It appears from this Showtime has a list of fighters on the lock down.

yep just found out....smart move on their part, i really think showtime should fucked zuffa over and when the contract runs out, they should run their own independent company

imagine their first event headlined by rousey vs cyborg

So, basically Zuffa got Zuffa'd.

It says there they have more 14 years of contract. So it will be a long time.

Yes, they did.

I read on other forums how fans think Showtime are scumbags for signing the fighters. Then what are Zuffa? They lock up all the top fighters they can get their dirty hands on. Showtime are the good guys here and I wish they sign as many Strikeforce fighters as possible.
