White hits out at “Strike-Farce”

UFC president Dana White has started his battle against Strikeforce, following his rivals signing of Fedor Emelianenko.

White also branded Strikeforce as a ‘regional show’.

“They have no money, no fighters. They’re a small-town show,” White told MMA FanHouse.

“Cung Le hasn’t defended the title since like 1997. Josh Thomson hasn’t defended the belt in like two years. Who’s their other champion? Alistair Overeem? He hasn’t defended the belt in like two years. It’s Strike-Farce. It’s a little regional show with no one in it.”

“He’ll put them out of business,” he added on the effect of Fedor joining Strikeforce.

“They have no money and no distribution. You know how many people watch their fights? Their last fight [on Showtime cable], 245,000 people watched that fight. That’s nothing.”
