It looks like Showtime and Zuffa are going all-in with Strikeforce’s final push at staying alive.
The latest promo for the March 3 Strikeforce: Tate vs. Rousey event is fantastic. It might even be better than the “Sympathy for the Devil” UFC on Fox promo.
It’s safe to say that the UFC’s marketing department is making the decisions now, so the question is, where is Zombie Scott Coker?
What Happened Next
Strikeforce: Tate vs. Rousey on 3 March 2012 was the night Ronda Rousey became a star. She armbarred Miesha Tate in the first round to win the women’s bantamweight title, and her popularity convinced Dana White to launch a UFC women’s division.
Rousey became the UFC’s first women’s champion and headlined UFC 157 in February 2013, the first UFC event with a women’s main event. Tate later won the UFC title herself in 2016. Promos like this one were an early sign of how hard the UFC’s marketing machine would push Rousey.
