Strikeforce's 2011 Heavyweight Grand-Prix

Well I like the UFC also and I watch just about every show they put on but that doesnt mean I cant bitch about what they do if I dont agree with it .The UFC has went from being worth 2 million in 2001 to 1.5 billion in 2011 I think its time to spread the wealth a little more.

It not like I only dislike Dana, I hate Arum ,Don King and Goldenboy promotions and I'd rant about them too but no one wants to hear about boxing.

Agreed. You're entitled to your opinion. And the UFC does plenty of shit worth bitching about.

But yes, I agree that fighters should be paid more. I've said that in the past. I've even said that it's an insult that even the lowliest undercard fighter is making $3K to fight for the greatest MMA org in the world, a position that I've actually been argued with in the past for holding.

That was probably me arguing with you. I would like to see the guys make more, but I am also a believer in free market. There are too many fighters at that entry level and not enough orgs willing to pay. I don't have problem with the $3k guys that are just coming over from fighting in their backyard or wherever, I don't like it when I see a quality veteran with some name recognition getting paid the same a TUF fighter. I think the mid to top guys should make more, but if they are willing to do it... I guess that is their issue.

[SPX]

I can't remember who it was, but I remember the counter-argument basically went like: Does that fighter's name being on the card bring in $3,000 extra dollars for the promoter?

Which I think is something of a fallacious argument.

here is fedor the best fighter in the world

^^^^^^^^^^^If he walks out to that song I'm never watching Strikeforce again

I currently have 2.5u on Sergei at even money. I am thinking about arbing out on this though. I can get Arlovski at even now, maybe even +105 which would be cool. He has a lot of good wins but I am not confident. How do you guys think they stack up?

I really have no idea what will happen with that one. I hope Fedor knocks him out in round 1.

[poopoo333]

I was actually thinking about "fight won't start round 2" @+164.

If the fight ends in round 1, it's 100% that fedor wins. There is no way that big foot could win in round 1. So if you want to do that bet, maybe you should try fedor in round 1, the odds should be even better.

LOL. Only way to get Barnett in.

Anyone else think Giant Silva can beat Fedor? I think it's very close, I may place a value bet on Silva.

no and hell no.

I will probably bet Fedor and I think he'll win in rd 1. How can you take Silva after watching him almost get KO'd by Kyle?
