MMARated Radio recently taped a show with Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker to preview Friday night's Gilbert Melendez vs. Josh Thomson card. In addition to hyping the event, Coker dropped some interesting nuggets of information on us: * There have been preliminary talks between Strikeforce and NBC to air a live event sometime in the future * Kickboxing star Raymond Daniels has signed an exclusive MMA deal with Strikeforce but is free to continuing fighting for Chuck Norris' World Combat League if he pleases. * The next Strikeforce at the Playboy mansion show will take place the weekend of September 19th. * Kazuo Misaki will be making his Strikeforce debut on the Playboy card. Also scheduled to fight at the mansion is Renato "Babalu" Sobral, the winner of Thomson/Melendez and, assuming his visa issues are straightened, Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos. * No word on which network will air the Playboy show but Coker did not rule out the possibility of it airing on the station that boasts a peacock as its logo. Check back tomorrow for the special edition of MMARated Radio featuring Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker.
