from mmaweekly:
MMAInsider has just learned from Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker that the deal to purchase Pro Elite assets has closed.
Check back on MMAWeekly.com for details as they become available.
Ted's Take: So, what does this mean? Well, for starters, we'll be seeing some of the same fighters who fought for Pro Elite, like Robby Lawler, Scott Smith, and Gina Carano. Do I really have to say, "Hopefully not Kimbo Slice?"
Of course there are tons of questions. I wonder if Strikeforce will call it Strikeforce, or if they'll keep the Pro Elite brand separate, but then just share fighters? What about belts between the two organizations? Will they try to unify them, or keep them separate? Will Strikeforce get the same deal that Pro Elite had with Showtime and CBS? I could go on, but I'm sure it will all come clearer in the weeks to come.
