Who needs the UFC? Full Tilt Poker has found a new girlfriend...

...and her name is Strikeforce.

Question: Was this split Zuffas call or FTPs? One would think Zuffa is pulling the strings but you never know.

Question: Who will end up in better shape? UFCs new poker partner has a shady past and Showtime/CBS can reach lots of potential gamblers.

Zuffa does not make many bad moves...time will tell if this was one of them.

UFC discards Full Tilt Poker for Ultimatebet.com...Money > Anything

As reported on bluffmagazine.com, UltimateBet.com continues it's transition as the UFCs choice for online gambling sites.

While it's obvious that the UFC will always favor the high bidder...what is not clear is if they are aware of the organizations less than stellar reputation and possible criminal dealings.

Either Zuffa knows something that we don't, Full Tilt Poker has issues of their own or Zuffa does not care that they are shaking up with possible felons.

Why wouldn't the UFC just press harder oni FTP for more money? Maybe they did and they called the bluff...thinking that the fastest growing sports organization would never hitch up with such a shady company. Surprise Full Tilt Poker! The UFC ranks Money higher than ethics and must figure they can drop UB when the shit really hits the fan.

One more chapter in the head scratcher that is the UFC business plan. Who can argue with the results...so far.
