Nick Diaz is the Paul Williams of MMA

[Liquidrob]

LHW is there weakest, than WW

But I dont think MMA fans give fighters enough time, it takes a while to devolp a division, thats why the Challenger show is good, you cant just go off having 'big names' that makes a division good, the UFC has a strong hold on that and they make big names just by being in the UFC

After Woodley, Galvao and Tarec become more established you have a solid division, it only takes a couple guys to make it strong, throw in good matchmaking and placement of fights and you can start some good hype

[SHOGUN]

Every other WW division is going to pale in comparison to the UFCs. That's the one division they pretty much have a monopoly on in MMA. The next best thing is to go after prospects and build them up - and SF have been, albeit at a slower pace than the UFC because of their lack of shows.

It would have been nice if Strikeforce could snatch a couple of Bellator's welterweights. If they had someone like Hornbuckle and Askren to go with Hieron and their current stable, it'd be a fun one to say the least.

those 2 should have been snatched up, Askren was almost in SF and than he signed with Bellator, but co-promotion can still be an option which is good

SF signed a 3 year deal with Showtime, so they have time

Coker stated that at April they will go full steam, 1 big show a month and a Challengers every 6 weeks, they really need to stick to that plan

[Liquidrob]

Also, I hope Strikeforce's 'big announcement' isnt a let down like Dana always pulls or isnt something we already know, I'm guessing the April and May fights will be announced which they need to do now

[EmpireWF]

yeah, I'm pretty sure that announcement they talked about during the show Friday is just going to be the official word on the April CBS show and maybe the May one w/ Fedor.

which is a good thing if its official, they have to get away frome the Japan style last minute fight annoucements, dont worry about 'counter programming' and get some dates set and fighters ready to go

[EmpireWF]

If I were them, I would have announced both shows during the Showtime broadcast on Friday. Why wait the weekend and make an announcement when they could have at the very least made sure whomever was watching knows when they're back.

On the bright side, hopefully they can get spots throughout the college basketball tournament.

[Liquidrob]

Also forgot a couple names, Shamar Bailey is fighting on the March 26th Challengers show and supposedly signed Roger Bowling, Bowling is a great propspect

Bump for Diaz
