I've actually been to many of their events and have many friends/training partners that compete in StrikeForce. I think they're great as a regional player to find and develop talent. But, trying to be another UFC is going to sink them.
That is possible...however...As long as MMA continues to grow there will always be a Company like strikeforce...Until the UFC lands a major TV deal on ESPN(which brings in the real sponsor money like baseball ,football get) and shows weekly MMA fights(and absorbs all the fighters currently in other orgs) there will always be other company's that will pop up to fill a void...
I have heard people say there needs to be less UFC cards thats wrong...there needs to be a UFC card everyweek on a cable channel such as ESPN...The weekly cards would be mostly up & comers and journey men with the main event being mid level names..This would go along way to MMA becoming more main stream as well as giving the fans a better look at upcoming talent...PPV's would only consist of only top tier fighters either fighting for a title or a title shot...
Until something of this nature occurs there will always be an Elite XE,affliction,strikeforce...yea its possible strikeforce may one day fold as the others did but no sooner than that happens another company will take there place...It all comes down to supply and demand...There are more fighters with more talent coming up now more than ever before this requires more promotion and more fight cards not less...and until there is one org large enough to accommodate them all there will always be a strikeforce...
