Brett "The Grim" Rogers + Time = Champion
There is a reason why Gary Shaw didn't want Kimbo to fight him and there will be a time that Dana White will need him.
Not today...not in a few months but in a year or two he will fight in the UFC and he will contend for the belt. No doubt about it. You know it, I know it...everybody knows it. We just have not realized it yet.
He is Huge...even for a HW
He is a Good Interview...especially for a HW
He is Undefeated
He is Cocky
He is Charismatic
He has a great nickname
Granted...he really has not fought anyone in the "A" tier yet. So what...neither had Brock.
Strikeforce will have Werdum fight Overeem...Overeem will win. If he passes the drug test (he is looking much bigger than before...no?) he will then fight "The Grim". Should be a killer fight.
If Brett can get past the next can they give him and then Overeem (or Werdum) he will find himself the Strikeforce HW champ...undefeated at 11-0. Parrallel to that Brock Lesnar will still be champ and they will fight. Don't believe me? Screw you. Write it down and prove me wrong if it doesn't happen.
Bottom line is that I dig The Grim...it's fun to watch him fight. No emotion, hard to take down and hard to hurt. I would really love to see him fight Brock. So would Dana...so it shall be.
Write it down.

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.

Strikeforce: MMA fans should be excited...UFC should be paying attention

Love Strikeforce
1. Good Fighters (Le, Gilbert, The Punk, Babalu, Shields, Diaz etc...)
2. A solid non-crazy leader (Coker)
3. A partnership with CBS/Showtime
Not crazy about the fire or the ramp...in fact I hate the fire and the ramp....maybe I only hate the ramp because of the fire. Having said that, I would certainly put up with it in return for a fight card like last night.
Coker has learned to let go a little bit and relinquish some control...you have to give to get Dana...and it seems to be working for him.
A viable Strikeforce with a Major Cable and Network deal is great for the fighters as well.
The best part is that Gary Shaw and his incredibly creepy son Skala have nothing to do with it.

Nick Diaz, keeping it real...loves the Pot. Hates Shamrock

Nick Diaz does not have a fake bone in his body.
He does not always make the smartest decisions and sometimes his indiscretion can harm his profession. However...no one can ever question if he is real or not. He is a fighter...a fighter that loves to smoke pot.
As reported in the LA TIMES, he not only feels "more consistent" as a cannabis user but he has a way to beat the test. ppsssst! Nick! Inside voice! INSIDE VOICE!
He is clearly not the only fighter using the herb. He is just the only fighter telling the world he smokes it "on the reg" as Kenny Powers would say and tells the commission that he can beat their drug test.
You may not like Nick Diaz...however, in a world of fake people you have to respect his honesty.
Pass it over here Nick...

Why Dana White should not apologize and why Tigers don't ever change their stripes

Because he is Dana White and Tigers are Motherfucking Tigers.
Seriously, Dana may end up apologizing but should he? What good will it do? Does anyone think that an apology will change who he is? Honky Please!
It would take a severe acid trip at the Burning Man or a Peyote fest in a sweat lodge for Dana to change. Both not likely.
The sad fact is that the groups wanted an apology know full well that Dana will not change. They are using Dana White for Publicity. That's right...the ultimate manipulative promoter is being manipulated for promotion. Plain and simple...it's a chance for them to get their name out their.
I say let Dana be Dana...this is America right? Let the fucking guy speak his fucking mind...you fuckers.
