there can be only one

Coker would definitely steamroll Dana but have you seen Lorenzo recently? Guy looks extremely ripped and im sure his BJJ isnt that bad. He looks more buffed up than some fighters when he is at the weigh ins every time.

No slouch? He got choked out by Princess Leia at the start of the third Star Wars movie..

^^"That fat fuck" would probably steamroll the UFC brass (i.e. White, and Fertittas.) He is no slouch. Look some shit up on him

That fat fuck will end up like Milton in "Office Space."

To be frank, this is a fair assessment of his power and responsibilities at this point. He's the GM because he runs the day-to-day operations. And he's Executive VP because he's not fully in charge anymore; anything major or strategic, like signing a new broadcast deal or co-promoting or anything that has major financial impact would have to be approved by the owners who have a major say in these kind of business decisions. He runs Strikeforce, but he reports to someone else. Dana did mention that Frank or Lorenzo was now talking with Showtime.

Let's face it, Scott just isn't the man. But then again, he was the leader of an organization who was more or less trying to be a significant MMA promotion without the wealth of resources and staff the UFC has. How many hours do you think went into planning UFC 129? A whole bunch; which is probably why there was such a gap between the previous show and the next show. Now compare the staff UFC has - i.e. a LOT - and what SF has - very few; putting on shows after show is a lot of work. They simply couldn't deliver. On top of that their contracts with the fighters were pretty weak; no exclusivity clause, because they simply knew they couldn't make their fighters fight 3-4 times a year. It was managed pretty much as well as they could have. But when you're competing against a juggernut that had a decade of development ahead of you and bankrolled by casino boss, it's hard to just expend the capital to level the playing field. Scott did what he could.

The best he can do now is carve a niche inside Zuffa so that when (or if) Strikeforce folds with the UFC roster, he can remain in the organization. Perhaps build on his Japan connections and develop relationship the UFC pretty much thinks isn't worth it. Who knows. Then again; maybe he can just retire. In the end, who cares really. It's all just business.

@ MRuss - why do they need to have someone with the title of President of SF? Dana White is President of Zuffa (and the UFC), and they could just have a general manager of SF. In fact, general management of SF might well be in Coker's new job description. I honestly don't know, but I'm not too concerned with titles.
Job responsibilities mean more than titles. If Coker was previously CEO/President of Strikeforce before the purchase, it didn't really mean much if his job responsibilities were enumerated under the "bend over and take whatever we give you up the ass" clause in his contract with Showtime/CBS.

I heard he's being demoted to fighter soon. The lowest paid employee position available.

@Mike Russell: I see what you're saying. I suspect Frank Fertita is; or whoever is in charge of terminating his employment once they fold Strikeforce. ;)

I wouldn't trust Coker running my local Denny's.

That explains stripping him of the CEO title, Noizy, but why make him VP without naming a president?

Coker's lucky if they give him any sort of golden parachute on his upcoming trip to the bottom.

Great read.

Given that Strikeforce is no longer an independent company but a fully owned subsidiary, I suspect he cannot technically be a CEO as he's no longer the head of his organization; he reports to his new Zuffa owners. It's a technicality. But obviously he's no longer fully in charge. That's just what happens with acquisitions, don't you think.

Maybe Randy is slipping into the role of SF president.

"Dangers of Drastic Weight Cutting"? I hope they balance it with an afternoon session called "Dangers of Losing Your Job When You Don't Make Weight Because Dana White Hates Guys Who Can't Fucking Make Weight." (Oh, and too bad War Machine can't make an appearance to debate the issue of steroid usage.)

Coker should be sucking Danas dick to let him keep a job in the first place

I imagine the thirty minutes sounds something like this "Steroid are bad mmkay" or Dana saying "You have to be stupid to get caught"...

But seriously this series of articles is dumb.

11:05 - 11:35 - The Dangers and Risks of Steroid Tests

What?
You expected him to remain CEO after he got bought out?

Why is this surprising?

CP is full of shit now.
