Good Card, By the way did anyone watch the fighters only mma awards, In my opinion it was a glorified jerk off for Dana. Best promotion UFC, Are you kidding me??? I like UFC but Strikeforce cards as a whole have been much better than the UFC cards as far as the type of match ups you get.
I don't think Diaz's boxing style will work on Zaromskis, he'll need to get it to the ground. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiV2CU5Gb6Y"]YouTube- Marius Zaromskis MMA Highlight Reel[/ame]
Lawler should try to get it to the ground as quickly as possible, Manhoef's striking is just on another level.
I thought Sims got a raw deal. Totally unfair on the ref's decision to stop the fight. True, he was getting pummeled, but come There wasn't any blood to speak of. He wasn't out for the count. I don't know why the ref stopped that fight.
does strikeforce try to set up fights that they know will go one way? mind you, the lawler and cyborg fights were decent, but the others, just seemed like scheduling fiascos, and 10 days notice for wes sims? you've got to be kidding me i was not impressed with strikeforce's presentation, but i did like the lawler and cyborg fight, the announcers sucked, i wanted to gouge my ears out, bobby lashley is definitely on juice, and no one was drug tested, hrrm....
Be careful, one of the announcers is Frank Shamrock. I heard he trolls these threads Lawler knocking out Manhoef:
They showed Herschel Walker's fight on one of the Super Bowl shows last night. Dude is 47 and looks about 30 for real.
Now we know why Nick Diaz is not in the UFC. Dana White thinks Diaz is a loose cannon: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M99mZwJ6hQ&]Dana White on Nick Diaz[/ame]
Dana likes Nick too, but homie goes gangsta too much. Dana was really upset about that incident in the hospital. I never heard of it myself.
