Wow, Old Reem was expected and I though Einemo might have earned another shot, but Coenen too?!

Its obviously not about they're talent, its their involvement with Overeem.

Don't be surprised when Kharitonov is cut after Barnett beats him. Wonder what exactly GG did to piss Zuffa off...

It's not their involvement with Overeem, it's GG's involvement with them.

@Danno

GG is promoting shows and had one set for October. Overeem is scheduled to fight on it. Draw your own conclusions.

i got barnett in my fantasy mma game just b/c i think he wins the SF grand prix. did you see what SK said about fedors brother after the fight with henderson. fedors brother blamed it on the coaches. he basically called him a degenerate who has spent quite a bit of time in jail. it was in the news section of tapology

@Soccer..I'm not actually sure If he did for sure or not just heard rumours

As for Overeem and GG well someone had to replace Fedor and M-1

This is getting ridiculous. I was reading about this on bloodyelbow, and they made the point that this is the problem with the zuffa buying up big promotions. People like Dana White aren't afraid to get rid of good fighters because of a stupid grudge. This really needs to change.

I still can't believe Marloes got cut.  Unreal.

Looks like some folks didn't pay attention to the AKA liscensing discussions. This is not surprising.

"White said the problem extends to every AKA fighter, including star welterweight Josh Koscheck and rising heavyweight contender Cain Velasquez. The only exception was Mike Swick, who personally called the UFC President to say he wanted to stay with the company whatever it takes."

"It has nothing to do with Jon Fitch, either. I like Jon Fitch. I've never had a bad word with Jon Fitch. The problem is the idiots that run AKA. I'm not using any names, but the idiots know who they are. The economy is changing by the second all over the world. TV networks are in trouble. Sponsors are in trouble. Some are going out of business, the rest are cutting sponsorships bigtime. Companies that have been in business 100 years are going under"

WHAT..... Marloes Coenen,...Oh come the f*** on that's BS.

Quite frankly everyone else I couldn't care about but Coenen was a) pretty and b) still a good ass to Strikeforce and c) a good assest to the Bantamweight women's division.

Is Dana to blame here though? He himself has profussely stated he has no involvement with ho Strikeforce run, instead it's other's in Zuffa that are getting involved.

Edit: lol I did press the t but not hard enough it seems. Guess you can see what I have in mind when it comes to Coenen ;)

Is Zuffa trying to release enough talent so another rival can start up, build it's brand, and then be bought by Zuffa?  This doesn't make a ton of sense to me.

Bellator could use Coenen for those moments where they reveal how certain moves are done...or actually put her in a tourney ¬_¬
