Alvarez confronts Coker on the Melendez fight.

1)Eddie should be focusing on Huerta.

2)But I give Eddie props for doing the leg work on trying to make this fight happen.

good stuff!

So shrewd, ,,, and great. Love this.

If Scott pulls this off it would be a huge boost for Strikeforce.

Why would Scott make this fight? He's got challengers for days in SF. No reason at all to risk losing to a fighter in another org. Bellator is trying to get Strikeforce to do their job for them.

totally disagree. Beating aoki brought Gilbert much recognition. It was a risk, and it paid off. If Alvarez beats Huerta, and the shit talk continues, Gil vs Eddie would be a mini mega fight. Which win or lose brings plenty of spotlight to both SF and Bellator. And bringing a spot light to MMA that is not UFC is a boon to all the non ufc org's.

and if Thomson beats jz(a trilogy between Thomson and Gil seems to soon), then I actually see a lack of desired fights in the SF 155 ranks.

SF was dumb for making that fight, wasting a challenger. I forgot they lost Noons. But at one point it looked like they had Thompson, JZ, Noons and Fancypants waiting in the wings.
