UFC-Strikeforce Update - Bad News For Fighters?, More

  • Here are some more notes on the sale of Strikeforce to Zuffa (UFC)…

    * On Monday, UFC is scheduled to have a press conference to answer questions regarding the purchase.

    * There were two entities interested in purchasing Strikeforce but yhe UFC made the stronger money offer. It looks as if the UFC was aware of the first deal in place and in either late November or early December decided they were going after it. Negotiations have gone on since that time.

    * Some feel the purchase is not a good thing for the fighters as they can't play two sides against each other in contract negotiations.

    * There are already people looking at trying to get venture capitalists together thinking they can now be that rival brand.

    * The sale is not considered good news if you're a woman fighter.
