The death of the CBS contract and Strikeforce?

[WiDDoW_MaKeR]

That was just horrible. How awful does that look for MMA? I won't be surprised to hear that CBS drops Strikeforce after that... and I won't be surprised if the entire company goes belly up. I can't believe they took it that far on Network TV.

[chimba]

I fuckin hope so. 2nd tier production and lets be honest 2nd tier leftover fighters.

[Vitor Belfort]

I wouldn't be surprise. I actually want to see the champion shields-melendez-king mo and former champ mousasi .. fedor-arlovski-overeem etc fight in the ufc.

Shields would give gsp a challenge
melendez would be a good addition to the already packed lightweights
King Mo and Mousasi would make the 205 lbs division even better
Fedor-Overeem-Arlovski etc would give brock new challengers

i wouldnt mind seeing strikeforce fold and there talent going to ufc other than the ass clowns that started the brawl tonight,im sure its only like 4-6 months from closing there doors anyhow

[WiDDoW_MaKeR]

I heard what I hope is a nasty rumor. I heard that there was a huge riot in the parking lot after the event, and a college killed was killed. I hope that is just bullshit. If it isn't... Strikeforce may as well file for bankruptcy tomorrow.

That was the Diaz brothers and a couple others jumping Miller. Melendez pushed him away, but then scooted out, I am pretty sure. The Diaz brothers were doing most of the attacking. Pretty sure it was Nick dragging him to the ground, and Nate booting him while he was down.

where did you hear this rumor?

[jrow]

i hope its just a rumor

[WiDDoW_MaKeR]

where did you hear this rumor?
Someone posted it under a video of the brawl. Said that they were there. Another person said they were there too, and said that at least 3 people were taken away on stretchers. Another person said that it was true and they were watching it on the local news. However, I would think it would be big news already. It was on youtube... so hopefully it is just some people being jackoffs. However, I usually don't see people saying this sort of stuff on there.

The more I read about it... the more it seems that way. He also said that Rogan "tweeted" that Miller was in a holding cell for instigating a riot. Then later someone pointed out Rogan's twitter page didn't say anything, he then said that it was actually a text message that he got saying that he may be charged with manslaughter.... He seems to just be an ass hole screwing around. Miller even tweeted "Whoops" about an hour ago.

[WiDDoW_MaKeR]

The real question is... why couldn't this have happened to Kanye West at the Awards show instead?

[Chileno606]

What a monumental clusterfuck. What a bunch of fucking morons. :patsch

[(PimpThaSystem)]

LOL at how fast everyone can turn on on a promotion for one show. Bravo.

[jrow]

its just a rumor nothing on the local news here

[audio101]

It's horrible watching it on CBS. They cut to commercial every other minute, there's no real build up, and it's slowly paced. Plus none of their fighters have any drawing power now, other than Fedor.

Thanks, yeah I figured after hearing nothing soon after. I looked at the Nashville news online myself, and saw nothing. Glad to know it was just a moron acting out.

[Kestrel]

Maybe Strikeforce is copying WWE lol I don't think this will end Strikeforce. It all depends on ratings. This might even get more viewers to tune in. Bad publicity can be good publicity.

[T.C.W]

I heard the rating as very bad.

Look combat sports are a cable tv sport, there made for for cable

[southpaw jab]

All publicity is good publicity. Strikeforce on CBS ain't going nowhere.

[achillesthegreat]

Good news for SF is that they have 2 big cards coming up.

Arlovski vs Big Foot
Overeem vs Rogers

Fedor vs Werdum

Real MMA fans should tune in for those bouts.

If Strikeforce goes belly up I'm guessing the main players in the brawl are all going to the UFC. Hell, one of them is there already.
