The UFC’s marketing muscle has already given a boost to Strikeforce, according to CEO Scott Coker.

On Wednesday Coker told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that the first Strikeforce commercial to air on a UFC broadcast prompted a surge in ticket sales for “Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley.”

The executive believes the promotional push will drive ticket sales even higher when the final tallies are in.

“We’re right around 4,000,” Coker said of current ticket sales.
