This is good news for those of us who have Showtime and are broke & can't afford any more PPV's.  Thank goodness the SF PPV plans are put on hold for now!  I think this is a good thing for the fans.

Interesting. I'm curious to see what happens here and later in the year. This would be the first Strikeforce event to be scheduled/created with Zuffa influence.

This is great news because I wouldn't have paid for it anyway and I don't think many people would.

I think they alienated a lot of WEC fans when they did the PPV and don't want to repeat that mistake again.

Was I the only one who still found it weird for a Strikeforce event to be advertised on a UFC PPV?

Anyway I'm really looking forward to the event. The Heavyweight tournement is pretty much a fantastic idea, something Strikeforce should think of doing once a year me thinks (and not just on the Heavyweights either).

I think strikeforce will be a distant memory 5 years from now. But I'm enjoying it while it's here.
