IMO, this is total B$ and only hurts the sport in the end. There was a time, not too long ago, when these mergers were declared monopolies and dealt with as such.
I challenge anyone to show me an org that the UFC has acquired that haven't been dissolved within a year. And even if they keep StrikeFarce around, they will never let it reach the success of UFC and will treat it like the minor league.

I think this is great news! I love having all the top talent under one roof. Nobody complains that the NFL has all the best football players. Strikeforce, and all the other promotions for that matter, are the minor leagues anyways.

The question I have is what are the guys that don't want to be in the UFC going to do? Overeem wont be able to do K-1 in UFC, Barrent talked a lot of shit about Dana White, Dan Henderson that didn't like the way he was treated there. I guess they'll have to go to Dream in Japan or something.

Good interview ith Dana here that answers a fair few preliminary questions.... things will change over time no doubt, (eg Im sure than in a few years when there is a sufficient quantity of high quality women fighters, then we'll see a womens division in the UFC), but for now, looks like in Danas words 'business as usual' http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/blog/cagewr ... =mma-wp105
