Jay Hieron Says He Finally Got Released From Strikeforce, Is He Returning to the UFC?

That little shit weasel Pavia got him to sign a deal with a 1 year matching period and delivered very little of what strikeforce supposedly promised him.

The market continues to fix this crap… Market forces brothers… Market forces.

Surrounding all the nonsense of Jake leaving being somehow good for Coker and Co because “he’s not a draw”… an important underlying realitiy was being missed and that is:

Shields leaving was more of a reflection of Strikeforce not being able to monetize their best fighter regardless of being a draw or not… demonstrating again the reality of Strikeforce being a gimmick promotion. No matter what kind of draw or non-draw you are the best athletes in their respective sports are monetized in the NFL, MLB, NBA and UFC. Strrikeforce like the harlem globe trotters needs gimmicks like Cung Le, hershal walker, Batista, etc…

Market forces can be a bitch sometimes and no champ clause will fix this problem for Strikeforce… unless they can comparatively monetize and therefore competitively pay the best fighters in the sport the champ clause will be nothing more than trying to place a balloon on a fire hose. That thing is gonna pop if the balloon isnt strong enough and even if it is (having very resitictive contracts) you’re gonna stop the flow of water (new fighters will opt not to sign it, existing fighters will opt not to fight for a belt, etc… thus making their existing champs less relevant) . Market forces brothers… Market forces,

Regarding gimmicks, Zuffa understood long ago (which pride failed to understand) that you cant compete with pro-wrestling in the gimmick and freak show business. No matter what, the WWE will always be able to out gimmick you, out freak show you and out choreograph you… so it’s a futile battle.

Zuffa understood that the WWE couldnt compete with the “realism” and the “sport” that could be MMA so the focus and the UFC was built on a foundation consisting of primarily the unique attributes of MMA that others couldnt compete with. That’s why the UFC didnt become a novelty which fizzled away like the pet rock. And that’s why the UFC continues to grow.

(focus on being the best at your inherent strengths instead of trying to be second best at someone else’s inherent strengths… Master your terrain instead of trying to minor in someone elses… Be an original by focusing on building the attributes unique to you rather than being a poor copy of someone else’s forte… eat a pussy a day to keep the docter away… err, you get what I mean – his gimmick shit aint gonna cut it)

Over a year ago I said UFC would add new weight classes… in truth that was the only way Showtime could have created a sustainable business model for themselves thus measures had to be taken to preempt this (or seemingly preempt it until the flank could be properly protected).

Imagine if they threw away the UFC weight classes and instead only had a super LW (162lb), Super MW (195lb) and a Cruiser weight (230lb). Automatically they would have the top 10 fighters in 3 divisions (in addition to the female divisions), not have to directly compete with the UFC for relevancy, resulting in a roster that’s more feasible to maintain, and instantly become a 1st tier league,

I thought someone would be smart enough to come up with this and move quickly enough to make it difficult for Zuffa to react at the time. You could have even raised 9 figures with this business model.

But alas, we are dealing with idiots and once again an illustration is demonstrated that Zuffa owns all the real IQ in this business.

on a side note:

Jay being ranked #14 while Nick Diaz ranked #5 further illustrates the incompetence of the MMA media.
