Since Fedor's fight has been moved to May & CBS not liking to show anything that doesn't involve him would it be possible that they're moving the April card to May?
Possible line-up could be one of the best overall cards we've seen since UFC 100.
Fedor vs Werdum
Shields vs Hendo (Middleweight Title)
Mousasi vs King Mo (Light Heavyweight Title)
Melendez vs Aoki (Lightweight Title)
Overeem vs Rogers (non-Title)
Arlovski vs Antonio Silva
fail
da fuk?
April
Shields vs Hendo (Middleweight Title)
Mousasi vs King Mo (Light Heavyweight Title)
Melendez vs Aoki (Lightweight Title)
May
Overeem vs Rogers (non-Title)
Arlovski vs Antonio Silva
Fedor hasn't been confirmed for anything.
This card will end the org similar to the last Affliction show.
Card - fail
Still make for a hell of a card.
LOL. While it would be great for Strikeforce to make that card that would be putting all their eggs in one basket just to try make a UFC PPV level show. Their better off again taking it slow and spreading the talent out a bit. Considering how shakey things have looked though I wouldn't hold my breath until we actually see the weigh-ins. The problem will be CBS's requirements though, and it will be extrememly difficult to make a card that will sell on that network with the fighters they have.
For now the best fight is Melendez vs. Aoki as it's the only A level fighters squaring off. They have put together some good B level fights as well as the Hendo/Shields fight although that's a A vs. B. At least Strikeforce appears to be doing the best they can to make the best fights possible with the fighters they have. Hopefully it works out for them.
They will have a hard time making Hendo marketable for Strikeforce. The mainstream doesn't know him that well if at all. How are they going to push him? With highlights of all his fights in Pride and UFC?
edited, not trying to be deragatory.
Would be a great card for sure.
Not going to happen that way though
