UFC to buy Strikeforce

[mattboxingfan]

This would be much better if they just merge into the UFC they would just have to put on a lot more fight cards. Wont this just make it harder for the fighters who want to go into the UFC from strikeforce to do so? So we wont get to see some of the fights we want to. I want Hendo and Daley back...

From what I've rtead Hendo is open to coming back, but Daley is utterly pissed and is considering pulling out of the Diaz fight. I prefer Strikeforce, I just think they have fighters that are more open to the standup, and being a massive boxing fan that is what I look for. The likes of Diaz/Daley/Fedor/Hendo and even someone like Melendez always try and close the show with a stoppage. I just hope it doesn't become too UFC like, because like Therealremi said, in my eyes almost everything about the way Strikeforce present a show is better. By this what I mean is that Strikeforce seems to lead towards a boxing presentation, where as UFC is more like WWE.


Just a couple of things to add. Scott Coker has signed a deal with Zuffa that will keep him on with Strikeforce.

Dana says the entire Strikeforce roster will be kept on, with contracts honoured.

Dana also says some UFC guys could end up in Strikeforce.
