Strikeforce Dallas June 18th

[SPX]

This whole event is turning into a disaster.

As long as Ubereem fights Werdum I'm happy. Nobody cares about Carano. Barnett would have beaten Rogers easy anyways.

[Mr. IWS]

Josh Barnett Unlicensed in Texas, Strikeforce: Overeem vs Werdum Only 10 Days Out

This guy is such a fuckin clown

[poopoo333]

Seriously though, Barnett will fuck this up. He hasn't been cleared yet, and when he does he will probably just fail another drug test. Hopefully they have Del Rosario, Cormier, Johnson, or maybe even Sylvia to be a back up for this.

....

[SPX]

Nobody cares about Carano.

Speak for yourself.

Barnett would have beaten Rogers easy anyways.

Yeah, and I have 3u on him. And I was thinking of upping that to 5u.

[poopoo333]

Speak for yourself.

IF YOU DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THE GINA CARANO FIGHT, GIMME A HELL YEAH!

Scientist, thoughts on Cormier/Monson?

Cormier should win. It might be close on the feet, but I think Cormier mixes it up better and is also faster. On the mat, Cormier will always be on top... and although Monson is an ADCC champion, he has nothing off his back except a half guard sweep. He won't be able to sweep or submit Cormier IMO. My position has always been that the heavier the heavier the guy is, the more wrestling outweighs bjj. At HW wrestling > bjj (IMO). And now, I also think at LHW, wrestling > bjj. Aside from that, Monson is mostly a wrestler in his grappling approach. He has a very effective style for HW grappling, but he has to be on top to win.

But Cormier stood a lot in his last fight, so he will probably look to stand here as well. IMO, Cormier wins in either spot and has the advantage of getting to decide where the fight takes place.

So.... Cormier.

Yeah, but when have either of you faggots given a shit about ANY female fight.

[Ludo]

Truth be told I didn't give a shit about it either. She hasn't fought in almost two years and she comes back to fight what essentially amounts to fighting a squash match. I can't say I cared about it.

[SPX]

Well when has ANYONE here other than me really cared about women's MMA?

And the fact that she hasn't fought in 2 years actually makes it MORE interesting to me, not less.

I watch a lot of womens mma fights .In fact, the only fights I usually watch on bellator cards are the womens fights and nothing else.......but I dont care about Carano either.

She had her chance and ran scared as soon as she lost one fight instead of training to come back better

[edman5555]

If she has a really nice ass, then yes.

So.... Cormier.

Thanks for the breakdown. I wonder what the line will be.

Burt rogers is the king of bums. Josh Barnett should be -750. Sams Club is in Rogers future. I unloaded on Barnett at -300. Once he hits that single leg Barnett will submit him.
