Wow. Excellent event by Strikeforce. Real exciting fights. Those that chose to watch TUF finale are probably going to kick themseles when they find out how the Strikeforce card went. My only gripe is Mauro + Shamrock = terrible commentary.

Finished event 8-5. We'll see if that's enough

...Glad I passed up TUF for this one. I had a feeling...

...Dang, DANG! Glad I passed up the TUF finale for this one. Good grief!! A KO fest! Kyle's huge right hand almost finished Silva. Big shot. If it was a Fedor punch, Silva would have been put to sleep. Robbie Lawler's right hook, on Linland, BAM! The follow up right send Matt into la la land for a while. Unreal! Paul Daley...WOW! Smith was face down, out clean-cold from that patented Daley left hook. Amazing and brutal. Finally, Hendo putting Babalu into la la land himself was awesome. Hendo's H-Bomb right hand. Ruthless ground n' pound. Strikeforce force hit the button so to speak tonight. Awesome event. Best Strikeforce event this year...:thumbsup:

Great fight Bobby! You picked 3rd best out of whole event but unfortunately you had to run your mouth and call me out :fight01:

Oh and for interest sake wanted to see what difference the undercard made. Only 2 matchups would have gone differently with Spoken and Machida Karate winning. Less of an impact then I thought they would have.



You aren't going to get off near as easy in your next fight princess. :thumb02:

Damn...i'm the only one that had only 10 picks!

How the hell i forgot about the other 3 ?!

Undercard killed me!

No problem though...i like my position in the rankings now....i can be the stalker.

I will rise!!!! Again looooool
 
#148 ·
I'm trying to fix the results of one fight on our matchups. They originally announced Bettega winning a split decision the event last night, and I used that result when I was scoring our picks. One of their judges made a mistake, though, and they later announced that his opponent Phillips had actually won that split decision. I'm not finished yet, changing everyone's scores, but most of us went down and a few have come up it seems.
 
#150 ·
They need to be smart about it. If they can actually get another CBS card in the first quarter of 2011 then that would definately help them build off of this. Also I think if they play the Mayham versus Diaz fight right then that'll work out good as well!:thumbsup:
 
#152 ·
Was in work at 6am this morning, UK time, till 3pm. Got home, chilled out for abit and then had a mamouth MMA session, watched all the TUF Finale, and then watched the full Strikeforce PPV straight after. Chuffed for Daley.

HitOrGetHit, good fight, but i told you i was going to destroy you.

I want CouchWarrior at the next event for a shot at the title. Though if either Intermission or 420atalon are too scared to fight for the title and i will fill in and gladly knocked the other out.

I edited the scores back on pg. 13 if you guys want to look them over again. Not sure if you heard about it, but at the Strikeforce event last night they announced the wrong fighter as the winner of a split decision in the Bettega/Phillips fight. The judge that scored it 29-28 for the wrong fighter corrected things after the fact and Phillips was awarded the fight. Unfortunately for our pick 'em, I used the wrong result (Bettega by split decision) in our scores. So I went back through it and took away scores from everybody who picked Bettega and added scores for everybody that picked Phillips. All that score changing affected the outcomes of two of the matchups. SpoKen really beat pipe, and attention really beat that dudeabides guy. I let those three know in a pm in case they don't see it on this thread. You can see how the ranks changed on pg. 13 also, but correcting the scores did not affect anybody in the top 3.
