UFC officials: Elbow strikes coming to Strikeforce, broadcast teams to remain intact

Ultimate Fighting Championship executives today said that Showtime will retain control over the broadcast and look of Strikeforce events.

UFC co-owner and executive Lorenzo Fertitta said the Strikeforce fighters now will compete under the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts, which allow the strikes.
