good. Maybe one day he can called back up to the big show but right now he will have to settle for minor league competition.

----------------------------

Strikeforce headlines 75% of their cards with heavyweights and have Fedor, Overeem and Werdum to carry their promotion.

It is widely known that UFC underpays their fighters and Werdum obviously said fck that I'll sign with another promotion for more money.

Doubt you could come off as a bigger UFC homer.

He earned $80,000 for losing to Arlovski and he earned $50,000 for his first Strikeforce fight. Dos Santos got $125K for knocking him out and there fight was not even the headline fight. Werdum earned a $100,000 for beating Fedor and that was the main event. How is he making more money in Strikeforce? Also how is Strikeforce promoting heavyweights because they have only had a few cards that the heavyweights headlined? I hope Strikeforce survives because the competition always brings the best out in anyone but they don't pay there fighters as much as they would get in the UFC. Not really sure how the UFC underpays fighters when they pay more than any other promotion.
