It's Strikeforce. The GP already sucks *** and the scheduling was botched from the start. I fail to see why Showtime would be so set in stone that they'd rather lose any draw power of Overeem entirely than simply move his match.

It's a dead promotion anyways, so the faster Zuffa kills it, the faster Showtime can just go prop up another one.

Yeah, Showtime couldn't move to October because they all ready have boxing commitments...it was September or bust.
