I guess the female division will move to Bellator.

Does anyone want to take bets as to how long Bellator lasts?

This is bad. More competition is needed.

However, now that Ontario's opened up, will Canadian promo's start to draw any fighters? And if that does happen, Zuffa can't buy out Canadian promo's, we have pretty strict foreign ownership laws.

[/optimism]

This is bad.

:Baww:Seems to me Zuffa is going to eventually get rid of Strikeforce. Just look at Pride and WEC. I have a premonition that in the future it will no longer be called mixed martial arts and will simply be referred to as Ultimate Fighting!!! I'll guarantee they will have Bellator in their sights shortly after Dana starts talking **** about the org. Whats next Art of War? Overall this is exciting because no matter what is said in interviews Strikeforce will soon be under the UFC banner and we'll get to see super fights but damn it makes me sick, because of how they treat their fighters takes the fight out of them!!! Not to mention Zuffa is for whatever reason trying to destroy the goddamn sport!!!!!
