Rashad is gonna get killed by Thiago Silva.

Maybe, but what makes you say that? They both got killed by Mach.

Thiago does have a good win over Jardine, both of which are probably higher in the ranks than lil'nog at the moment.

yep some pretty awesome fights as has been the case with strikeforce of late. on the heels of 107 it's an embarassment of riches. too bad no prangley for lawler.

Losing Prangley off a card is never a bad thing.

And even the worst UFC card will be better than any card that features Matt Lindland.
 
But the fight might not happen now. Or happen on like two days notice. Oh well I'm gonna enjoy it even if it doesn't have Mousasi this time. And no Shields so that's a winner in my book.

crap thanks for telling me. card looking pretty damn good.
 
lawlers bout cancelled, what a freaking bummer. i mean, i cant say i really like the guy, i actually really DISLIKE him, but i still wanted to see him fight.
 
WEC 45 and SF: Evolution air airing at the same time for me, so i'm gonna catch the WEC card first and watch the DVR'd SF. WEC 45 looks sick, can't wait for the Jorgensen/Mizugaki fight.

Thiago is a scary dude, the guy is gonna be unleashed. Machida got his number and called his mom, but i'm telling you, i have a feeling this dude is about to break out.

Could be. It was an impressive comeback fight after the lost to Mach.
 
Dana said winner of Thiago vs Rashad will get Rampage but will they just do Rampage vs Rashad regardless of who wins?

This is 10x worse than the Year of the Upset.

At least those were fights that actually happened.

ya it sucks for the fans big time, but it serves dana white right for being such a fuckstick

think about that, 4 ufc champs have been shelfed for a pretty long time due to injury, GSP with the groin, Silva with the elbow, Machida with his hand or ribs, Brock with his intenstines

then you have Chuck who semi retired, ufc lost Dan Henderson, Wanderlei Silva has been out for a long time with that ridiculous plastic surgery on his face, Rampage walked out on the ufc before their memphis pay-per-view

its been a huge string of bad luck for the ufc, and all these mediocre cards is a result of a greedy business model, i think they should scale back to like 8 payperviews and do more shows for free tv like spike or just man up and get a network deal, if strikeforce can get on cbs, the ufc can do better

I like monthly ufc even if the cards are medicore. I watch ppv's at the bar so it doesn't bother me. And I'd rather ufc stay in business then give out free cards at a lost. Sure it's greedy, but it's the only model that survives. Are they overly greedy? I don't think so but the right facts could change my mind. I haven't seen much of them though.
 
I honestly think it's how cut happy the UFC is with it's roster that's causing all these pullouts. Fighters are so scared of losing their job that they refuse to go out there and fight even slightly injured, and why should they?

Logan and Natasha fired.

I haven't been noticing this. Who's been cut from ufc for losing lately?

Logan was cute but Natasha was gone too quick.

It probably already says this in that link, but apparently Logan and Natasha were interviewed on Fox and mentioned that they thought Koscheck was faking being poked in the eye and that's why they got the boot. Kos tweeted about the situation after they got fired and said "they wher dog shit anyway".

Sadly, I thought Kos was faking too. The initial camera angles made it appear as if he blocked with his forearm. Don't cut me, Joe Silva!
 
rumble got poked way way way worse and was given like two seconds to recover versus kos's 15 mins or whatever the hell he wound up taking
 
I always liked Logan way better than Arianny. Arianny has a hot body, but her face looks kind of bloated to me, and Logan has a nicer smile. Just imo.
 
I'd watch Logan over Koscheck in any card they put together. No hesitation. Dumb.

Oh, they just had hearings about MMA pirating over the internet on Congress. John Conyers and Fertita got to pretend that they weren't scum.

Man fuck that. They have bigger fish to fry in congress right now and zuffa is doing just fine. A stream doesn't last 10 minutes online.

Everyone I watched it with thought he was faking, even my friend who likes Kos. I admit he deserves credit for improving a great deal since TUF, but I've disliked him since that show. He practically bragged about laying n praying just to get the win, and he fucked with Leben just to be a dick (I also disliked Leben on the show, but why fuck with him).

I'd rather see Rumble fight GSP, but Johnson is young, he'll be around for a while. It was his fault for throwing the knee in the first place.

Nick Diaz vs Marius Zaromskis for the Strikeforce 170 pound title, January 30th.


Hell of a fight right there.
Click to expand...
Holy FUCK that will be epic.

Just watched the HDNet rerun of the DREAM Welterweight GP tonight.

Zaromskis is a BEAST.

Isn't that a pretty quick turnaround between events for Strikeforce?

I got cung le, souza, and cowboy parlay for all the fights going on. pleeeease say cung le comes in without ring rust.
Click to expand...

Given that Cung's fights are generally works, I don't think you have much to worry about.
 
The ring girls really need to mix up, i'm getting tired of the boy shorts.


My picks for the Strikeforce event

-Cung Le (6-0) vs. Scott Smith (16-6)
-Josh Thompson (16-2) vs. Gilbert Melendez (16-2)
-Matt Lindland (21-6) vs. Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza (10-2)
-Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal (5-0) vs. Mike Whitehead (24-6)
-Robbie Lawler (18-5; #7 Middleweight)* vs. TBA
