Hot on the heals of EliteXC’s announced partnership with CBS, Strikeforce has announced they have come to terms with NBC to produce a weekly show for the prime 2-2:30 AM time slot, following “Poker After Dark” and preceding infomercials about 17-in-one utility cutlery.
“It’s truly an honor to find ourselves in the position we are,” Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said. “I mean, we’re talking about the same TV real-estate which helped turn potato-peeling gloves and sexual-assaulting teddy bears into household items.”
The increasing MMA presence on broadcast television, without the inclusion of the UFC, is putting increased pressure on the sport’s premier organization to find footing on the public airwaves.
“I don’t give a fuck about any piece-of-shit minor league batch of no-names,” UFC President Dana White said, “and I don’t fucking give a shit if any of these motherfucking assholes want to get their fucking promotions on these fucking networks.”
Mr. White then asked if the reporter “wanted to be a fucking journalist,” and hung up.
