I think he was until Strikeforce "aquired" all the pro-elite contracts and thus lost him the chance to pick up Sheilds, Lawler, Rodgers, Diaz, Melendez and Babalu on the cheap.

Strikeforce is not as small as it once was, and they are still a competitor, with showtime and CBS, people are going to hear their name even more now.

So I am not surprised.

Hey, its bidness. And since a whole bunch of people don't get Showtime, its at least some mma on free Sat night.

I think they're still cool cause Dana hasn't come out and said "**** scott ****ing coker mother ****er is a ****ing idiot. I ****ing hope he loses all his ****ing money and has to eat from a ****ing soup kitchen for the rest of his ****ing life" like he does against Atencio or did against Shaw. But I guarantee we will start to see that if Strikeforce pulls in strong numbers.

Dana doesn't have a personal problem with Coker, but now that strikforce is gaining speed of course he sees it as competion now and thus, will try to keep it from growing. I must say I really dislike the whole way they're marketing the UFC 94 replay. "Oh, lets talk all about grease and cheating to get people to watch it over Strikeforce." That's something they should be trying to keep under the rug not put it all over the TV. Horrible marketing, just sell it the same way you did before the fight.

I agree, knowing they are just trying to justify the eventual 3rd match between the two.

why wouldn't he counterprogram? it doesn't matter if he's "cool" with them...it's business, not personal

Well the theory was that Dana was cool with Scott Coker so he wasn't going to try to put them out of business like everybody else because Strikeforce did things rights. So Dana wasn't against competition and isn't looking to be a monopoly.

But it looks like he's trying to crush Strikeforce too. So then all that "I welcome competition" talk is Baloney.
