Because they are Russian Mob and they know where to find Fedor's family.

Who the heck do they have that will fight Fedor? (that people will pay to watch)

Strikeforce has been around since the mid 80's, as a kickboxing org,
and been doing MMA for 3 years now, Scott Coker isn't an idiot.
I don't think they will be taking over anytime soon,
but I don't imagine them going out of business either.

(they also hold the highest PAID attendance record for an mma event in the states)

They actually have some good fighters, and honestly I have enjoyed the last few cards.

After last week's negotiations with the UFC failed due to co-promoting demands, Fedor Emelianenko has instead signed a multi-fight deal with the UFC's biggest competitor, Strikeforce.
