Best event of the year so far imo, loved it.

SO many pluses it was unbelievable, one great plus was best refereeing I have ever seem in an MMA event, SF a have really took steps to make sure there fights stay active in the clinch and on the ground, perfect timing by refs when separating fighters and bringing fights back to the feet, was a joy to see.

Pretty good event.Cavalcante impressed me with his striking hadnt really heard much about him had actually heard more about Britt but was good while it lasted and a sweet KO.Gracie impressed IMO used his size very well and finished it on the ground when he was supposed to.Jacare vs Villasenor was alright Jacare dominated but looked to gas in the third and Joe's ablitity to not get finished or submitted impressed big time but I still think he got dominated.Silva vs Arlovski wasnt as good as I thought it would be but man did Silvas hands look good or is Arlovski that bad some of Silvas shot I thought Arlovski was done could have done without aton of the cage hugging but Silva was impressive but Arlovski needs to change something up its not working anymore for him.All Rodgers had was a punchers chance and Overeem literally threw him around like a rag doll Overeem looked great from the 1st round we got and the comparisions of Rogers and Alexander are oh so true now.Come on Strikeforce lets make Overeem vs Fedor happen

Good call on the reffing bro. I was this close to thinking that Herb Dean was the best in the bizz, Big John officially bitch slapped that thought outta my head tonight. The UFC and NSAC seriously need to make buddies with this dude again, he is very, very good at what he does.

^^^strikeforce doesnt have anything to do with that. the refs are employees of the state commission and don't take orders from the promotion.

The ref standing up Jacare with a minute left in the final round was a bit questionable -- he was being active. But other than that, yeah, they did a solid job imo.

Poor Arlovski. Dude just doesn't seem to "have it" any more. At least he proved he does have a chin tonight though.

Overall good show.

Just watched the Overeem-Rogers fight, and man that was impressive from Overeem. I've never seen anyone throw Brett Rogers around like that. Overeem completely dominated all facets of the game. Out-struck Rogers, out-grappled him and then smashed him on the ground. I think Fedor's found himself a legitimate contender, as I expected Overeem to be. I think he provides a good style match-up to Fedor, with high-level K1 striking and a very competent grappling game. Fedor needs to run through Werdum so we can see Overeem vs Fedor at the end of the year.

Fedor will be ducking overeem again, and then most likely, overeem will move to the UFC.

Wow first time in a long time, that I went 4/4 :thumb02:

And seriously, I will drop Fedor from my 25 p4p list, if he doesn't fight Overeem after Werdum!

I will bet a lot of real money on Overeem if this fight happens! Fedor can only win with a lucky shot..

I also enjoyed this card. Watched it in HD and boy is that a great luxury to have. I was disappointed with Rogers performance, but then impressed with Overeem at the same time. I guess Rogers has been overhyped being that Strikeforce (and Elite XC) didn't really have anyone else to attempt to 'carry the torch' per se. He can knock you out, but he looks slow, and today he looked overpowered significantly which was surprising to me.

His ground game is obviously pretty non-existent and Overeem just outclassed him embarassingly. Rogers was 1/14 on punches? lol, that's horrendous.

Fedor's a joke if he doesn't fight Overeem after Werdum. (And no, I don't think Werdum is a walk-over but I do expect Fedor to beat him).
