Huge? Please define your word huge, as the last time i checked he was not a majority shareholder and not an CEO.

Why even say that about the Dana poster? We get it you don't like Dana, your a "Hardcore" fan.

Fedor should leave M-1, and if not because he has "huge" stock in it, then i think no longer we can seperate Fedor and M-1. Fedor should finish his contractual obligations to M-1 then part ways but i do not think he will, if he re-signs he obviously must like the direction M-1 is taking him and who is more to blame the one shouting the orders or the one following the orders.

As long as M1's involved in Fedor's dealings, I think we're going to continue to see more of the same cyclical, doubletalk bullshit. One day, it's he's fighting Werdum, the next he'll fight Overeem if he'll pass a piss test, day after that they're NOT interested in Overeem, but Barnett....in Japan? Guh. Fedor, as amazing as he is as a fighter, seems content to let M1 circlejerk his fans and the MMA community by withholding Fedor from fighting consistently and against the very top tier and at the end of the day, it's an everybody loses situation and I think it's starting to turn on Fedor, because IMO, he's the competator whose only got some many years of fighting in him and by wasting away with M1, he's not meeting his fullest potential. I was quite excited to see Werdum challenge him because his submission game is so ridiculous and now that's up in the air?

Everybody notice we're not hearing the same utter bullshit from Mousasi? Hmmm, I wonder why he's not dealing with the same bullshit?

I don't get why you're blaming Rogers getting a title fight, if anyone is to blame it's Strikeforce. He's obviously going to accept the fight, I don't know who would turn down a title fight. I'm not saying he deserves the shot- because he doesn't, but he shouldn't be blamed for this, in my opinion.

He's not going to milk the UFC because he can't. The only reason he's able to do half the shit he does is because he has M-1 and he's in a company that needs stars and quality fighters, UFC isn't in that position, they don't NEED Fedor. Sure he could get big money fights, but I wouldn't count that as milking, as he's probably worth that. I doubt Dana and Co would let M-1 hardball him into something ridiculous, if he would let them, Fedor would have signed with UFC ages ago.

You've really gota question what the shit Strikeforce are doing here. You can't just throw a title shot at someone coming off a loss like this unless it's a late replacement. It makes no sense and just furthers the whole certain fighters getting fed cans and pushed harder than others.

If any1 it should be Werdum not Rodgers.

Strikeforce really is not learning from others mistakes.

I never blamed Rogers? In fact i think i said that Strikeforce needs to turn around and become legit. I did not said Rogers is a joke for accepting the title fight, i said Rogers is a joke in the sense that he is over rated and somehow become "legit" after getting ko'd by Fedor. I did blame Strikeforce and did not blame Rogers.

[James Deuce]

Your post came off as blaming him to me, I apologize.

easily. take the 2 over-rated fighters and hype them even more as the top heavyweights in the world fighting for the most important belt in the world. alot of idiots will buy into it since they have those 2 ranked in the top 10.

anyone with half a brain shouldnt expect much from strikeforce anyway, their titles are as good as a tomato can from the trash.

Like I said before that shot was promised to Rogers along time ago so good for him (call it good karma for fighting Fedor instead).

I don't know about you but AO vs Rogers appeals more to me than AO vs Werdum.

hmm i dunno what to say about this hmm i hope rogers beats him, but i can see what they doing they giving obereem a fight that he can win so they can seel a fight with fedor, being rogers just fought fedor they know who he is so why not i guess then if werdum happen to beat fedor they can sell the rematch with obereem or the match with rogers so they are trying guess, atleast hes defending the dang title lol not the best guy to have fighting for it being hes coming of a loss but its not the 1st time ive seen this happen in the hw div in mma, i can remember eilers getting a shot at the ufc title after a loss

[Xanatos]

what's the point of winning fights in Strikeforce then?if rogers wins this fight and gets the belt, it'll be the most worthless title in mma.
