With the #1 pfp fighter in the world outside the UFC, other organizations - namely Strikeforce - can provide some degree of competition. As a result, fighters will still have some bargaining power.
Even though I jerk off to Fedor/Brock, I'm smart enough to see this as a good thing.
I honestly don't.
I really don't care about the fighters.
I care about seeing the best fighters fight each other.
If they don't get rich, it's no skin off my back.
With everybody under one roof, there is no place to hide, and the organization forces top guys to fight each other.
UFC = Microsoft
Strikeforce = Apple
Fedor = iPhone (what helped turn the tide)
That's an interesting comparison, but I fail to see what applicability it has to my post.

LOL!!! Nice! I'm so glad Fedor stuck to his beliefs and signing with Strikeforce is a GOOD thing! Sorry UFC/Brock nuthuggers!
There are enough top guys out there that there are a wealth of interesting matchups besides the ones we obsess over. Much like women.
What part of Fedor on free tv is a bad thing?

No, there aren't, that's the problem.
Overeem? Assuming he can fight in the states (drug testing), that's 1.
after that?
Nothing, really.
Maybe Monson, but not really.
So what you've got is 1 compelling fight that may or may not be able to happen.

Rogers is interesting and there are plenty of other fighters Strikeforce will pick up.
Personally I only find Brock interesting in the UFC.
HHH,
1) Really? Rogers interests you? A guy who has fought exactly 1 quality guy in his career, and we have no idea if he has any ground game whatsoever? You're easily interested then.
2) I guess if a guy like Rogers interests you, then there probably ARE other interesting guys out there. More power to you, I suppose.
over the next year fedor fights:
rogers-overeem-werdum-monson-barnett-arlovski(rematch)
give or take a few of the above, but when the contract runs out he signs with the ufc and we will get what we want.
so stop crying bitches and enjoy it all.
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! little bitches!!!!
"Rogers is interesting and there are plenty of other fighters Strikeforce will pick up."
No, there aren't. Seriously, the HW division is not chock full of unsigned talent.

Thank you for your honesty, now feel free to GTFO and get into cockfighting instead if you really don't care about those providing you with entertainment.
Thanks, but I think I'll stay.

You care about the org. This is a classic quote.
Wrong, I care about the fights.
