Also bad press?, what bad press. Put out a statement that says something like "Today I have made a very tough choice, and that is to strip Alistair Overeem of the Strikeforce Heavywieght Title. He has not defended it since capturing the title two years ago, and that is too long for any title to sit dorment. We have a lot of exciting and accomplished heavywieght fighters in Strikeforce including the best pound for pound fighter on the planet and it is time that we start showcasing that talent in title fights. Alistair is always welcome to come back and fight in Strikeforce but at this time the Heavywieght division will be moving on without him." There done Scott you can use some or all of that for the press release. No bad press for Strikeforce just make Overeem look bad, and yes I know throwing fighters under the bus is a DW move but in this case it is warrented.

If he went and stripped Overeem (although he should) then he would receive a lot of bad press, which in turn gives Strikeforce's abysmal roster bad press. It's the same thing with Cung, he waited because Le was huge for his business and he really does need every name he can get. It's getting better everytime he signs a good new fighter but the reality is they need every fighter they can get.

When the hell is Coker going to get off his ass and strip Overeem? He waited 'til LE retired, and I don't think Alistair is going to do that anytime soon. Please Scott, for all that is holy, take the fucking title off of Overeem and make Fedor vs. Brett a title fight. The Fedor/Rogers fight shouldn’t be for an interm title; it should be for THE TITLE.

Everything he says bugs me. I hope Fedor shows him how professionals act after he whoops him soon. I’ve never liked Brett, and I still don’t. Everything he says bugs me.

If Rogers can catch him early with some good power shots he may be able to gnp a win vs Fedor I think he has the skills to pull this one off.
