The last time Strikeforce appeared on CBS, Jason “Mayhem” Miller jumped into the cage and touched off a melee with Jake Shields’ corner that gave the sport a black eye. Scott Coker hasn’t given up hope on a return to network television.
“CBS is still out there. It’s going to be the matter of getting the right card to them. The Mayhem Miller thing didn’t help. It’s a much bigger issue than you might have imagined. It was definitely an issue. It took months to get resolved.”
Another Strikeforce star, Gina Carano, had to pull off that card because of medical issues. Coker said he would open to having her on the July 30 card, but doesn’t know what her timetable is.
“I know she was scheduled to do more testing. I heard her doctor wouldn’t clear her to fight. it’s the same doctor who cleared her two weeks ago.”
