Strikeforce Dallas June 18th

[SPX]

Interesting that they didn't count any of Overeem's takedowns.

Yeah, what's up with that shit?

So I missed the Wilcox - JZ fight. How was that going before the eye-poke stoppage?

(i.e., How pissed should I be that the fight got called off and my bet on Wilcox got canceled?)

Be pissed. Wilcox outstruck JZ in round 1 pretty clearly.

Yeah, what's up with that shit?

"Note: Overeem is not credited with successful takedowns because a takedown requires that the attempting fighter establish a ground-based advantageous position."

Reading.

That's got to be one of the worst fights ever to try and "FightMetric".

Interesting that they didn't count any of Overeem's takedowns.

Yeah, counting the numbers in that fight doesn't really get to the spirit of the fight.

That's bullshit. Throwing a motherfucker onto their back is a takedown. So if you judo throw someone it's not a "takedown"? Fuck that.

No, because it's a throw.

Interesting. I was expecting him to win, but more by wrestling than striking.

Yeah, I'm not sure I agree with that. Whether or not it was an actual 'takedown', it was still effective offense. Tossing it out completely doesn't seem legit.

[SPX]

No, because it's a throw.

So you didn't perform a maneuver that put your opponent on their ass? Get the fuck out.

BTW, I think Cain would overwhelm and smash Overeem in the first round.

^^nvm, Wilcox caught a kick, didn't try a TD

JDS vs. Peter Aerts in K1, who takes it?
