I think all MMA fans are hoping that influx of cash will facilitate a Fedor move to the UFC. One can only hope...

have to catch up o watching the 2 Struikeforce Challengers I recorded last week and the UFC Fight Night from Monday.

It would happen, just a matter of when, if Abu Dhabi were calling the shots(i.e. Manchester City)

Cash was never the sole issue, Fedor's team always wants control and certain considerations as well. Mostly, they want enough say where they can jump ship to someone with more cash or less stringent contracts, and to get more of their fighters exposure.

My thinking was a little cash may make M-1 go away.

Mousasi is going to be training with GSP a little bit while GSP prepares for Hardy.

Mousasi Joins St. Pierre's Camp, Eyes 'King Mo' Next

Mousasi is really talented. Hopefully for us fight fans he makes his way into the UFC in the future. But for now there's some solid fights in Strikeforce to be made, starting with King Mo. I don't know if King Mo is ready for such a big jump up in competition but he has a lot of tools and athleticism. Should be a very fun fight to watch.

I've only seen Mousasi's fights against Sokodjou and Babalu, but he looked great against both. Not sure how many fights are left for him in Strikeforce outside of King Mo and Hendo. Would be nice to see him in the UFC. I seem to recall him something about the UFC tried to get him but M-1 mislead him about the contract. Ah well, he'll be there soon enough.
