Holy cow!!!
Zuffa (UFC) has just shocked the MMA World and bought leading competitor Strikeforce. Never saw that one coming, completely took me by surprise.
They say the companies will be run independently but they also said that with the purchases of both Pride & WEC. Look what happened there. The clamour for super-fights like Alistair Overeem vs Cain Velasquez or Brock Lesnar may prove too irrestible to not make from monetary and publicity points of view.
Still in shock at the news, can’t wait to see how things develop. I can see a purchase of Dream or FEG next, merge Strikeforce with Dream and certainly have a very strong grip on the MMA talent. All the big names will be in the UFC or Zuffa rather with the exception of a few Bellator fighters.
