Spike TV has scheduled “UFC Main Events” for Saturday, Nov. 7 at 9 PM ET, directly opposite the Strikeforce: “Fedor vs. Rogers” prime time event that’s set to air live on CBS.

Fights featured in Zuffa’s new special include:

UFC 103: Rich Franklin vs. Vitor Belfort
UFC 102: Antonio Nogueira vs. Randy Couture
UFC 101: Anderson Silva vs. Forrest Griffin
UFC 101: BJ Penn vs. Kenny Florian

WOW the UFC is pulling out all the stops. This is a must to set the DVR.

Oh man. Strikeforce is dead in the water. They might as well not even do their show. When all the casuals check out Spike TV BEFORE they check out CBS and see UFC. It's all over. Damn, i bet our boys from San Jose didnt even see it coming. Cold blooded. I was hoping Strikeforce would be able to make something of themselves but they are just a floating object in the pacific ocean now. Damn you Zuffa, DAMN YOU STRAIGHT TO HELL!

I dont think its a big of a deal as some of u guys do. i actually think even casual fans are starting to know who Fedor is. His name is big and he is fighting a very worthy opponent. Rogers is very live underdog at best. U would have to be crazy to miss the fedor fight to watch UFC reruns in my book.

Classic Zuffa, that's competitive business at it best

But, although I see it as a deterrent, the Strikeforce CBS show will still do good numbers.

Strikeforce, no matter what the UFC does, will still put up giant numbers, top ten MMA all time. No big deal.

Top 10 all time huh? I'd agree since we're comparing CBS to PPV, Versus, & Spike TV

That's the idea.

Eyeballs are eyeballs.

Now EVERYONE can see Anderson make Forrest his bitch.

UFC monarchy prays for Strikeforce to be financial failure, implements counter programing. How dare they try to be successful!!!
