Scott Coker should start his own t-shirt company. I hear successful “big money” fight promoting and men’s fashion design go hand in hand. Pyrotechnic explosions, Rockstar, and chinese dragons fighting skeleton warriors in a forest of razor wire and dead trees under the full moon light. Throw in some Megadeth, trade Gus Johnson for Donald Trump and we’re good to go.

if anything it would be dana who doesnt take the bet, much more to lose. Its only a matter of time until SF goes under

@ ReX13

You are not funny

Please Mr. Coker, tell me another bedtime story! Except for this time tell it with the part where the white rabbit meets the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus saves Christmas from the evil clutches of Christmas-hating liberal democrats and Josh Barnett.

(Side Note: I would actually pay to watch Josh Barnett fight Santa Claus, as long as all drug testing procedures are off so Santa doesn’t have to cycle off the HGH.)

A Strikeforce Royal Rumble would be excellent!!

@El Famous Burrito

grizzly Adams did have a beard!

Not so sure coker would be the gambler here. Its like betting your weeks wages vs. My house

If this was 5 years ago then SF has the best HW division but times change. They should have a super fight matching up UFC HW’s vs SF HW’s and whichever promotion has the most wins inherits the other company. Put your money where your mouth is Coker.

I may catch some flack for this but since we’re on the subject of Frank Mir I was actually interested to see if he could drop all the way down to LHW and take a few fights there. He would probably cut down from about 220 or so and would be a big LHW. I still think there could be some interesting match ups there and just for S&G’s throw in a fight against Lil’ Nog for the storyline aspect. Maybe this is more from a fight fan stand point rather than a money making stand point but I’d enjoy it.

My biggest issue with the new Mir is this:

He came in as a jitz guy, and that is his major advantage against most of the division.

Since the first Brock fight I can recall one serious submission attempt, and I barely count that because all he did was grab onto a rocked Kongo in a fight that was already over.

Agreed…. and chin stricks will never be allowed, they are the equvalent of dim mok.

I am falling off the Mir wagon, he needs to decide the type of HW he wants to be and stay there. Personally i like Mir at a lean 255, in the most non-gay way it can be said, like assume strippers on poles in the background and a Beer water fountain in the corner surrounded by mounted animal heads i killed with my teeth non-gay.

Big foot for sure, in fact I have him at number one if they ever allow chin strikes.

I’m not really sure about the 5 spot in the UFC as there isn’t a clear choice…but I just can’t buy into the Mir hype. Maybe its just that last fight….

“He’s not going to be back this year because the schedule is already full.”

I’m so sure Coker turned around and said to M-1 Global, “Sorry guys, we’re too packed to have Fedor on a card for the rest of the year, call me in a few months and I’ll see if there’s a spot.”

@ North, who would you have round out the last spot on either promo then?

SF, Big foot??
UFC, Big Country? Nog? Maybe big country, think Nog is bout done.

@Smitty: I’ll give SF credit when they start making fights instead of just signing guys who do jack shit. They signed Kharitonov months ago, and nothing. Signed Barnett, nothing.

Their strongest division by far is HW, but since June the only HW they had fight was Bobby Lashley, and he lost. They’ve got a who’s who of fighters who aren’t fighting. If they want to be taken seriously, book some fucking fights.

Coming out and announcing that you might have an announcement in 4 weeks is nothing. It’s inept. Put some fights together, assholes.

Now a word from my bright side: Strikeforce HW GP? It’s so crazy it just might work. If it happens, mark my words, Daniel Cormier wins.

Fedor 1st rd TKO via cookie dough choke.

I don’t get the whole “Barnett single-handedly took down an organization” argument.” He definitly didn’t do affliction any favors but the writing was pretty well on the wall well before his electric piss (boogy woogy woogy woogy). Isn’t that argument DFW fodder any-damn-way? I’m still interested to see him get in a ring and actually fight and I agree that he needs a couple “tuner” fights to see exactly where he is. But if he’s where he was or even near, I think he could turn some heads, if not lab results, in Strikeforce.

I’m not really sure Mir or Arlovski are top 5 in anything except amount of money spent on hair product.

ninja, i am really curious how you match that up where SF wins all 5. hell i can’t see 3.

obviously the weakest oppenents on the UFC side are Mir and JDS, but do not see Barnett or Arlovski beating either. Lesner and Carwin would steam roll any of them… yes i include Fedor, Velazquez would be favored and even money with Fedor. And Overeem avoids wrestlers, because he hates to leave his Kick boxing stance and defend takedowns so he aint matching with Les, car, vel.

Seriously trying to see 5 wins or even more than 2. Not hating.

Coker told us nothing here that he hasn’t already said. And it was funny to hear him say how he could have pre-empted Overeem from fighting in K-1 and made him come and fight for them if he wanted, when he spent nearly 2 years complaining about how he couldn’t control Overeem and make him come back and defend his belt. I like Coker, but his masters at CBS/Showtime call the shots. He is just another, very bloated, figurehead.

And @ Fedor Penn – co-promotion and open contracts are the reason why Overeem is tied up. No thanks. It will hurt the sport in the long run.

Everyone just co-promote with each other already!

I think the HW divisions of the two are pretty even.

Fedor, Barnett, Arlovski, Overeem, Werdum.

Lesnar, Velasquez, JDS, Carwin, Mir.

You could match those ten up in such a way that either organization wins all five.

Some of you haters need to take Dana’s beans and frank outta your mouth, and give props where props are due. I’ve been a UFC fan since before the “F” brothers and Dana took over, and it’s no secret that they’re the best promotion out there. However, Strikeforce has been putting on some decent shows, and they do have a nice stable of fighters. Just because some of them couldn’t cut it in the UFC doesn’t mean people don’t want to see them fight. And say what you want, but there are still people that would watch a Josh Barnett fight. Especially the one against Fedor if it ever came about. You losers are the same big mouths that were saying Strikeforce wouldn’t last this long. MMA is MMA. If you’re a fan, you’d watch a good fight no matter what promotion is putting it on. Not hate on fighters because Dana doesn’t like em.

Fedor, Coker, and Dana…this story is well past the legal limit of chubby bald guys.

Get off Dana White’s balls and stop repeating him

I say give Barnett fights against Rogers and Arlovski as a few “test the waters” or warm up fights and if he proves himself without juicing then step it up with the Fedor fight. I’d love to see him fight Overeem but he is the champ and I’m always an advocate for fighters earning their shot at the title not just getting one because of their name and what they did in other promotions.

“Josh Barnett said it best. The competition is here. He signed with us because he wants to fight all those guys.”

Finally unrefutable proof Steroids make you stupid. I am convinced now Coker is juicing too.

Yeah, right. And Grizzly Adams had a beard.

Mike Russell Says:

“Ariel H tweeted yesterday that Gus isn’t announcing Saturday night’s show.”

Sounds like “score one for the GusBuster” to me.

@VD_NOW

You are forgetting Megumi Fujii, but I’m not sure she is going to buy enough PPVs by herself to even cover his salary.

Coker seems like a good guy just trying to do the best he can, but Strikeforce just doesn’t work in a capacity where they can ever be competitive with the UFC. Their fighters have too much free reign, their home grown stars are too inconsistent, and the booking very rarely sees the best fighting the best within the confines of sensible rankings. It reminds me too much of what WCW was to WWF back in the day.

Bellator’s business model makes far more sense. Free shows on basic cable that doesn’t depend on big name recognition. The tournament structure allows unknown fighters to quickly become names within just a few months. Best of all, theres no negoitating with the fighters themselves, they fight who Bellator tells them. I dont’ see SF lasting, but Bellator should solidfy itself as #2.

coker says he won’t tease fans with fights that won’t happen. he goes on sherdog and teases fans that he won’t tease them.

@ Coker
Josh Barnett signed with you because the UFC wouldn’t take him and Strikeforce capitalizes on rejects. I don’t think there are any Barnett fans left, are there? Here’s a question; how long before Barnett singlehandedly takes down his 2nd organization in another matchup against Fedor??

Interesting because there aren’t any college basketball games that require girlish shrieking this time of year.

 Ariel H tweeted yesterday that Gus isn’t announcing Saturday night’s show.

all those guys are all going to fight each other in 2011

Are you ready for a Royal Rumble?

@Casi Norte: Woooo, let’s start a song!

If there’s someone strange in the announcing booth, Who ya gonna call?
GUS-BUSTERS!
If there’s someone weird and he has no clue, Oh, who ya gonna call?
GUS-BUSTERS!

I ain’t afraid of no Gus…

Nice caption.

Who you gonna call?
GUS-BUSTERS!
