This isn't on PPV is it?

 

[sheed]

I think I read that this is going to be on Showtime.

 

[A.E]

This isn't on PPV is it?

Strikeforce doesn't do PPV's. All cards are on Showtime...with the exception of those occasional CBS shows. Even CBS we won't be seeing in a long time, if ever again.

 

[snipezo]

ok. I found it on my cable. It's on super channel lol. Looking forward to this though.

 

[sheed]

I wish I had Showtime I love watching MMA fights. Does anyone else watch Bellator when its on?

 

[MR.ballin]

no one will beat king fedor. He only lost one fight and that was a bs lost also.

 

[A.E]

Cristiane Santos might really be a man. This b*tch is unstoppable.

 

[A.E]

...some very weird and awkward tribute to Frank Shamrock...he's announcing his retirement but its almost as if Strikeforce is killing time. Many fights ending fast tonight.

 

[A.E]

HOLY FUKKKKKK!!!!!

Fedor taps to a Werdum arm-bar in the 1st. Fedor has been dethroned ladies & gentlemen. I am extremely disappointed.

 

[snipezo]

Wow. I'm shocked right now.

 

[A.E]

Overeem looks disappointed as sh_t right now. Dude spent the last 3 years training and fighting for Fedor alone, he's 1 fight away from Fedor...but Fedor loses to Werdum & now Werdum has the title shot. Werdum has beaten Overeem before as well. Where the hell does Fedor go from here?

In other news: Brock Lesnar is 1 win away from climbing to the #1 spot in the World heavyweight rankings.

fedor lost on purpose..hes ufc bound

 

[elcheato]

Brock Lesnar is the best..

 

[A.E]

fedor lost on purpose..hes ufc bound

Fat chance.

Although I cannot wait to hear what Dana has to say about this.

 

[Pugz]

i really waould give anything to see fedor dominate the ufc..

 

[Pugz]

so far all dana has had to say was '' via twitter.

 

[A.E]

Fedor will never fight in the UFC and on the contrary, he's actually done more UFC-bashing than anything else as of late. Dude has 1 more Strikeforce fight on his contract and then we're done seeing him fight in the US.

 

[jarrod2323]

he got owned, but I wouldn't be surprised there's a rematch as his last fight -- Strikeforce needs him to be dominant to attract fans

plus, with only 1 fight left on his contract and he wins the rematch, he has TONS more leverage for a bigger contract..

win-win for Strikeforce and Fedor

 

[MR.ballin]

Anyone see the chick fight? The blonde chick got abused lol. I can't believe Fedor lost. I jinxed him. Anyone see the Lee fight? Lee wrecked that guy with that kick lol
