RIP Strikeforce.

2-1
+2.61 units.


And Mousasi ruined that parlay. If he is the only loser on that original bet, I am going to find Mousasi and put him in a locked room with a group of NCAA wrestling champs.

[Luke]

My own fault .I got greedy .I should have only made this a 1 unit play.


Shields actually started the craziness by pushing Miller.I honestly thought this fight would go how round 1 did

You handle losses a lot better than I do.

Cant go on tilt thats how I use to bet and how I use to lose my bankroll time and time again.


There's nothing you can do expect go on to the next fight.I'm not even mad,more disappointed than anything

[SPX]

RIP Strikeforce.

Was it really that bad of an event?

Mousasi/Mo sucked, but Gil dominated, and Shields pulled the upset.

Not every fight can have a knock out.

I don't know. I thought it was terrible. All 3 fights were completely boring at point. All 3 guys I wanted to win lost. The "mayhem" after the card.

Trainwreck.

Yeah, Dana doesn't care if something harms the reputation of MMA, as long as it hurts his competitors more than it hurts him.

The problem is that it's hard to determine if Hendo losing is a good thing. After all, Hendo just shut down Bisping and beat Franklin--both current UFC fighters--so what does it say that he lost to Jake Shields?

Pretty sure he's referring to the overall atrocity.

Like I said a few posts above, I don't think it was a bad event. In fact, I think it was an improvement over past CBS events in that the commercials were kept under control this time.

As for the craziness at the end, hell, that's gotta be good for ratings. . .

[poopoo333]

Sorry to all the guys that lost majorly on Hendo by the way. My half unit gone would have been better then all of your guys' major bets.

I'm not sure I even like MMA anymore after that bullshit.

OK, imagine this: What if all of the championship fights from UFC 111, UFC 112, and Strikeforce Nashville had been three round fights instead of 5 rounders? Don't you think that would have massively boosted the entertainment value of each card? Fans can usually take a boring 3 round fight; it's when they also have to sit through two extra rounds of lopsided top control or dancing around that it feels intolerable. Fights rarely get finished in the 4th and especially 5th rounds anyway. Maybe they should just kill the 5-round fight idea.

Like it or not MMA is turning into the new WWE.With signings of James Toney,Walker ,Kimbo,Lesnar,Lashley its all about entertainment anymore than the fighting

Just rewatched the chaos Jason Miller asked where his rematch was then Shield pushed Miller,then Gilbert Melendez pushed Miller,Jake Shields then punched Miller and Miller tired to hit everyone in the Shield camp.Then Diaz and the rest of Shields camp rushed Miller and took him to the ground while they punched and kicked Miller.Once Miller was on the ground up to 7 of Shields camp were punching/kicking him at the sametime while 2 staff and one looks like promoter tried to break it up

I think the problem was moreso that this was amateur hour. King Mo, Mousasi, Hendo, and Shields were all gassed in the 3rd round.

[Ludo]

At least two debates have been settled.

1. American MMA>Japanese MMA
2. No way would Aoki even get BJ Penn to break a sweat.

Don't think Shields punched Miller. It looked like Nate Diaz over his back.

I like to have some showmanship.

Honestly, I don't ever want to see MMA go 100% mainstream. It's not boxing, it's not the NFL, it's not the NBA. That shit with Mayhem? I loved it. MMA should always retain a degree of irreverence to keep it at least mildly offensive to average people.
