The same old argument gets trotted out about them not punching properly and not being able to last with a boxer.

Lets see how well Toney does , they will give him someone with an ego who wants to punch so he looks good, then they will have to put him in with someone like Lesnar...........now that might be a fun night.

Different strokes I suppose, I will always be a boxing fan first off, but that said I like the fact they don't write you off for one loss and like said previously they test you early.

I do wonder how long they can last though with just one Champ per weight, will they get like boxing and have to have seperate organisations to cope with the growing amount of MMA fighters and demand for more shows.

As for the gay comments
They already do mate. Strikeforce have their own world champs and there are other minor organisations out there too.

The UFC have been pretty aggressive buying up the other organisations, Pride, and now they seem to have control over WEC.

Strikeforce is definitely growing though. They have Fedor in their heavyweight ranks so can lay claim to have the real man at that weight class. Meanwhile Jake Shields completely dominated Dan Henderson to retain his middleweight title last month.

Their world champs aren't as good as their UFC counterparts in the main, although Shields would make a decent opponent for Silva.
Excellent point on UFC agressive marketing , the only real other organisation I had really heard of was Pride, now you've just given more options to look out for downloading Bilbo !!

All they need to do is have Fedor whack out Lesnar and they can claim the big title.Then they would probably be on the map more......until UFC buy them out !
