You guys have any opinions on this tonight on HDNET?

King Of The Cage: Bad Boys II - Apr 16th
Jake Rosholt -245
Jeremy Horn +175

Also, WEC odds are out.

Faber +260 in his hometown. Man that is tempting. Problem is, I think Aldo wins.

I know a lot of guys on here will call me stupid but I like Faber. I still think if he doesn't break both his hands vs Brown that he would have won that fight easily. His speed vs Brown was outstanding and that was using elbows. I think he has a great chance of taking Aldo down and beating him on the ground. I will say I would feel much better if it was a 3 rounder that way Faber didn't have to avoid the big bombs as long.

Dana bashing CBS,Showtime, and Strikeforce.
I knew it was a matter of time and saying he has never seen Nate Diaz pull that crap in UFC is 100% BS. It is just by sheer luck thus far that it has not happened and if it does then he will blame Nick as the one who caused it.
In this case Nate was a bigger scumbag than Nick as he kept kicking a downed Miller.
Nate said he got hit in the back of the head?? BY WHO?? Nobody was in the cage helping Miller. He was solo. Maybe Nate got him as well.

And of course Dana has to drop his Strikeforce will be out of business in a month line. :mj07:

He has said that for about 6-8 months straight. It sure has been a really long month in his mind I guess.

?Now, they?re stuck with a bush league, C-level promotion that will probably be out of business next month,? he added. ?And what you saw on Saturday is the kind of thing that happens when you put a product like that on national television.?

The only thing bush league is Dana's constant they will be out of business in a month comments.
LAME!!
Also Strikeforce is nowhere near a C-League organization.
That would be King of the Cage or maybe even Dream.

B-League are Strikeforce and WEC.

I disagree......Sonnen will take the fight to Anderson. He won't stay back. Plus the trash talk will be good. If you were Dana what would you do? Anderson refused to fight last time, only thing you can do is cut him.

Or could just do what Scott Coker does and say nothing (the brawl). Dana is the man.

What could he do is not reward him as a headliner in his next fight after that. Co main event or something. I am betting Sonnen is nowhere near as aggressive vs Silva.

Coker may have said nothing but it was Dana who bashed the guys involved then did nothing to his own guy Nate and now he is sitting next to Shields. :shrug:
Dana blamed Strikeforce for the brawl when the real people to blame were the guys involved, the buildings security, and the TN commission who assigns security tasks. Strikeforce is one of the last to blame in the list. Yet Dana only blamed them and somehow Showtime/CBS for it. Go figure.

Coker ran away and hid.....he didn't step up...and did shit.

Dana steps up and speaks up and doesn't run away. Gotta respect that.

Coker cancels interviews and runs away.....pathetic.

I agree, Coker should have put a lifetime ban on Nate Diaz ever being at a Strikeforce event again.

How did Dana step up in this situation? He never said a word about Nate and did nothing to him. He just bashed Strikeforce which he does daily anyway. I am sure he already has a bash speech ready for the day after Overeem/Rogers.

Dana doesn't have to do shit....it is StrikeForce problem. If that happened in UFC Dana wouldn't have run away and hid like Coker did. Coker had interviews lined up with Inside MMA and USA Today and canceled both of em.

Dana doesn't run and hide. When things go bad he steps up. Coker on the other hand ran away like a little bitch.

It is your comapny....."face the music" and step up.


Bash Dana all you want, but when things go bad he steps up. Coker on the other hand ran away.

True I guess Coker could have promised to make it up to the fans somehow and just hope that people forget that he promised that. On paper that clearly sounds better than running away.

Not sure what Coker could do anyway?
The TN commission was the one deciding on suspensions.

Who is Coker gonna suspend or punish?
Nate Diaz? No he is not a Strikeforce guy.
Mayhem Miller? No he came out but didn't come out to start it and he apologized.
Jake Shields? No he is the 185 champ.
Gilbert Melendez? No he is the 155 champ.
Nick Diaz? No he is the 170 champ.

Champions get passes. Ask Anderson Silva.

No, I don't respect it.

The only reason Dana steps up is because he loves the limelight, loves being the centre of attention and thinks he is more important than the fighters.

He wants to be a tough guy without doing the actual bleeding.
His position allows him to talk to fighters like they are shit and his ego takes full advantage.

He is not "The Man". He is a self important Prick who would still be a bell hop at a hotel, if he didn't have a couple of very rich friends.

They are working with the Tenn. commission and fines could be coming.


Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said an incident like that has no place in mixed martial arts.
"We're going to take a look at the tape and see what really happened and see what was said because we're going to get all the angles from CBS," Coker said. "(A fine) is something that we could talk about. It was childish. Some people say, 'Oh, boys are boys,' but the world was looking upon this fight and it was Jake's moment, beating a legend like Dan and I think that was taken away from him."

I will admit Dana has done tons for the sport, but his swollen ego and desire for attention has soured so many people.
He seems like a good guy to meet and hang with from a fans point of view and he is living the life right now, but he is not grounded which is the biggest shame.

Dana is so childish that it is not even funny.
I mean why does he feel the need to mention Strikeforce will be bankrupt next month every two weeks?
Why can't he simply say we are the #1 brand and we are ok with mma fans watching them because we are secure and established and the elite company.
He can be so much more but his ego will not allow it.
