- According to an Oct. 8 report from mmamania.com, Showtime may be close to ending its deal with Strikeforce, and the MMA promotion could fold.
"'Inside MMA' has heard from multiple sources that the relationship between Strikeforce and Showtime may be coming to an end," Kenny Rice of Inside MMA reported. "We are being told that the November 3rd event is in serious jeopardy, and there's a strong possibility that Showtime will no longer broadcast Strikeforce events. This could very possibly signify the end of the Strikeforce brand. Strikeforce was purchased by Zuffa in March of 2011. We have to receive any word from either Showtime or Strikeforce as this development continues."
The Nov. 3 Strikeforce show is reportedly in danger of cancellation since former UFC champ Frank Mir withdrew from his scheduled bout against Daniel Cormier.
Cormier is still on the card, but a replacement opponent for Mir has yet to be determined. source | |
