UFC/Strikeforce Promotional
Posted on July 5, 2010, 02:23 PM by johnedgeWho has the best Heavyweight Division in MMA? Strikeforce or UFC? Could there be a way we can settle this?
We all know everyone has their opinions in this matter. Dana White seems he has the greatest HW of all time in Brock Lesnar and including other top fighters in Shane Carwin, Cain, Frank Mir, Junior Santos and even "Big Country" Roy Nelson. Strikeforce CEO, Scott Coker believes he has the best HW division with Alistar Overeem, Fabricio Werdum, and Fedor Emelianenko.
We have all seen Fabricio Werdum submit Fedor, but we have seen Santos defeat Werdum. We have seen Frank Mir submit Brock Lesnar. We have seen Shane Carwin defeat Frank Mir.
Is the only way of settling this is a copromotional? Would Dana White have more to lose? Yes, let's be real UFC following is untouched by Strikeforce. On the other hand who has the best HW division?
I think this is just like College Football. The only way you settle this is in the cage and not letting the media and us decide. Should we the fans, demand to make this happen? Yes there will be problems with contracts and stuff, but what if it was a one fight deal copromotional and let's find out who's the division is the best. Fedor and M-1 are going to have to bend with Dana White and Dana White will have to bend some for M-1. Those two will be the biggest obstacles of course.
My question remains who is the "Baddest Man on the Planet"? I think the answer lies in the cage, but here are some choices in no particular order:
1. Mike Tyson "jk"
2. Brock Lesnar
3. Fedor
4. Alistar Overeem
5. Junior Santos
6. Shane Carwin
7. Frank Mir
9. Roy Nelson
10. Cain

co promotion in theory is a fans dream, but i trust dana when he says he thinks it will kill mma. but goddam like an MMA world cup between all orgs would be amazing!
oh and im not fussed, but you're gonna get a lot of hate for having Cain at number 10.
NO Particular Order means this is just a list not my rankings.
ah fail :( missed that part!
The baddest man on the planet doesn't even participate in MMA. He knocks people out at a bar in my home town. He is a bad man.
the ufc is the only ones who won't co promote. that means they are the money hungry pussies of mma. not the fighters. the promoters{dana}
Just look at the state boxing is in and you will understand why Dana White doesn't wan't to co-promote and let Strikeforce leech of the ufc.
The UFC has the most to lose potentially from a co promotion. Think if somehow all their fighters had bad fights. All of a sudden all the hype and their titles are null.
fedor vs. brock won't happen cause dana won't let it. not m-1. m-1 are assholes too, but that fight could really happen if dana wasn't trying to corner the mma market
and his fight cards really suck nowadays.
It's up in the air who the best HW is. I think both orgs have weak HW divisions and always will. HW has always been the weakest division in any combat sport despite being the biggest draw for the casual fan.
Dana will never co promote... =(
Pipe dream
Got to agree with you on that. I know one guy that would jump ship first, Anderson Silvia. I think he is getting tired of Dana's crap. Funny how Dana was calling him the p4p best fighter in the world and he mocks this guy in the ring and doesn't give him the belt and rips him. Brock Lesnar MF's everyone, tries to do something to Mir after the fight, basically screws Bud Light and tells everyone he is going to drink Coors. Brock gets a little chewing, but not blasted in the media. Now Brock is the p4p best fighter in the world according to Dana.
