M-1 Global's Jerry Millen Speaks On Strikeforce Signing Of Fedor Emelianenko

Courtesy of USA Today:

Look at what (Showtime and CBS) were able to do with a fighter like Kimbo Slice," Millen says. "Imagine what will happen once Fedor is exposed to the mainstream. Fedor could be 100,000 times bigger than a Kimbo Slice, because he's a true MMA fighter.  The audience here is huge," Millen says. "And UFC needs some competition. That's what M-1 Global and Strikeforce will bring them. Competition is good. 
This does not close the door on Fedor fighting Brock Lesnar," Millen says. "It just means now it would be Strikeforce, M-1 Global and UFC.

Good luck with that Jerry.

Fedor's happy, M-1 Global's happy, Strikeforce is happy, and fight fans should be completely happy

I'm not completely happy, but at least he'll be fighting I suppose.

In a sense

I am too…but it’s still better than him going to fight in Japan….oh wait….this is a non-exclusive deal which allows Fedor to go back and fight in Japan more than likely…

I really cant stand Gary Jerry Millen

What does he do for M-1 anyway? Is he like the head janitor or something?

Strikeforce will now be pushed to go head-to-head with the UFC… we all know the result of that, too bad really; I liked Strikeforce.

Bloody hell.

Yea
Strikeforce will now be pushed to go head-to-head with the UFC

This acquisition kind of over steps their boundaries…it’s crazy…because if you are Strikeforce…it’s something you feel you have to do if you want to make it to the next level…but at what cost?

Agreed on every single point.

Millen is so fucking clueless that with whatever statement he makes, I instantly assume that the opposite is true.

Small edit..

the end of the last sentence should be “Fedor and M-1 Global”
