Strikeforce Dallas June 18th

[poopoo333]

I think we will definitely see Barnett in the finals though assuming he doesn't fail a drug test/can't get licensed/whatever bullshit goes on with him. I am really looking forward to Bigfoot/Ubereem though. They better not wait until 2012 for that shit.

You're a dick.

I was listening to Beatdown After the Bell on Sherdog today and they were lamenting the disorganization of the tournament. In fact, they expressed concerns that it would even be finished. I hope those concerns are unfounded.

^^^^^wonder if Werdum realizes how big of a douche he looked like............doesnt he know BJJ doesnt work anyway?

I read the next round will be in October. If boxing can finish the Super 6 where 3 people dropped out of a 6 man tourney Strikeforce can finish this

Word. Well I certainly hope so.

FWIW, my list:

Cain
JDS
Overeem
Lesnar
Werdum
Carwin
Silva
Fedor
Barnett
Mir

Biggest question is probably Mir's placement. I'm sure Sherdog would keep him ahead of Silva, Fedor, and Barnett.

[Vandelay]

Heres what they should look like regardless of experience.

Cain
Silva
Barnett
Cormier
Fedor
Overeem
JDS
Werdum
Carwin
Lesnar

Rankings are a mix of speculation and accomplishment. That is the case in every sport, it has to be.

Anyway, Cain is definitely #1 IMO and JDS is definitely #2 IMO. They both have quality wins over top 10 guys and no losses in recent history. After that, it is a free for all.

The UFC needs these HWs though.

That Werdum gif is classic. I don't fault him for trying to goad Overeem to come to the ground... but he really does look like a douche. His shot was weak, I expected his wrestling to be better. He is a guard player though, he likes to be on bottom, but you still have to work on the takedowns in modern MMA.

I wonder what would happen if the ref just let them fight. If he didn't force Werdum to stand up, and Werdum just chasd him around the cage with his butt scoots... Would Overeem eventually engage him? If not, would every round be 10-10? Who is really avoiding the fight? Werdum flopped down, but then again, he is chasing him around... I kind of wish we didn't have that rule just to see what would happen.

"Conor Heun had his arm broken and possibly tore an anterior cruciate ligament in his knee as a result of separate submission attempts from Magno Almeida at Strikeforce “Overeem vs. Werdum.”


I knew that armbar looked sunk.

^^ dude got subbed like 4 times... good for him hanging in there. But I still gave the fight to Almeida, and this news only confirms and emboldens me.
