 So far, so good for Strikeforce.
Promoter Scott Coker’s California-based fight company hasn’t made too many mistakes as yet in its risky bid to baby-step out of the UFC’s considerable shadow. Now all the promotion needs is a fan base to match its potential. Coker has certainly been making some moves lately that are worthy of our attention.
Lost in the pre-fight hype for UFC 98 last week was Strikeforce’s announcement that Andrei Arlovski vs. Brett Rogers would be added to the already outstanding lineup the company has planned for its second Showtime offering on June 6.

 Remember that scene in the movie “Malice” where a lawyer asks Dr. Jed Hill (played by a remarkably un-jowly Alec Baldwin) if he thinks he has a God complex? And Hill responds – with some of Baldwin’s patented “yell acting” – by crying out, “You ask if I have a God complex … I am God!”
Of course you don’t, that movie came out in 1993 and you’re like 18 years-old. But we do, and damn it if that scene doesn’t remind us of UFC President Dana White sometimes.

 Some folks Online have gone as far as to suggest that UFC 98 is cursed.
While bad juju might not actually be to blame, it’s hard to escape the truth that when the UFC invades Las Vegas this Saturday, the fight card for the show headlined by Rashad Evans’ light-heavyweight title fight with Lyoto Machida will look vastly different than the one the company first planned. That’s because no fewer than six big-name fighters have had to pull out due to injuries in the months leading up to the event.
For the record, only one show in the promotion’s history – UFC 85 – has ever suffered more pre-fight injuries. Curse or not, matchmaker Joe Silva will likely have a few more grey hairs once this one’s in the books.
