GSP’s Next Fight & Fedor’s Circus
GSP
It was reported today by MMA Fanhouse that Georges St. Pierre could be fighting as soon as January 2010. I have him on my list as the top P4P fighter in the world right now. It is rumored that he may be defending his title against the winner of the Swick vs. Kampmann fight at UFC 103 which should be an awesome fight.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town, StrikeForce refuses to have a set date for Fedor’s first fight & they won’t give us an opponent yet. There are rumors all over Twitter about Fedor getting some easy fights first ( as if this is something new ) then building him up ( best in the world needs to be built up? ) before he can get a shot at the illustrious StrikeForce HW title.
If you have read anything I have posted in the past or you follow me on Twitter, you would know I can’t stand this guy. He & his company with their genius “co-promo” ideas have taken several organizations down. I hate to say it because I like StrikeForce & they have a lot of good fighters in every other weight class but I think Fedor could be the end for them unless….( keep reading )
He wants to pad his record just as much as they do to try & make more money.
Then people at StrikeForce say they must be making some progress if Dana White mentions them all the time. Maybe…just maybe..Dana is building them up a bit knowing they to will one day be owned by Zuffa.
The UFC is #1. The WEC in my opinion has the best most entertaining fights in MMA. StrikeForce has a decent stable and….women. I say keep the women there & build it up then Zuffa can work their magic.
I know a lot of people say “we need competition in MMA”. The UFC really hasn’t had any competitors. They started this MMA thing in the mainstream. Other organizations have tried to capatalize on what the UFC built & they have all failed. Dana has a knack for making the best fighters in the world compete against each other. If Zuffa took StrikeForce over, all questions would be answered. We would know once & for all who the best is in every division. Why wouldn’t MMA fans want to see that?
Why does it matter to the common fan who owns what unless they are a shareholder? If Zuffa owns them all we will get to see who the best really is. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that sooner or later Fedor will put up or shut up. If he is afraid to make more money & fight the best he should take the cash he has already made ( not earned ) along with his WAMMA belt that no one cares about & bring his circus back home!
