So he gets to fight another bunch of losers, and people will still claim him to be the best in the world. :lmao:

On the contrary it's a great move of Strikeforce's part and would of been a horrible move on Zuffa's behalf if they actually agreed to the terms laid out.
IIRC CBS backs Strikeforce and most casual fans remember the EliteXC events a year ago so who better to fill that void to them? Co-promotion seems to be a worthwhile sacrafice to have M-1 banners and fighters in Strikeforce and vice versa even though the Russian market for MMA is still a question mark. Let's not forget how many promotions that can possibly compete with the UFC in the last few years have bitten the bullet and Strikeforce just happens to be the one who's survived all of it so far with Scott Coker being prudent, pragmatic and amicable through all of it. This type of opportunity wouldn't have presented itself again for a long while especially with Zuffa involved so it was now or never and fortunately Strikeforce seems to be getting a good deal.
Even Dana White admits that Strikeforce is a promotion he respects because of how Coker runs everything.
P.S. Plenty of legit guys on that list. A lot of those guys might be scrubs now but at that time they were more than likely legitimate contenders.
P.P.S. UFC has the substantial HW division but there's still plenty of legit guys out there like Monson, Overeem, Werdum and maybe Rogers.

He's fought a bunch of washed up UFC guys.
