As always we have our one rule: NO SPOILERS! In the interest of not ruining anything from the undercard that may make the broadcast we ask that you do not discuss the results of the undercard in the comments until either the broadcast ends or the fight makes the air.
So again, join us for the show and share your thoughts as the event unfolds.
The Showtime broadcast is live, first fight up shortly.
Raul Castillo vs. Yancy Medeiros - Round 1 - Jab by Medeiros lands. And again. Castillo looks really tight. Right hand by Yancy now land hard. Leg kick by Castillo. Castillo shoots now and Medeiros ia able to bounce right back up once he hits the mat. They separate and Medeiros lands a kick. Again Castillo can't get the takedown. Uppercut by Yancy lands. Castillo again working for a single leg and again can't get the fight to the floor. Medeiros is opening up and landing now again. Yancy is unloading at the end of the round and he is tagging Castillo! The round ends and as Medeiros landed a lot of shots while Castillo had no effective offense in the round I gave it 10-8 to Medeiros. Round 2 - Early Medeiros is landing shots and Castillo looks like he has no clue what to do. Jab lands for Yancy. Castillo is just circling and getting hit with the occasional punch. Hard body kick by Medeiros now. Leg kick by Medeiros now. Castillo ducks under a punch and grabs a single but great takedown defense and Yancy won't go down. Nice sprawl by Medeiros and he avoids the takedown again. The round ends and it was still one sided, but not as much so. 10-9 Medeiros puts him up 20-17 on my card. Round 3 - Medeiros lands a few shots, almost gets taken down but stuffs it. Nw Castillo pushing for the takedown again. Castillo throws a jab and gets caught with a counter hook. Knee lands for Medeiros. Now they tangle and Castillo lands a knee to the head! A flurry by Castillo and he lands a knee to the groin. As Medeiros is trying to recover the ref tells him that it's time to fight and starts them again, he is just doing a brutally bad job working this fight. Yancy lands a flurry and Castillo goes down, he gets back up though and they're fighting on. Low kick by Castillo lands. Now with 30 seconds Castillo goes to his back trying to bait Yancy to the ground but no luck. They're trading as the time runs out and Medeiros takes the round 10-9 and gives him the fight 30-26 on my card. Official Scorecards: 30-27 across the board. Yancy Medeiros wins by unanimous decision.
James Terry vs. Tarec Saffiedine - Round 1 - High kick by Terry is blocked. Left hand by Saffiedine and the ref tells them to fight. Not a good night for referees. Tarec landing stiff punches and now a knee. Terry tries a takedown and gets shrugged off. Saffiedine with a two punch combo and avoids a body kick return. Uppercut lands now for Tarec and Terry looks like he's having problems with the distance the fight is taking place at. Leg kick by Saffiedine. Head kick from Tarec lands and it was solid. Terry looks a little buzzed. Body shot by Saffiedine. Terry has recovered and now shoots for a very nice double leg and puts Saffiedine on his back. Tarec scrambles to his feet. The round ends and it was 10-9 Saffiedine on my card. Round 2 - Early on and again Saffiedine is keeping a good distance and just misses with the uppercut. Tarec with a right hand, left how kick combo that lands hard. Whenever Terry tries to get inside he's eating punches from Saffiedine who then moves back outside and resets. Terry gets inside briefly and misses an uppercut. Terry ducks under a punch but can't get the takedown. Right hand lands for Saffiedine. Leg kick by Saffiedine, Terry misses with a head kick. The round ends and it was another 10-9 round for Saffiedine on my card. Round 3 - Terry looking to be more aggressive but eats some big shots from Saffiedine. Left hook lands for Saffiedine now. Terry shoots and gets to the ground but Saffiedine is able to use the fence pad to stand back up. Terry can't finish another single leg.

Terry keeps coming forward and getting hit hard, but deserves respect for not quitting. Spinning back kick to the hip by Saffiedine. Terry with a takedown attempt and Saffiedine reverses to end up on top in the mount. The fight ends and we'll go to the scorecards. 10-9 Saffiedine makes it 30-27 for my card. Official Scorecards: 30-27 across the board. Tarec Saffiedine wins by unanimous decision.
Luke Rockhold vs. Paul Bradley - Round 1 - Rockhold with a high kick and right hand and now they lock up. Bradley looks TINY next to Rockhold. Rihgt hand by Rockhold drops Bradley and Rockhold jumps on top. Bradley working to regain guard and has botten as far as getting his butterfly hooks in and manages to scramble to his feet. Another big right counter by Rockhold drops Bradley. Head kick by Rockhold hurts him again. Now as Rockhold is throwing shots the ref stops the fight. There may have been a low blow in there but that fight was extremely one sided and Bradley was getting dropped repeatedly. Luke Rockhold wins by TKO, round 1.
Trevor Prangley vs. Karl Amoussou - Round 1 - Prangley comes in throwing and Karl tags him with counters. Again he lands a flurry of shots that land. The ref urging them to fight which is one of my least favorite things in the world. Again Amoussou lands a few punches and gets away. Now Prangley catches a body lock and takes Karl to the ground. Prangley working with short punches from half guard and the Ref is telling him to improve position. Just awful reffing on this event tonight. It's embarrassing to think that these guys are deemed "qualified" to ref fights on this level. Prangley comes in and catches some hard shots and continues to come forward. Right hand from Prangley now and that hurts him a bit. Hook from Prangley and Amoussou is poked in the eye. The doctor tells the ref to stop the fight and it's over on an accidental eye poke. That's a big downer for what was shaping up to be a good fight. The fight is ruled a technical draw.
Sarah Kaufman vs. Takayo Hashi - Round 1 - Hashi throwing low kicks early. Kaufman landing some straight punches in return. Right hand by Kaufman puts Hashi down but she's right back up and into a clinch. As Kaufman has her against the fence and is working some punches and position the ref separates them to continue the awful work they've done all night. Hashi keeps eating punches and now from a jab goes down. She bounces up again though. Right hand lands for Sarah now. Counter right hand puts Hashi down again and now Hashi looks for a takedown but can't get it. Hashi smiles at her which is nice and all, but she should really worry about not getting knocked down any more. 10-8 round for Kaufman on my card. Round 2- Low kick from Kaufman. Now a series of punches land for Kaufman. Hashi has to try to get this to the ground rather than stand and get punched. Finally a right lands for Hashi. Hashi's big weapon now seems to be a slow low kick. Kaufman landing whenever she throws but she just isn't going for the finish. 10-9 round for Kaufman. Round 3- Kaufman catches a kick and drops Hashi with a right again. Hashi keeps throwing low kicks and Kaufman just slowly follows her around and throws one punch at a time. This is a really dull fight. Hashi ties up so Kaufman lands a flurry to the head and then back to the same pattern. Right hand by Kaufman lands hard and Hashi is still standing there. Right hand again by Kaufman and Hashi goes down again and AGAIN gets back up. More punches landing for Kaufman. Now Hashi has a shot stuffed and the round ends. 10-9 for Kaufman. Round 4- Hashi shoots again but just gets out muscled. These two aren't really in the same weight class and it shows when they tie up. They're working up against the cage and the ref separates them which, makes absolutely no sense. Just embarrassingly awful reffing. These men should lose their jobs for how badly they've done tonight. Hashi shoots and can't get the takedown. Hashi is shooting over and over here but can't finish the shots. Hashi now pulling guard and Kaufman stands up. The round ends and it was 10-9 Kaufman again. Round 5 -Hashi with a soft right hand. Kaufman is the one landing the harder shots still but Hashi is trying to throw punches back. Hashi tries to pull guard after the first half of the round and can't keep Kaufman on the ground with her. Hashi with a nice kick as they're back to standing. Eye poke with about a minute left in the fight. Hashi says to continue so here they go. The round ends and it was 10-9 again making it 50-44 on my card. Official Scorecards: 50-45 across the board. Sarah Kaufman wins by unanimous decision.

But has Strikeforce EVER shown a fight from the prelims on the main card to fill time?

Sounds like Strikeforce is run by Donovan McNabb and Andy Reid then.

That’s just nutty.
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.
Honestly it’s just the standard text for the live blogs. I don’t expect any prelims to be shown. It’s more about maintaining the standard live results thread integrity so that it’s just a “never do it” situation.

Do you want to see old Pride fights or not? That fight happened in Pride and it was between two guys who are not currently under Zuffa contract. They also showed a guy under UFC contract (Rampage) losing to a guy under DREAM contract (Sakuraba). Why no smarmy remarks about that fight?
Seriously. People are looking way too much into this thing.
I’m watching UFC FN: Silva vs. Irvin and eagerly await that snoozer that was Vera/Andy.

Just different criteria probably
I thought by trying to go for takedowns he stopped Medeiros’ offensive output, in the second I didn’t see him try anything so I gave a 10-8
10-8 Yancy
20-17 Yancy

I wish Medeiros would have shown more of an instinct to finish
he was being very cautious with an opponent who’s clearly overmatched
I thought he showed excellent composure for his experience.
Opening up with strikes would’ve opened him up for a takedown.

Mexicans do get behind their boxers in a big way though.

His point is that he “fights like a mexican” which is actually a stylistic thing. It’s why Mexican boxing fans flock to fighters of a certain style. And why most Mexican boxing fans didn’t like DLH since he didn’t fight with the style they like.

Yep,
I go into these cards hoping to see 1 fighter with a promising future. For me so far he is it.
I'm interested...
In seeing him fight again as well as Medeiros. Kid was fighting outside of Hawaii for the first time and against a guy who he was supposed to be a showcase for and dominated. I don’t know how much upside he really has without seeing him against someone with a bit more to offer in return but he’s earned another watch from me.

Rockhold is a guy I want to see Strikeforce try and do something with. Not just leave him as a challengers fighter. Get him on showtime and CBS and build him up a little. He’s a guy they could actually make into an attraction with his style…but it comes down to if they’re willing to or if they just plan on continuing to cycle the same fighters on the big cards.

Officially now the head of the Lobstein bandwagon.
Beth’s View
Doability – With his brown hair and blue eyes, he could have a gaping chest wound, missing teeth, and a back hump and I’d still be good to go.
Perceived Skills – When he opens the window in the morning, birds and woodland creatures run up to help him greet the day.
Imagined Dream Date – We go to dinner, where I spend the whole time in my head saying, “Why did he ask me out? This guy is way too hot to have asked me out.” After blowing the date, I go home and get rip roaring drunk, and proceed to spend the evening texting him inappropriate messages.
Long Term Relationship Potential – None. I absolutely blew the first date, and he never calls me back.
Panty Dropper Rating – 5 – Like Big John says, “Let’s get it on!”
Donna’s View
Doability – Very high. If you were to ask me to describe my perfect man, he’d be 6’3" with brown hair, and blue eyes, just like my darling Luke.
Perceived Skills – air hockey, woodworking, 3 point shots.
Imagined Dream Date – We go to Dave and Busters, where Luke and I have Buffalo wings, neon colored alcoholic beverages and a very heated Skee ball shoot off.
Long Term Relationship Potential – It would last for a little while, but I get sick of the fact that he’s too young to catch my Weird Science and This is Spinal Tap references, and I just hate feeling old.
Panty Dropper Rating –5 – Like Big John says, “Let’s get it on!”
Rockhold needs to fight better competition. He seems to have the tools to really compete with tougher competition. Fighters like Rockhold should be moved up to a bigger Strikeforce card, and I would think that the purpose of Challengers is to eventually move these fighters to the bigger cards.
I would say the
TUF wrestlers are good competition for most guys. Rockhold is still a prospect but one that everyone should excited about.

seems appropriate given the sport

Just kicked the camera square on. That’d be interesting if she had to pull out with a broken foot

Ditto. But my women's MMA knowledge is quite limited.

10-8 Kaufman
The Seattle Times linked to my website in June 2009. I wasn't aware of this until January 2010.
she’s a counterstriker. but not enough power to deal with cyborg. maybe carano.
I'm just a dude who's trying to put it together.
No
Sarah wouldn’t hang with both of them, including Marloes. Sarah maybe a hard hitter but Cybrog, Gina, Marloes all have good chins. Sarah plays right into Gina’s strength. Gina is bigger and the only weakness Gina has is girls that are more aggressive than she is. When Gina sets the pace of a fight, she will win.
20-17 Kaufman. Snoozer of a 2nd.

Really awful round...
Kaufman can finish this whenever she wants but she’s just following her around landing a few punches and following some more.

The announcers
promised Kaufman was going to open it up and hurt her bad in the 2nd round. I feel lied to.
Kaufman spent more time doing her hair than she fought in this round.

Kaufman needs to just finish the fight already

Can you really blame Kaufman?
It looks like she is trying to finish this, but her opponent keeps back pedaling.
Mauro makes another Bushido spirit comment, I’m going to randomly scream at someone.

I understand Kaufman doesn't want to open herself up...
but she can rush in and absolutely blast Hashi right now…

Yeah becuase
Fedors split between MMA and Sambo has fucked his career up.
I don't get it:
even though the previous fight got stopped on an eye poke, it had the making of a way better fight. How was that Prangley fight the undercard to this thing?

Because
it is the 2 best female 135ers in the wurld!!!!!!
title fight
And they needed to finally promote their women fighters instead of throwing Cyborg and/or Gina on a card and expecting people to care.

This is fucking terrible.
Not even the good kind of terrible.
Officially now the head of the Lobstein bandwagon.
Female MMA
needs to hit the back burner for another several years. These fights are not good.
I have always had a
response to that. It would get me banned so I keep it to myself.
LOL
We are Strikeforce, a MAJOR MMA promotion. If you need to say it…….

Rockhold and Sassafrass impressed, but the fight with the most potential got ruined early.
Without pain, without sacrifice, we would have nothing.

It is unfortunate that this fight turned out the way it did. It is getting even more scrutinized because it is a Women’s bout. I can’t say if it is Kaufman or Hashi for the reason that it was a snoozer, or both. It’s easy to say, “just finish the fight,” but what can Kaufman really do when her opponent is back pedaling? From the reaction here, the division seems like a joke now, but people act as if this is somehow exclusive to Women’s MMA. Demian Maia vs Dan Miller and Nate Diaz vs Gray Maynard was similar to this, and most Jon Fitch or Yushin Okami fights are like this. The point I am trying to make is that even in the highest level, there are snoozers.
Kaufman could have finished the fight if she would had been more aggressive.
by snakecharmer1340 on Feb 27, 2010 1:33 AM EST up reply actions
If you watch BJ Penn vs Diego Sanchez, it is much easier said than done. Yes, BJ did end up finishing the fight, but it was in the 5th round even with BJ being as aggressive as he could be for every round before that. Look, I’m not saying that Kaufman couldn’t have been more aggressive because she easily could have been.
No YOU DID-N"T! He did.
I like woman’s MMA but it has to be good. That was awful.
by snakecharmer1340 on Feb 27, 2010 2:03 AM EST up reply actions
I said that it was a snoozer, but I do take issue that many here are acting as if a fight like this is exclusive to Women’s MMA.
Maybe I’m blind cause I’m such a fan, but to me, I think Sarah lost interest because Hashi couldn’t really offer anything back. She’s a real fighter and scrapper; when Hashi just kept going backwards, throwing slow kicks, and launching ugly takedown attempts from way outside, it became just a slow, inevitable beating.
"I'm AJB and I endorse this nut-puncher."
Remeber guys, Sarah is training with Jackson
Greg has a good talent to turning good fighters into decision fighters.
I'm seeing this sentiment a lot lately, and it's just untrue.
First, Jackson doesn’t gameplan for her; Adam Zugec does that.
Second, that’s a really unfair thing to say about Jackson:
*he’s helped Rashad take his game to another level (and helped him develop a reputation as a KO artist)
*helped Jardine get into “contender” conversations at various points when he’s really unathletic and has an awful chin
*helped turn Nate Marquardt into a guy who has been talked about (with caution, and pre-Sonnen) as being a possible challenge for Anderson Silva
*helped GSP be considered as one of the best pound-for-pound in the sport, including designing the gameplan that smashed BJ Penn
*hell, even Guillard looks good at this point, and Joe Daddy was looking great until he ran into a red-hot George Sotteropolis(…???)
