We havent even seen the ratings for last night yet.

Based on one fight? Or how about the fact that barely anybody even knows who she is due to lack of promotion.

Sport is about being the best. Sometimes the best is a draw, sometimes they are not. Nobody liked watching the New Jersey Devils play hockey for years, but they were a very good team. The NHL didn’t tell them they weren’t welcome in the playoffs.

The sport is still growing and it isn’t looked at as legitimate by many, this makes it look worse.

On had to prove themselves as a draw before they could headline.

Championship fights should headline. Period.

StrikeFORCE – that was an honest typo.

This is true everywhere?

How many big non-title lightweight fights have main evented a UFC PPV? When Sean Sherk and Anderson Silva both defended at UFC 73, who was the main event and who fought in the second spot?

I’m not saying it’s impossible for a lighter weight fighter to be the draw over a heavier fighter or that there haven’t been exceptions. But that’s the general rule.

When you guys run a website tell me how it goes when the discussion doesn’t come until days after the event. There’s a one day window to discuss this event-it’s now or never.

That wasn’t in question, but many people feel that they should do it.

Snowden can stir up the shit man. Whether it is intentional or not who knows. I am just glad that his articles are well written, even though they comes off as so polarizing for whatever reason. Strange phenomenon

I like the fact that regardless of his level of sincerity, you just know it’s gonna bring the community together by taking part in the ensuing chaos.

But— we’re going forward. She did something spectacular last night and this article would have made a lot more sense before that occurred, based on her blog (which doesn’t seem that bad to me, anyway). It’s like writing about how fucking boring people perceive Okami to be after he boxed Linhares face off.

Honestly here, does Bobby Lashley even have half the heat that people constantly try to make him out to have? He was only a semi-popular wrestler at most, who’s stormed through a series of unmentionable cans.

Yes, telling a non-draw that she should be happy to be in a co main event slot after crashing ratings and driving 90% of the live audience from the building in her last fight is EXACTLY the same as boxing writers who had a problem with Ali’s race.

That crowd that went crazy when she slammed Roxy into unconsciousness?

You mean the AMAZING reception she got after her highlight reel finish, that reception?

All fighters are lucky for the opportunity to fight. But, If we’re talking about crowd pleasing performances, GSP and A. Silva will be lucky to have any platform they can get after their last performances.

He made a few sexist and pointless comments last night.

It was “ugly broad”

Snowden made those comments? Well, I guess this is just another biased piece. Biased against woman’s MMA and possibly a womanizer.

The last time Anderson fought the consensus #2 was Dan Henderson. And he did get the finish. ;)

As petulant as it might seem, I’m on board with that.

If I didn’t still have VHS tapes, I probably wouldn’t.

Even sadder? The fall of Dennis Miller.

It’s the morning hangover-killer beers, methinks. And the fact that I don’t use the preview button enough.

well she can headline or co-main a challenger….right now she would be the first fight or the undercard on a regular show….so for me its about the same

the fun starts at 1:40

She is the best woman in a division nobody cares about. It sucks, but without Carano nobody would give a shit about the other title either. Hell, they mostly don’t anyway now that she is done fighting. Strikeforce has it’s handful with that headache, they don’t need another womans title fucking up their already iffy ratings.

When she starts being a good enough draw she’ll make it there, IF that ever happens. Look at the other people that make those cards. Are they better martial artists? Maybe not, but people are sure as hell more likely to turn in to watch them than her.

And really, Co-Maining a card on Strikeforce should be an honor to any fighter. It’s irritating to watch people shit on that. They gave her another chance to draw and she gave an amazing effort to that effect last night.

I was talking about prima facie versus ultima facie grounds. Something can appear to be a good reason for something but then you find out it’s outweighed or defeated by other factors. The point I was making is that, while it is often the case that being champ of something and being undefeated can give you prima facie grounds for appearing on a main card, when you’re the champ of an extremely weak division and have beaten mostly unimpressive foes, your championship status and your undefeated status turn out not to have much reason-giving force.

What the shit man, “pay your dues” she’s the freaking champion on the division what more do you want? And btw Anderson while being criticized has at this point made it a regular occurence to dissapoint fans and is still main-eventing PPVs, Sarah had one fight and people are still holding it over her head despite having one of the greatest knockouts in women’s MMA after last night.

I think she doing something that’s exciting. She’s “bringing the heat”. She defended her title against a very tough challenger (who’s also getting ZERO credit her – Roxy’s really good). She’s paid her dues. AND she’s talking herself up to try and drum up interest in herself and her division. I see nothing wrong with any of it.

If Strikeforce can’t promote MMA properly as a sport, then they are bad for the credibility of the sport. Strikeforce is the problem here. A champion being treated differently that every other champion and not liking it is not mind boggling.

“You love Dana White Subo!”
