    For the first time.....ever. Im very excited about a strikeforce event. Im gonna laugh when Overeem knocks out Werdum in about a minute so people will stop acting like he is a top 3 guy in the division becuase he beat a 79 year old Fedor who couldnt handle half of the UFC Heavyweight Division. Reem is the real deal, and i hope he gets over to the UFC side soon.

    cormier, Barnett and carano and i dont even know who shes fighting you know they are going to do their best to get her that win to get back on the horse.... King mo/ osp and fabricio/overeem no plays even though i think mo and overeem win wouldnt surprise me if the dog won. But those first 3 are solid cormier will control his way to u dec... Josh by sub world class grappler vs a novice grappler... Carano by ko

    Not really, i didnt think Daley really even had a chance. Ive just never been a strikeforce guy, and its annoying when they talk like the Strikeforce Heavyweights (outside of Reem) could even hang with the UFC guys.

    I think TBA has very solid shot, this time. What do you think +180? Anything higher and I'm all in on it

    I could see barnett by sub being an unusually high negative money, for a prop.

    Yes, yes he did. Not really that surprising though, Brett Rogers is a journeyman quality fighter himself. He just happened to be in the right place at the right time against two extremely overrated fighters.

    Neither am I, but I'm even less impressed with St. Preux; relative to the hype he has received, especially from those dolt SF announcers... "OSP"... srsly?

    Recently dethroned Strikeforce light heavyweight champion Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante and surging prospect Ovince St. Preux will reportedly square off this summer.

    According to a Wednesday report from MMAFighting.com, the bout is being targeted for an as-yet-unannounced July Strikeforce event. Officials from the promotion have yet to speak on the matchup or card, which is also rumored to host a welterweight scrap between former title challenger Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos and Team Quest representative Tarec Saffiedine.


    ???? Huh? So Ovince is not fighting King Mo, it looks like....I wonder who is.

    Gina Carano vs. TBA

    Too bad she pulled out, but I think she should still be required to attend weight ins and buck down.

    Marc Ratner, Zuffa's vice president of regulatory affairs, informed MMA Fighting on Sunday that Zuffa, the new parent company of the Strikeforce, has decided that all tournament fights ending in a draw will now be settled by a fourth sudden death round.

    Bodog had Barnett at -340 this morning. Just checked again and he's at -500 now. I really need to switch to 5Dimes.

    Fairly confident. Griggs' technique is poor but he throws with a lot of power; should be enough to stop Valentijn who tends to quit after taking one or two power punches.

    i was thinking rogers just struggled with some journeyman in another promotion (although rogers did win)... i'm just too lazy to look it up right now

    barnett inside distance or by sub if I can't find decent moneyline...

    should be a good card...

    JZ is just 1-3, 1 NC in the last 3 years & the win was a split decision. Wilcox is a prospect on the rise. This could be the 155 version of Story/Alves.

    I'm real excited about this card, going re-subscribe to showtime for it.

    Could you guys see Barnett being about to out strike Rogers if for some reason he has problems getting the fight to the ground?

    Barnett is a capable striker. he doesn't want to strike with Rogers obviously but it is not an automatic win for Rogers on the feet. I could see Barnett tiring him out and getting a KO.
