I believe that le will eventually return to fighting but by then it might be to late.I wonder how long it's going to take coker to come to his senses and strip overeem of his title?hopefully sooner than later. Really looking forward to this card on the 7th. this news has just made my day.

Plus first time viewers will be wondering what the hell is WAMMA. Strip Overeem, and crown 2 champs on free live tv.

Just read on ESPN that Strikeforce is talking to ISAC to saction this thing so they can hold it in Chicago (which means I am going). More specificlly they are talking about holding it at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates. A decision could come down by the end of today at the earliest.

I still don't know if the avg person understands all the implications of this card being on CBS. This is the absolute quickest way to build superstars. While you and I can bang the drum all day long about the greatness of Anderson Silva and GSP. There will be millions of people who have not or will not spend 55 bucks to watch MMA every month or ANY month at this point. People who were on the fence about MMA will again have a chance for FREE to watch a full upper level card. Spike is reaping the benefits of Kimbo on CBS right now. CBS translates into Household names, from Big names within the sport. And as dumb as this may sound at first, Everyone knows where CBS is on their television provider.

Fedor is Strikeforce's meal ticket and the only reason this card is showing on network tv. It's a lock. BTW ..... does anyone know what happens to Fedor's WAMMA belt? Will Strikeforce recognize this belt in as much as introducing Fedor as the WAMMA title holder? Don't know if I've heard anything about that at all. edub …. there is not a chance in hell that Shields vs. Miller will be the main event and/or the night’s final fight of that card.

Dana has gotta be butthurt to a new level from the CBS news. Its gonna be interesting to see if Strikeforce makes Shields vs Miller the main event over Fedor vs Rogers because it has title implications. Its also gonna be interesting to see how the general public views a title fight in the same division Anderson Silva is in when he is not participating. Exactly.

CBS, Fedor vs Rogers, and Jake Shields vs. Jason Miller for the title. I say load up the card as big as possiable. $$$$$ is all good. I cant help but think what "Im mad at Rampage" Dana has to think about this??? This has to sour him alot. sorry “over two years” sounded better to me lol. in all seriousness though this is great news for Strikeforce.
