While not yet officially announced, Strikeforce has a hold on the HP Pavilion in San Jose for a show on Dec. 12, and former football great Herschel Walker, during an appearance on ESPN2, tabbed mid-December for when he would like to make his MMA debut.

Strikeforce promoter Scott Coker earlier this week said that Dec. 12 was only a tentative date. But if the date proceeds, it would be the first time a Showtime MMA event would go head-to-head with a UFC pay-per-view card.

yeah, not smart IMO. At least not with a Showtime show. Now if they did it with their CBS show, pretty smart move IMO but not with showtime.

The thing about the UFC is that it rewards loyalty with events every month. Strikeforce may be able to use Walker to go after the UFC during one event, but the people that they draw only end up wondering when the next event will be.
