Yesterday the UFC purchased their top competitor, Strikeforce. UFC President Dana White insists nothing will change, there will be no cross promotion and it will all be “business as usual”. But after two years Strikeforce’s contracts with Showtime will expire.
It’s not going to happen yet, but according to Josh Gross:
“The UFC/Strikeforce split is all about contracts. Once they’re fulfilled with Showtime … A WEC type merger is planned.”
How long until that happens is anyone’s guess, but as contracts expire the UFC will be in a position to negotiate away all of Strikeforce’s young talent and top fighters.
Within 2 years the best in the world will complete under one banner.
