"King Mo came in and wrestled with Jake a couple weeks ago.

He's got some very impressive shots for MMA and set-ups. I think he might be able to smother Mousasi. "


From the MMA section on bodybuilding.com

He is referring to Jake Rosholt.

Not exactly impressive that he's able to smother a Middleweight when he's fought at Heavyweight before...

Who the fuck has Lawal fought? What's his biggest win? Mike Whitehead? Travis Wiuff? The modern-day washed up and broken down Mark Kerr?

Mousasi at this point is FAR more experienced and has beaten some actual names. This may very well be King Mo's coming out party, but I would have to get some pretty sweet underdog odds to gamble that it will be.

Yep, this is kind of my point of view too on the fight.

That wasn't just directed at you.

I think I'd that I'd at least guess that Mousasi takes this one 70% of the time, so I'll be on him for sure if his line is -233 or better.

Mayhem added to the card:

Jason “Mayhem” Miller will face Tim Stout in a middleweight bout at Strikeforce “Nashville” on April 17 at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., the promotion confirmed with Sherdog.com on Monday.

MMAJunkie.com was the first to report of the matchup, which will be the final fight of the event’s undercard and could possibly air on tape-delay during the main card’s live CBS broadcast if time permits.

Known for his colorful entrances and larger-than-life personality, Miller lost a unanimous decision to Jake Shields at Strikeforce “Fedor vs. Rogers” on Nov. 7 in Hoffman Estates, Ill. The 29-year-old fighter is a former Icon Sport middleweight champion with key victories over Robbie Lawler and Tim Kennedy.

Stout, a Memphis local, dropped an October bout to Roger Carroll via second-round submission at a Clash of the Kings event in Georgia. Stout holds a victory over “The Ultimate Fighter 5” alumnus Brandon Melendez.

Strikeforce “Nashville” airs on CBS’s “Saturday Night Fights” on April 17 at 9:00 p.m. EST.

I'll be all over hendo. Shield's standup is rather terrible for the level he fights at and his wrestling isn't that great either. He certainly has the submission edge but he's primarily a top control guy. Of course he could pull out another standing guillotine or a good sweep or something and win but I see hendo taking this one pretty easily. Never been a fan of shields though. Hopefully the line stays down for hendo though.

I like Mousasi vs King Mo but as others have mentioned way to many unknowns.

Re: Strikceforce CBS April 17th fights /discussion

I'll be on Hendo and Aoki for sure, I'll probably stay away from Mousasi/Lawal because there are way too many unknown variables. Hopefully these don't shoot all over the place in the next few hours while everyone else picks the lines up.

Re: Strikceforce CBS April 17th fights /discussion
