Leading up to "Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogers," CBS programming executive Kelly Kahl was non-committal when asked about the future of MMA on the network. With the tarnish left behind by the network's affiliation with ProElite, parent company of the now-defunct EliteXC, some reluctance on Kahl's part was understandable. However, after Saturday night's show, MMA fans can bank on more "Saturday Night Fights" on CBS under the Strikeforce banner. First, CBS sold out its advertising inventory well ahead of the event, with blue-chip sponsors, including Pfizer, Dodge and Burger King, on board. Secondly, the main event unfolded perfectly for the network and Strikeforce.

It looked fake to me
Rebinreno,
That is an absolutely idiotic comment that you made.
It looked fake to you ?
Really ?????
Get a clue, moron.
I have to agree with FC7711!!! Rebinreno is the perfect example of "no brain, no headache".
Great show for people with IQ's of 90. How about Pro wrestling next, or Roller derby !
I'm glad the show was great for you cpo, your post would confirm your IQ at about 50. Thanks for playing!
it was ok, but who are all these guys? i hope strikeforce folds so we can watch these guys fight in the bigs (ufc).
