So happy that Strikeforce decided to stream the Cormier and Galvao fights on Sherdog. I would’ve hated to miss those.

weird that king mo is such a huge favorite against feijao

i don’t think he’s yet demonstrated the mastery to be that high, and feijao is no slouch especially considering his camp.

by Trust Doesn't Rust on Aug 20, 2010 3:59 PM EDT reply actions

Its just because of the possibility

of Mo completely smothering Feijao for 5 rounds.

Another thing, we’ve seen Mike Kyle beat up Feijao on the feet. Mo is no slouch, he smooth with a ton of power. 3 of his wins are big vicious KO. He knocked Mark Kerr’s mouthpiece across the cage, on the ground, from Kerr’s back.

Munoz is from the same camp too and he looked like a chump against Okami.

by Polyhedron on Aug 20, 2010 5:05 PM EDT up reply actions

Munoz wasn't that far away from getting the decision, unearned as it may have been

I’m not saying that Mo shouldn’t be the favorite here, but -550 is Silva/St. Pierre/Penn/Fedor levels. Mo has not shown himself to be THAT dominating yet.

Vinicius fights at 145? I didn’t think he was that small

Is Noons out of shape, or what's the deal?

Poor KJ "Not So Fresh Feeling" Noons!

And Gurgel continues to be the world’s worst MMA strategist…. Shoulda made him cut the .25 pounds….

by Karate_Kid on Aug 20, 2010 5:31 PM EDT up reply actions

I want Gurgel to knock him the fuck out

That would be hilarious.

What weight was the DeLeon-Robichaux fight supposed to be at? Those are weird weigh-in weights. 127.25 and 131? Neither guy would have made 125, and both were below 135. Even if it was 130, there should be the 1-lb allowance for 131.

by mma_critic on Aug 20, 2010 8:16 PM EDT reply actions

DeLeon usually fights at 125, Robichaux at 135. Either Strikeforce had them fighting at some odd catchweight or they both failed to cut to flyweight and DeLeon, being the closer of the two, had to clear the weight difference.
