So lame. His last fight is in K1 in Dec, right? Out of nowhere he schedules 4 fights and now he cant commit to 1 SF show? He should confirm a Jan or Feb date to Strikeforce!

The CBS promos have been 10 sec crap. I blink and its over. =( Didnt CBS learn not to hype 1 fighter? Yes I know hes the best but still. They should have a 30 sec spot hyping both Main and co-main.

• Combating recent Internet chatter that CBS has done little to promote the Nov. 7 "Fedor vs. Rogers" card, Coker reminded all that CBS has its own timetable in securing the casual fan outside the hardcore fanbase. In addition, Coker pointed out that CBS ran promo ads during both NFL and college football games last weekend, including the No. 1 most-watched game Saturday night between Florida and LSU. That game netted 10 million viewers.

If it was those same 10sec ads, “I am not imprez” lol. We’ll see how much better they get the closer it gets.

That doesn’t really “combat recent internet chatter”, he pretty much admits it’s true.

Walla walla walla I'm an idiot.
