gerrymanderer Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Business man KP King has purchased Strikeforce from Zuffa in a major surprise. Reached for comment, Dana White confirmed the sale as said "KP gets all the fighter contracts, the production people, the showtime deal. For what he paid he should damn sure get it." Asked about a possible co-promotion situation White responded, "No, they are just another competitor now." KP Productions will be issuing further information in the near future.

gerrymanderer Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 After the failed steroid tests of Cyborg and Mo, Zuffa actively sought a buyer for Strikeforce. Being a huge MMA fan and having ties to the television industry I felt I could make Strikeforce a continually viable competitor to the UFC. The purchase includes all SF fighters under contract as well as the continued relationship with Showtime. We Will be airing 12 events a year for the next three years on the network. The March 7th Rousey v Tate show will go on as planned. Check back for further news including free agent signings and future matchups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
