This is amazing. Looks like they opened a press release in Word (look at Feijao's name for example), then took a screencap of it (....) and uploaded the picture. Then they mapped a bunch of links over areas of the picture. See if you can find all of them - Ticketmaster, shosports, Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, Godaddy (??)
Hilarity ensues.
Martijn De Jong & Scott Coker each give their side of the story on The Fight Show with Mauro Ranallo source: radio.thescore.com
That's the word from Martijn de Jong, the fighters' head coach at Golden Glory, who today tweeted the news.
Middleweight striking specialist Cung Le (7-1 MMA, 7-1 SF) has openly lobbied for a spot in the UFC's planned November trip to San Jose, Calif., but Strikeforce boss Scott Coker doesn't believe that's going to happen.

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. -- MMA Fighting spoke to Fedor Emelianenko on Wednesday about his upcoming Strikeforce fight against Dan Henderson, why he decided to not retire after his loss to Antonio Silva, how many more years he would like to fight for and fighting under the Zuffa banner for the first time.
Not a lot of details but any ideas?
Forgot to mention this earlier in the week, but I'm told that matchmaker Rich Chou is no longer with Strikeforce.

This is per their twitter account. Rich Chou is/was StrikeForce's matchmaker and Scott Coker's protege. I couldn't find any additional details. Considering the difficulty StrikeForce had in putting together matches, I'm sure that some will say that if he was fired it was justified, and I don't know the situation well enough to make a judgment on that. However, this is pretty significant that Coker wasn't able to keep this guy's job, when they were supposedly very close.
