UFC 110 Replay to Counter Strikeforce -- MMA Fighting

As it always does on nights when CBS has shown live mixed martial arts, the UFC will re-play a selection of fights on Spike TV on Saturday night, April 17. This time up it's UFC 110 that will go head-to-head with Strikeforce.

Spike announced Monday that it will show UFC 110 at 9PM Eastern and Pacific, the same time that CBS is showing the Strikeforce card headlined by Dan Henderson vs. Jake Shields.

The fights Spike is showing include Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Cain Velasquez, Wanderlei Silva vs. Michael Bisping, Joe Stevenson vs. George Sotiropoulos, Keith Jardine vs. Ryan Bader, Mirko Cro Cop vs. Anthony Perosh and Chris Lytle vs. Brian Foster. That's certainly not a bad bunch of fights for those who didn't buy the UFC 110 pay-per-view on Feb. 20, although if the UFC had really wanted to hurt Strikeforce it could have given Spike a replay of UFC 111 or even UFC 112.

In addition to Henderson vs Shields, the CBS card will also include Shinya Aoki vs. Gilbert Melendez and Gegard Mousasi vs. Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal.

I'll be watching SF that night.

yeah no thanks I'll be watching SF that night as well. IDK how they even think this shit's going to work since not everyone has Spike yet EVERYONE with a TV set (even from 1950's provided they got a FREE digital receiver) can watch CBS.

I bet it won't do too bad. They'll advertise the shit out of that in the next couple weeks. And I don't think SF will get the best ratings.

true considering i havnt seen a single ad for the sf show...has any1 else seen one? M1 is doing a super job getting their name out there huh

Of course everyone on this board with watch SF.Everyone already has seen, or knows what happened at UFC 110. But for the common fan, they will see it on Spike and tune in. If UFC 110 wins the ratings war it'll prove that Hendo isnt the draw he thought he was,and Dana was right. OMFG Dana White proven RIGHT!!!!!Hell must have frozen over.

well that wont prove hendo isnt a draw cuz how do u expect the guy to draw when SF and M-1 arent marketing their event? Feel bad for hendo, shields, mousasi, mo, gilbert, hell even aoki.......SF has 5 top 10 ranked fighters on a single card and they havnt done shit to market them and get them any press.

I believe they showed some ads during basketball games. Though they need to try a little harder...

IF Dan was a draw, people would spread the word around that hes fighting for the SF title. Instead their going to watch Spike TV and catch Wandy beating up Bisping.I love Hendo, I think hes a great fighter, but he dosent put asses in seats. And to have him main event was a mistake.SF should of gotten their shit together and had Fedor on the card.

[Inventor]

Yeah, so I want to watch a replay, then watch a Strikeforce card. Yeah, yeah, no....
