7 years ago today, Dana announces that UFC bought SF ...

[FrankieNYC]

seems longer & how funny that Dana flew in Ariel to give him the exclusive

Look at that, best buds.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

That was a great time for MMA.

Lol at Ariel's fall from grace since then.

Glad to see a few former SF fighters still doing well in the UFC. Although I secretly was hoping for a Frank - Tito rematch.

I cant believe its been that long, doesnt feel like it. I remember hearing about it on Inside MMA with Anik as host so i guess it has been a long time.

How much longer did it keep having events before everyone was brought over?

Really? To me it seems longer.

UFC would be dead if it didn't buy strikeforce

DC future HW champ...no werdum, overeem
DC LHW Champ
MW Rochold, Romero, Jacare
WW Woodley champ


The UFC would be manlet fighting championship if it didn't buy strikeforce

Thank the world for Scott Coker

Back when Ariel could still walk into UFC HQ and not get the dogs sicced on him

Back when Dana still cared about MMA

Forgot how much I loved the old Friday night SF Challengers Series cards.

Seems like Krazy Horse fought Joe Boxer every week. Or was it Wachiim Spiritwolf?

Oh, and Mauro on commentary, along with Quadros and his pancake makeup.

Fuck, now I'm remembering how much I miss Strikeforce.

Strikeforce production was better then UFC

You could still see it in Bellator in another 10 years

 

[Gabe]

One of the best decisions the UFC ever made.

 

[Apollo33]

business as usual

 

[fractal]

Ariel was never his friend

 

[Prince Nephilim]

Strikeforce production was better then UFC

I don't know about better...but strikeforce was headed in the right direction.

The production was glitchy at times but they had stars, good fighter entrances and great matchmaking

 

[skylolow]

If everyone supported these dead orgs when they were around they might still be here.

I swear there must be 10+ million PRIDE fans still on the forums today talking about how great it was and Strikeforce seems to be following the same path.

 

[USA!USA!]

Time flys by, eras come and go... Ariels huge schnoz is the one constant in MMA.
