No Holds Barred: Scott Coker of Strikeforce
On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman speaks with Scott Coker, the CEO of the Strikeforce mixed martial arts promotion.
We spoke Wednesday afternoon, beginning by discussing the very busy schedule Strikeforce has with notable cards May 15 in St. Louis, May 21 in Portland, Oregon, June 16 in Los Angeles, and a co-promotion with M-1 Global June 26 in San Jose, California, featuring the top heavyweight and pound-for-pound mixed martial arts fighter in the world, Fedor Emelianenko. All of those cards will be televised live in the U.S. on Showtime. We also got an update as of Wednesday afternoon about when we would know the status of the May 15 Roger Gracie-Kevin Randleman fight, which may be changed due to a medical problem facing Randleman.
In addition, we discussed the issue of what anti-doping measures should be taken in combat sports, the delay of the return of Fedor from April to June during the M-1 Global-Strikeforce negotiations, the postfight brawl on the April 17 Strikeforce show on CBS and when suspensions will likely be handed down by the Tennessee Athletic Commission, where Strikeforce may recruit new fighters, the overall state of Strikeforce, and more.
