I don’t know, last I saw on Bodog was -900, I’ll check again

what do you expect he has been training for this fight for awhile his opponent however was just informed 8 days ago. Oh and its Wes Sims. Im praying Sims goes off like he did against Mir.
"Frank Mir had a horseshoe up his ass. I told him a year ago. I pulled it out of him and I beat him over the head with it." Brock Lesnar
That's pretty messed up...
What Sims did against Mir was disrespectful and dangerous in a way that could have ended the career of one of the best heavyweights in the world.

Gobble Mirs Nutts Much?
"Frank Mir had a horseshoe up his ass. I told him a year ago. I pulled it out of him and I beat him over the head with it." Brock Lesnar
no disrespect intended but seriously Mir has fought two or three people in his career worth noting and one is Brock Lesnar a man with only 5 pro fights. He has split with him and the other Nog who was Ill. Vera being the other who was undersized for the HW division but made short work of Frank Mir. Second the foot stomps he delivered were aloud for many of the fights in pride. Wand made a career of stomping guys heads into mat so i think saying it could have ended his career is a bit overboard i mean hell a armbar or a straight right could end somebodys career just the same. What i am saying is i hope that this shady match making comes back to bite strikeforce in the end.
"Frank Mir had a horseshoe up his ass. I told him a year ago. I pulled it out of him and I beat him over the head with it." Brock Lesnar
umm...
the cage is what makes it dangerous. no room to move the head. i poop on your comment.

Stomping someone in the face...
when they don’t expect it is way different than fighting with those rules. Also, gtfoh with that Mir hate.. He has finished Sylvia, Nog, Kongo, and Lesnar… you just sound like a hater and a loser for trying to discredit one of the best current HWs in the world.
I'm like PacMan fightin you silly kids... throw ya Hatton the ring, and get knocked outlike Ricky did.
lol.
Totally.
There are plenty of legit reasons to rag on Mir. He mentioned none of them. Hater.

lol.
1) His head was against the fence. changing the danger of the strikes significantly.
2) Wanderlei was getting those stomp wins in fights where the opponent knew the stomps were coming and as such when they were down knew to be positioned defensively for them.
Your argument is the same as saying if someone is in north south in the UFC and starts throwing knees to the head that it’s legitimate since it was allowed in PRIDE.

Not to mention Sims was holding the cage as well.
Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.
I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.
"look ma, two hands"
I'm like PacMan fightin you silly kids... throw ya Hatton the ring, and get knocked outlike Ricky did.

There's something screwy about what would be, according to the odds, one of the biggest upsets of alltime
not really being all that stunning an upset at all.

yay for people ...
fumbling around on stage. And the announcer telling fighters they have to sign forms.
I went to a regional show in Montreal last year (XMMA 8) and the weigh-ins were in a holiday inn hall, and had a similar feel to this.
No matter how hard Strikeforce tries … this kinda shit proves they are nothing more than a regional show with a tv deal.
I like their girls though ...
rawr! …. send Juwana Mann away and sign some of these girls Dana.
They may be dime a dozen, and are pretty generic-lookin hot chicks, but still … better.
u are trippin. Chandella is a good looking girl.
I don’t understand ANY of the hate she gets…
I'm like PacMan fightin you silly kids... throw ya Hatton the ring, and get knocked outlike Ricky did.
lol.
Even Edith had fans..
and Chandella looks a LOT better than her.
I'm like PacMan fightin you silly kids... throw ya Hatton the ring, and get knocked outlike Ricky did.
lol.
Sure, she's good loooking
Just not as good looking as either of the girls she replaced or thousands of others they could have got instead.

the only logic i can come up with is that it gives the main event fighters more time to recover, but it really should be the other way around because they fight last and, why would anyone care about the wiegh ins of the people on the bottom of the undercard if they’re last?
In chicago they weighed-in in the same order. After the main card some people filtered out (which actually made leaving nicer for everyone since it wasn’t an “everyone in the building, leave now!” kind of thing. Also, several of the main card guys walked around signing autographs and whatnot.
I don’t really see any reason to care one way or the other on the order or smoothness with which a weigh in for Strikeforce, the UFC or anywhere else.

There is not enough space on that fackin stage.
and its brutally disorganized. Is it weird that im embarrassed for them?
Reminds me of this little bar in Lawrence, KS. The place has a stage that can’t be more than 60-70 square feet. A buddy of mine told me he saw Slipknot perform there once, how the hell they fit 9 people plus instruments on that stage is beyond me.

I wish Strikeforce either had better weigh ins
or stopped streaming them. Either make an event of it or don’t show it.

AWFUL FUCKIN WEIGH INS!
Im out of here … this is just getting awkward. Where is the promoter. Why isnt he getting in between them.
90 lbs gain compared to 25-30ish lbs gain.
Yeah…
That’s also why I hate Lashley vs. Lesnar comparisons. Lesnar is a huge guy and always has been. Lashley is really puffed up from bodybuilding, not strength training. I have doubts about his physicality being effective against somebody with both strength and technique…

while it wouldn’t surprise me if lashley was eating some horsemeat, too, he also change from that to pro wrestler sized lashley in about 5 years. Much more doable without the aid of whatever.

Because he’s 50, it’s his first fight, cuttiNg weight sucks, and strikeforce could find an opponent that weighed the same as walker.
Sure glad Lesnar got his shit straightened out.

why don’t they call them fights? It’s like vince’s switch to “sports entertainment” although that has at least some reasons behind it.
We all know if’s a fight, just say it.
And in the heavyweight division, here _____ vs. ______!
Or “This heavyweight bout, featuring ______ and _______…” would do just fine. We know these guys aren’t there for a karaoke duet of Total Eclipse of the Heart.

Scott Coker really should've been standing in the middle of this whole thing.
Perhaps he doesn’t want to be the center of attention, or whatever it may be. But at least have someone standing in between the fighters.

I’m interested to see how this goes down, I guess that’s the point.
Wow...
Seriously, it’s been said before, but about Walker: Holy shit…Is that guy seriously 47? Or is that one of his personalities talking
Herschel Walker is absurdly diesel...

Wow, Hersch sure looks the part. What amazes me more than anything is there used to be all these “legends” about Herschel’s workout routine. It was said he never worked out with weights, instead just did an obscenely absurd amount of calisthetics. It was also rumored he ate only 1 meal a day. If even one of these is true, he has some amazing genetics or has found another way to build and maintain such an impressive physique.
I got to go to the weigh-in's too

Im not gonna lie, walker looks like a bamf…and 47 ? i think this guy found the fountain of eternal youth.
Fountain of youth, indeed.
Herschel puts guys like Bernard Hopkins to shame in terms of looks. I pray for the best, even though deep down he should take this Greg Nagy character out. I guess we won’t find out until the bell sounds for round one. On a random note, I am new to Bloody Elbow as far as posting, however I do visit and read the articles posted along side the comments to keep up-to-date with current events. Anyways, can’t wait to post as time goes on.

Also, a really good sense of humour and lack of attachment to any particular argument is the only way to stay sane around here.
