That was the best thing to happen to MMA in a long time. Fedor won't hog the number 1 ranking now based on "he's fedor lol". I was expecting his loss to be to Overeem but as soon as Werdum fell backwards with the feint I knew something wasn't right. Oh well. Overeem is going to beat Werdum and Fedor will probably get his last fight reserved for the champ or they'll throw him Antonio Silva so he can retire with a win.
Short term, financially it makes no sense for Coker to put on Overeem vs Werdum right now. Neither of them have a ton of drawing power to the average fan. He was talking PPV before this fight and that match up will not cut it. I think we will see an immediate rematch, I truly believe Fedor will win the 2nd time and then Overeem vs Fedor will be PPV worthy. Fedor has been fighting for a very long time with no loss to get him motivated like most top guys have been through. I expect the pressure to subside (even though he says there is none), the fire to re-light and a beast of a man to come out of this. Is he more skilled than Overeem? Definitely. Will the physical strength of Overeem be too much? Thats the million dollar question. The only issue with this plan is that if Fedor is beat by Werdum, or Overeem we could see StrikeForce go the way of EliteXC after putting all their eggs in one basket. It might be smarter for them to go ahead and start building a true division, not a showcase division to highlight one man. Its a gamble either way and Im sure Dana White is loving every minute of it.
