NBC and Strikeforce to Announce Partnership -- MMAjunkie.com Exclusive

NBC and Strikeforce will soon announce a deal that will give the quickly growing mixed-martial-arts organization a weekly presence on major network television.

Sources close to the deal tell MMAjunkie.com that a formal announcement of the partnership is expected within the next week. However, Strikeforce executives didn't return phone calls from MMAjunkie.com requesting comment.

The NBC-Strikeforce deal comes just weeks after CBS and ProElite, Inc. announced a formal partnership that will put four annual EliteXC events on primetime television. The first EliteXC-CBS event is expected to air in May. And though it won't be a live event, Strikeforce could actually beat EliteXC to the airwaves.

Me to, I thought NBC signed them for a Strike Force sitcom or something.

I'd watch everyweek and buy the series on DVD sight unseen!

I, too, thought of Martel and Santana.

The WWE should do a reunion of them, for one night only. Wrestlemania Rewind night next year, maybe. Put them against Demolition. They disagree all through the match, and, after Demolition beats them again, they let their old grudge come to a head and start beating one another up, as Ax and Smash look on in amazement.
