Strikeforce is 0-3 with their big build ups of fights. Instead of letting the fighters actions sell the fights and letting the the match up be what is important, they continually hype a fighter and it seems to blow up in their face. First there was Slice who was eager, but lacked the necessary skill to seriously contend in the world of MMA. Then there was Gina Carano. She was a good looking woman who they thought they could promote woman's MMA. Instead of hyping the matches they hyped her and discarded her like a bag of donuts when Cyborg kicked her butt.(On a side note, I dislike woman's MMA. I don't like seeing women beating the crap out of women. Although many of them might be able to beat the crap out of me.:D) Then they screwed the pooch with Fedor. Although the hype was justified, Fedor picked the wrong nite to make a mistake and lose the first fight he has lost in 10years. I think Fedor's handlers have done him a disservice by not allowing him to fight the best opponents. I think the guys behind him are probably Russian Mob, more interested in the money than the well-fare of the fighter.
