This is a signup thread for the next Strikeforce event which takes place in three weeks, Saturday Jul. 30th at 7:30 PM EDT. The main event is a HW battle between Fedor Emelianenko and Dan Henderson from the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, IL, USA.





Anybody who likes Strikeforce can sign up, even if they have not played so far. Details on how to pick are below, same format used for UFC events in CPL. Except for one thing... you send a pick for every fight on the main card, but only for two of the fights on the preliminary card.

The scheduled fights include:

MAIN CARD

* Dan Henderson vs. Fedor Emelianenko
* Marloes Coenen vs. Miesha Tate
* Tim Kennedy vs. Robbie Lawler
* Paul Daley vs. Tyron Woodley
* Tarec Saffiedine vs. Scott Smith

PRELIMINARY CARD

* Gesias Cavalcante vs. Bobby Green
* Eduardo Pamplona vs. Tyler Stinson
* Alexis Davis vs. Julie Kedzie
* Derek Brunson vs. Lumumba Sayers
* Bryan Humes vs. Gabriel Salinas-Jones
You can send picks whenever confident with the fights. The picks should only be pm'd once unless they add, drop or change a fight on the main card. The offcial card can be seen HERE. If someone signs up and fails to send their picks, they lose their matchup and won't be cleared to fight at the next event. The deadline to send picks is when the Strikeforce event begins, approx. 7:30 PM EDT in the US.

On how to pick fights:

Select the correct fighter: 10 points
Select the correct method of win: 5 points
Method includes Submission, KO/TKO and Decision.
Select the correct round of win: 3 points
If you select the fight to end by decision then you must choose either unanimous, split or majority instead of a round. If you want to predict a rare outcome such as a DQ or a draw you may do that as well. For the DQ, include the name of the winning fighter and the round it occurred, and for a draw include the type of draw the decision was (unanimous, split or majority).

In addition you can earn bonus points for EACH fight by putting the fights in order from your most confident pick to your least confident when you PM them. If there are 10 fights on the card then your most confident pick could earn you an extra 10 points if you get it correct.
The Strikeforce CPL Grand Prix is in the 2nd round at this event. The 8 members already listed below are competing at this event.

My picks will probably be in tonight. Feeling really really confident about this event. Just need to decide on one more fight, that being the womans title match. I think Liz Carmouche found Marloes Coenens weakness in their fight, and would have won the fight if Coenen had not had pulled the sub off. I think Meisha Tate can take this via UD..

The only people that didn't send picks yet are hixxy, Ape City, and BobbyCooper. Not a rush at all yet, but don't forget to have them in before the prelims start not just the card that airs on Showtime. They say the prelims are starting in 5 1/2 hours (7:30 PM Eastern).

Thanks everybody, all the picks are in, but people still have time to sign up if they want before the prelims start. We'd just need 2 to make a matchup.

kantowrestler you might want to send another pick in place of your Lyle Beerbohm prelim pick, btw.

Nearly got Brunson perfect. Had it as my number one pick with first round ko, it ended up first round submission.

VERY bad match up if you ask me, Sayers last fight was against a fighter with a record of 2/6 where as Brunsons last fight was against a fighter with a record of 7/0..

Can't wait to find a video of that fight whenever able to:

Round 1 - Brunson swings first as the fighters trade punches. A firefight breaks out against the cage, and Brunson gets the better of it before picking up and slamming Sayers to the mat. Sayers gets back to his feet, but Brunson slams him back down after wrapping him from behind. Sayers again tries to fight his way to back his feet and does so, and another firefight breaks out with heavy blows landing. Sayers tries to pull guard with a guillotine, but Brunson pops out and takes top position. Sayers rolls to his knees as Brunson takes his back. Sayers tries to stand, but Brunson makes it difficult. Brunson instead works some punches to the ears from behind. He then takes back mount before standing and delivering more punches. They land. Sayers, though, is back up, and we reset. Brunson lands a shot that stumbles Sayers. Brunson dives in and misses and crashes head first into the cage. He's back up and then wobbles Sayers with a head kick and unloads a barrage of punches. Sayers hits his knees, and Brunson locks in a rear-naked choke to force a tap-out and end a thoroughly entertaining fight. Derek Brunson def. Lumumba Sayers via submission (rear-naked choke) - Round 1, 4:33

WoW good fights on tonight

Round 1 - "Big" John McCarthy is the man in the middle of the welterweights. Stinson unloads a combo that staggers Pamplona. No one can quite believes, and Pamplona appears to recover. But Stinson unloads a short right on the button, and Pamplona hits the mat out cold. Stinson follows with a single hammerfist before McCarthy dives in to stop it. This one ends in a quick and shocking knockout that has the crowd in disbelief.
