Well, Kharitonov‘s good and all, even though he got handled by Jeff Monson in his last fight — but we hope Coker and FEG can get a little more creative than that. A "Strikeforce vs. DREAM" co-promoted card would be appropriately epic, with DREAM’s stable of lightweights (Joachim Hansen, Shinya Aoki), welterweights (Marius Zaromskis, Hayato Sakurai) and middleweights (Jason Miller, Ronaldo Souza) going up against guys like Nick Diaz, Jake Shields, Gilbert Melendez, Josh Thomson, Cung Le, and Jay Hieron. And maybe this will even inspire Strikeforce to launch its own Super Hulk Tournament. (Shaquille O’Neal vs. Don Frye, anybody?) Oh, if only…
In a related story, MMA Junkie reports that Strikeforce’s contract with Fedor Emelianenko isn’t completely exclusive. Under the current terms, Fedor will still be able to compete internationally, in other organizations — for example, in those Japanese New Year’s Eve shows that he used to be so fond of. Because nothing rings in the new year better than beating the crap out of some sad freak. And if you can get paid for it, even better.

MR. PEEPERS: THE RECKONING
I've been wondering how those DREAM shows have been doing. Are they making any money? Are they shown on network TV in Japan or PPV?
But if this happenes all the potental Middleweight, Welterweight and Lightweight matches would be very entertaining, I actually hope this happens
I like the Idea of having a Dream vs. Strikeforce card & I think it opens a little more wriggle room for Fedor's career.
"Maybe have him fight Cung Le for the middleweight title if he ever decides to defend it."
Ya know, thanks for bringing that up. Coker needs to get Le in the ring and defend his belt in the next three months or I say strip him of his belt. I really like Cung and he's a fun fighter to watch, but if he won't even defend the belt ONCE, give it back to Strikeforce.
Overeem, you're next. Yeah, yeah. I know the hands jacked. But TWO FREAKIN' YEARS? Rogers has fought like FIVE TIMES since your last match.
...of course, while riding on a rollercoaster.
Hey...I guy can "dream", right?
Get it?
DREAM?
....I know, I suck.
