If you happen to be a fan of both the NFL and MMA, you're going to love this. As long as you're in, or able to get to the Bay Area a couple of times in the near future, Strikeforce has an offer that might be too good to pass up. 

The Oakland Raiders/Strikeforce Sports pack allows fans to purchase one upper reserved ticket to the Strikeforce "Carano vs. Cyborg" at the HP Pavilion in San Jose on August 15th and one upper reserved ticket to the Oakland Raiders' September 27th home game against the Denver Broncos. The total price is $62, which represents a substantial discount off the combined individual ticket prices. 

Just in case you're not already familiar with the August 15th Strikeforce event, let's just say that it might end up being the biggest fight of the year (I say that as I'm in Las Vegas covering UFC 100) with no fewer than four title fights on the card, including the historic women's bout between Gina Carano and Cris "Cyborg" Santos. The Oakland Raiders certainly need no introduction and the fact that the game included in this package comes against the Broncos means that fans will get to take part in one of the NFL's biggest rivalries. 

It's no secret that MMA and the NFL have countless fans in common, so promotions like this may become even more common in the future. They certainly should, because in this case, everybody wins.
