The UFC's answer to Fedor vs Rogers

I don't know if this is old news but I just saw it on UFC.com. On Nov 7 Spike is showing Couture/Nogueria, Penn/Florian, Franklin/Belfort, and Silva/Griffin. How much do you guys think this will damage the ratings for the Strikeforce event?

CBS can't pull in Kimbo numbers with a guy like Fedor. Fedor couldnt draw a dime in any of his US forays. They really havent been promoting it much either. I think the UFC will put a hurt on their CBS debut.

Well most of us have already seen all those UFC cards.

I'd pay for any show with Fedor on the card. Luckily I won't have to since it's on CBS.

The UFC will never have an answer to a national broadcasted MMA event. It's free, and it's in High Definition.
