Sokoudjou is going to kill him though.

Yeah it should be an ugly KO or GNP in the first 3 minutes. Soko will run thru Houston.

Shark fights is smart enough to get guys with names in the sport, even though some of them are shot. Yeah Houston Alexander ain't shit, but he is known. Shark Fights has really come on strong as young as the organization is. Coors Light & Hooters are both sponsors, If they grow this sucker smart, they may end up taking Strikeforce's place in a few years, if Bellator doesn't do it themselves.

Are you going to this Bird ?

Please. This isn't even real praise of Shark Fights, this is just a suckerpunch at Strikeforce. The strategy for successful MMA promotion does not involve trying to sell PPVs. Shark Fights won't last a year.

Dana White would agree. He even said in one of his interviews with Ariel that the smart thing Strikeforce has done that some of the others failed is NOT doing PPV's because a failed PPV can put an org in the red. Hell, even UFC was getting put in the red for the longest time by failed PPV's and needed huge investments to save it.

I really don't know Wolf, because I don't know how much Shark Fights is paying their fighters for the card and I have no idea what their books look like either. As for my so-called jab at SF? Not really. I want SF to do well, but every time it seems they move a foot forward, it seems like they slide back two.

I don't know I've ever seen a report that SF is losing money.

That is true, I mean it is not like we are talking DREAM or anything.

Right, but I think Dream just suckered some Chinese business guys to sink millions into them.

they did wolf remember there global take over sketch? it was awesome haha

Another org that King has never actually seen a fight in that will now take the place of SF as the #2 MMA org in the US.

Their main event features a dude who was 0-1-1 in his last 2 SF fights vs a UFC guy that has lost his last 4, the co-main guys are in the midst of equally rough patches. And this is a PPV. But they are going to take the place of SF? Ridiculous.

and as far as the slowness of MMA. don't forget Bellator.

Im sure Bird has an eye on that one.
