Strikeforce and NBC in bed together?

The fast growing MMA organization known as Strikeforce is coming to NBC. News of the deal was announced today by mmajunkie.com. Presumably the show will run on Saturday nights once a week. This deal will mean that the Strikeforce showings will probably beat EliteXC to the punch as the shows are said to be scheduled starting sometime this April.

The Strikeforce deal could be an even bigger blow to UFC's president Dana White who failed to reach an agreement with NBC. According to mmajunkie.com, executives at NBC weren't exactly thrilled with the idea of working with Dana.

Although Strikeforce is California based, it has already attracted international attention and is considered have better MMA talent than the EliteXC organization. The NBC deal will undoubtedly help foster the growth of Strikeforce in the near future.
