StrikeForce = The New Pride

[TimeToTrain]

HW division:

- Fedor Emelianenko (G.O.A.T)
- Brett Rogers (he's now known by many from last night)
- Fabricio Werdum
- Antonio Silva (very marketable due to his big dome and physique)

LHW Division:

- Gegard Mousasi (Top 3 MW, Top 5 LHW)
- Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou
- Mumammed 'King Mo' Lawal (New pick up)
- Renato 'Babalu' Sobral
- Kevin Randleman
- Dan Henderson (highly possible)

MW Division:

- Nick Diaz
- Robbie Lawler
- Jake Shields
- Cung Le
- Jason Mayhem Miller
- Evangelista Santos
- Scott Smith
- Ronaldo 'Jacare' Souza (Awesome pick up)

WW Division:

- Nick Diaz
- Jake Shields
- Joe Riggs
- Andre Galvao (New pick up like Jacare, very awesome!)
- Marius Zaromskis (This guy is a KO machine, absolute beast)
- Jay Hieron

LW Division

- Josh Thomson
- Gilbert Melendez
- Billy Evangelista
- Jorge Gurgel
- Mitsuhiro Ishida
- Vitor Ribeiro
- Shinya Aoki (highly possible)

What UFC doesn't have?

Women's division

- Gina Carano (Yummm)
- Cristiane 'Cyborg' Santos
- Kim Couture
- Kerry Vera

Glad to see an org. finally step up to the UFC after the loss of Pride. What Strikeforce now needs is a reality TV show that will attract viewers and more marketing. Man, signing King Mo, Jacare, Aoki, Galvao, Hendo, & all these great fighters will definitely raise their business up. As long as you have Fedor in your organization, nothing can go wrong and hope to see Overeem come back.

And also, no Yakuza's this time

The UFC will claim all these fighters suck but if they want Phil Baroni in the UFC they must badly want some of the fighters you listed.

Strikeforce-Dream union is as awesome.

We get to see Alistair in a ring, then in a cage, then in a ring again.

We get to see top quality heavy weights batter each other in strikeforce and then we can turn to dream with their elite lightweights.

They need to sign more Heavyweights.

After Fedor beats Werdum (which im not even to interested in TBH) who is he gonna fight?

Also they should sign Tim Sylvia....lol I know but still.

I wish Dream, Strikeforce and MFC all worked together that would be badass.

I agree it's nice to see some competition, but you have quite a lot of cast-offs on that list.

Take Fedor, Mousasi and Shields off that list and what do you really have?

Also, the "highly possibles" don't count yet.

Someone needs to post a pride 2005 roster, I don't have the time, but it blows any strikeforce roster out of the water.

This. PRIDE was is 15x the org Strikeforce is. Their MW and WW divisions are a complete joke, and while they have Fedor, the HW division is more lacking than the UFC's back in 2004.
