Can't listen to the interview but heres a summary from someone
who has...
Quote:
Some key points:
"Ive never had a bad thing to say about Scott Coker" - Dana.  !
Strikeforce will continue to run separately. Business as usual almost as if nothing has changed.
Strikeforce will honor its contract with its fighters and Showtime.
Possible to UFC fighters to go to Strikeforce. Dana didn't say if Strikeforce fighters will crossover. Fedor was specifically mentioned in this regard....he will stay in SF.
Signing of Pride was a bigger deal
Women will remain on SF roster.
Deal happened b/c UFC needed more fights.
Strikeforce's relationship with FEG will continue. Coker takes care of that...not Dana.

I'm glad it will remain its own promotion, but I still don't think it will be a lasting thing.
