They don't give us enough warning as to when the upcoming fights will take place (or who will be fighting). As of now, no major shows have been booked. We have no idea who's fighting in March, if there even is card taking place. For Heaven's sake, the famed April 17th Fedor card hasn't even been made official. If Strikeforce wants to become legit, they gotta stop doing this. Just compare Strikeforce's upcoming spring season to the UFC. Professional versus amateur.

I don't know what they've officially announced yet...but the next major event is supposed to be in April. This will be a CBS event featuring which could feature Fedor vs Werdum, Shields vs Hendo and a couple other fights.
They've gone on record talking about this show in the past, but they do fail to set matches in advance alot. TBA with a week to the fight is bulls---.

they dont announce their dates i think because if they announce them to early ufc will counter program them. they need to wait til ufc has an event booked so they dont have to compete for viewers..

yea Vollmey is spot on with his post above ^^^^^ its another one of Strikeforce's challangers card.
Completely agree with original post unless you are a frequent visitor to Strikeforce.com you have no idea on what is going on in their schedule and to be fair even on their website its dull with some amature pre fight vids no real build up. I think the problem is a card like this is barely exciting to us hardcore fans and there is literelly nothing to get fairweather fans excited so they probably just decide to save the money rather than try and push it when in honesty its never guna generate that much love. Strikeforce still hugely rely on their big name stars to hook people in so even the best up and coming or not so well known fighters (Jacare, Tyron Woodley etc) on the brand are most likely going to be put on the shows with the big stars headlining as this will gain them a lot more acknowledgement than having them on these shows.

i am a big fan of strikeforce, i like it what they are doing but still i will give credit when credit is earned and i agree with this thread, this is one of the biggest flaws for strikeforce, not having the cards with a good amount of time in place.
i think they need to give the cards with more time so they can sell those better and making more publicity.

They've rarely announced full cards early. Main events, but not full cards. Nothing to do with the UFC.

on this again you got it wrong jak, like always when a strikeforce and zuffa talk came in.
strikeforce has been said that one of the reasons to not said the full card is that in fact the UFC has been counter program them in every card, personally i think is a bad move for strikeforce to make this move since i dont see who this will help them to attack the counter program from zuffa.
so it has to do something with the UFC, they alredy admitd this

SF has been around for years. Seriously get over it. I get that you've just started watching it and are now riding the wagon, but get some facts first.
SF is not doing anything they haven't been doing for years. The UFC doesn't even counter program with live cards they stick reruns of PPV's on so SF has no reason to hide their cards.
I get it, you're trying to hype "anti SF vs. Anti UFC".... makes people feel cool to do that. BUT YOU ARE WRONG. SF HAS NEVER ANNOUNCED ENTIRE CARDS IN THE SAME FASHION THE UFC HAS!
GET OVER IT!
Jebus people got thick skulls. :roll:

My biggest pet peeve is that they haven't managed to figure out how to get undercard fights on the main broadcast. If 3 fights end in the first round, you should be able to get an undercard fight on the broadcast.

just for you to know strikeforce has been in the espn latin america channel since the begining, i saw his shows since the days of shamrock vs gracie, shamrock vs baroni etc.. so yes i have been a fan for a long time since strikeforce has been around espn latin america channel for a years
thats your problem, you think you know every thing and you are the god of mma and point facts where there is no fact at all like this for example, i am not one of the old guys in this forum but i am not a rookie in MMA world either but without having any doubt you make posts like this.
hahahahaha honestly, the reasons of why you still are a mods in this forum is a big mistery

100% backed. I realize that SF has been trying to build a brand identity that's distinct from Zuffa product, but so far not much they've tried (those silly animations, WAY too much interviewing) has been working. There was so much downtime on the last CBS card that I got bored and started channel surfing. They need to be showing fighter entrances (unless they can't afford the music licensing?) and padding out the broadcasts with undercard fights when possible.
Also, they need Bas on the announce team like a fish needs water.

Yeah I agree sometimes they do delay announcing their cards. We do know who's fighting in march though, it's right on the main page of their website and tickets are already available.
http://www.strikeforce.com/events/challengersfresno2.html
March 26th Challenger series
LAVAR JOHNSON VS LOLOHEA MAHE
ABONGO HUMPHREY VS GEORGE BUSH III
LUKE STEWART VS ANDREW GALVAO
ZOILA FRAUSTO VS MIESHA TATE
JUSTIN WILCOX VS BRYAN TRAVERS
I think one really good reason they don't announce their big cards too far in advance though is because they don't want the UFC to have time to counter with a live event of their own. Pretty smart move on Strikeforce. It is a little annoying though when you are considering buying tickets for an event though and the lineup still has a bunch of TBA's on it. I don't think it's that big of a deal though, I like the fights they've been putting on lately, I think they are doing a pretty good job overall.
