 For a company that was considered the darling of the MMA world in 2009, Strikeforce seems to have lost their way a bit in 2010. Time and again it seems their management has banked on fights going a certain way, only to watch them not pan out. We all know about the Shields/Hendo debacle and the Fedor/Werdum shocker. Now there are rumblings of future bad decisions in the works, like ignoring Werdum’s win and setting up Fedor/Overeem anyways. There have been several bad decisions made by Strikeforce since gaining their Showtime and CBS deals, but I feel more than anything the handling of their belts is really making them seem like a second-rate organization. So what should they do in order to get back on track?

 Some people choose to measure the explosion of Mixed Martial Arts by the attention it receives in the mainstream media, or the popularity of the fighters, or the money the sport is now bringing in. However, one true measure of how far the sport has come is the sheer volume of MMA cards taking place week in and week out in 2010. It could be a full-time job just trying to keep track of the results of all the MMA goings on (and is, for some), and trying to watch all the fights that take place during a single weekend is an incredibly daunting task.

 It took ten years, almost to the day for Fedor Emelianenko to build his legacy. He went a full decade without ever legitimately losing a fight. He was once eliminated from a tournament due to a cut, but he had never truly tasted defeat. Many saw him as unbeatable, many saw him as a flawless fighter who could win a fight no matter the odds. Size, strength, style, none of these things mattered against Fedor, who would always find a way to win. In just 69 seconds, Fabricio Werdum made all that go away with a triangle-armbar combination. There was no controversy to the outcome, it was undisputable; Fedor Emelianenko lost his first legitimate fight as a professional, and for the MMA landscape, this changes everything.
