Who should get the title shot against JDS to replace Overeem?

(1/7) > >>

rayallen0:
I hope Overeem/JDS still happens but Mir is the #1 option.

Sikotic™:
Dana hates Fedor so that'll never happen. I think it would be an interesting exchange though.

Barnett and Cormier are still in the running for the Strikforce title right?

I'd like to see Hendo personally, but Dana has always had a hard on for Mir, so he'll likely get it.

rayallen0:
ya but Dana said even worse things about Kimbo and then signed him.

as for strikeforce i feel like Dana would cancel it on a whim if it was for the UFC.

Mir deserves the shot not just cuz of Dana liking him. He beat Nelson, Cro Cop & Big Nog. and he broke big nogs fucking arm. He has never fought JDS before either. Dana promised to keep the Cain/Mir fight though so wouldn't be suprised if A. He knew Overeem would be cleared to fight or B. He already talked to Hendo and set it up.

I don't even understand the purpose of Strikeforce anymore if Dana is just gonna gut the organization and throw all of their good fighters into the UFC. Unless he's using it as a feeder organization or something.

You did make a good point about Mir's recent wins. Though Cro Cop is over the hill, the big nog fight and Nelson fight were impressive. I really have no beef if that fight happens.

rayallen0:
Well he is leaving Gilbert Melendez in Strikeforce...which is a weird ass choice considering Lightweight is one of the weakest divisions in the UFC.

Strikeforce is getting rid of the heavyweight division entirely after the Cormier vs. Barnett fight.

Werdum is also in the running but he already fought JDS and it didn't go very well. so think Mir is the clear cut choice. Mark Hunt may get it because he has a lot of fans asking for it and dana does listen to the fans.
