Strikeforce Challengers tonight

[Luke]

Anyone got any leans?

I am looking into Rockhold, based on a suggestion. He had no trouble with Jesse Taylor (who is as good or better wrestler than Bradley). Bradley is the guy that kicked out of teh TUF house a few seasons back because he had herpes. He is basically just a wrestler. Rockhold appears to be pretyy dynamic and has already shown he can beat the LNP style.

[Mr. IWS]

I got nothing on this one.

[SPX]

Rockhold did indeed look good against Taylor, but I don't know anything about Bradley.

Also, is Karl Amoussou supposed to be some kind of a bad ass? Why is he such an underdog here? I've never even heard of his opponent.

[MMA_scientist]

How can you have never heard of Trevor Prangley? You would probably know him if you saw him. He has been around forever. He fought in several UFCs (I think) and was a top 10 at one point. He is extremely well rounded, durable and tough. I think the line is based on Prangley's proven track record against top tier opposition. Amassou is supposed to be good too, but so far is relatively untested. Prangley can give anyone in the world a good fight.

Bradley was on TUF 8 I think. He was winning his fights and then got kicked off for herpes gladiatorum. Dana was bitching about his fights, saying "just what we need, another lay and pray wrestler" but he was winning.

[MMA_scientist]

Pulled the trigger on Rockhold. He stuffed several takedowns by Taylor. And was able to get back to his feet and threaten from his back. He will have a huge reach advantage here.

3U on Rockhold @ -220

I really wanted to put down some cash on Rockhold. He has looked phenomenal lately in his fights and at AKA. I may do it, but I always get nervous betting against wrestlers because of the Chael/Nate factor. I'm not sure that Taylor is the wrestler that Bradley is, but I don't know enough on Bradley. Bradley also is a beast.

Does anyone know the exact wrestling credentials of Paul?

He was 2x D1 All-American at Iowa. Pretty good. Better than Taylor. But to a nonwrestler like Rockhold, any D1 wrestler is the same as the other. I think Taylor is a better striker.

Ouch I may stay away from that then. Bradley looks like a monster.

you'd think after one round of not being able to take someone down you'd try something else.Nope lets just trying lol.He got dominated on there feet though so I guess there wasnt much else he could do

[Ludo]

It was a case of what I like to call "Diego Sanchez Syndrome". Just like when Sanchez fought Penn, he couldn't take him down, couldn't do jack fuck all to him standing up. So he just had to ride it out and hope he survives or catches something with luck.

By the way, I told ya'll I'd get the Perosh pic when a good one hit. Cheers! He kinds of looks like someone did the outlines in red for a spiderman face painting

Rockhold wins BIG
