Despite the fact that its card is better from top to bottom than the competition’s on Saturday night, Strikeforce’s Henderson vs. Babalu broadcast on Showtime will likely top off at less than half as many viewers as The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale show on Spike TV.
In an effort to win over a few sets of eyeballs who are indifferent in preference between the two cards, Showtime has released some highlight videos this week featuring main card fighters, Renato "Babalu" Sobral, Dan Henderson and Scott Smith.
Now, I only took two marketing courses in college, but wouldn’t it have been wiser to have released these videos a few weeks ago and to have more than three fighters featured in them?
Regardless of Strikeforce’s head-scratching business decisions, the shorts are pretty well done.
Check out Scott Smith’s highlight and the original Babalu-Henderson bout after the jump.
