Strikeforce is putting on 2 events a month in 2010??

Strikeforce puts on 1-2 events a months is the norm. One big event and one Challenger event per month usually.

Coker said 20 events this year 10 Champion shows and 10 Challengers shows. He also said that there would be a belt on the line every month for the first 6 months of 2011.
Parsing all that out it sounds like 6 Champion shows in the first half and 4 in the second half. Likely 4 challengers shows in the first half and 6 in the second half. But then again maybe they take a month off again in the fall.
Finally getting some love from Strikeforce!!
Beerbohm vs Shaolin was relegated to the prelims, so it’s good to see a Beerbohm fight making it on the main event. This is a good matchup too as Healy was doing pretty well against Thomson until the choke.
I won't jump off the bandwagon just because you lost.
Should be fun as Fancy Pants has some fancy chokes.

Promising prospect vs. Pat Healy. Pat “The Spoiler” Healy everytime.
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.
I was just thinking that.

Yeah, he has a fairly even record against some of the upper tier guys out there now with wins over daley, hardy, and condit and losses to leben, lytle, ellenberger, and thomson.

The Condit win is fairly impressive, the Hardy & Daley wins … not so much.
He got Hardy when Dan was a baby in the sport. It was only something like his fourth or fifth fight. He got Daley in his first taste of American MMA. Paul had been tearing up the Euro scene (at a time when the Euro scene was incredibly weak) for a few years, but Healy was the first guy to teach him that things are a little more difficult in North America. Beating those two guys was not very impressive at the time he beat them. They were both untested Euro fighters at a time when the Euro MMA scene was pretty damn awful.
Credit where credit is due though, the Condit win in 2006 was pretty damn impressive at the time, and even moreso in hindsight.
What I find deceptive about Healy is that not only does he have some quality wins but he’s now fighting at LW and the bulk of his losses are to some pretty good MW and WW fighters.

Typical Lame Haterade
I’m not saying he’s a Top-10 welterweight, but the dude has wins over Condit, Hardy, Daley, Guymon, and Mr. Celeste.
He’ll never be a champ, but he’s a quality fighter and a good test for someone like Beerbohm. But I get it, it’s Strikeforce, and it’s not good enough.
Ugh.

Weak, I guess SF is still pissed at Pants for that comment about getting out of his SF deal.
Explain why he gets Healy and not Punk, Noons, JZ?
He is unbeaten, 3=0 in SF right? SF has no challengers for Gilbert, Crusher will fight him next, so why isnt Pants fighting JZ for the next contender?
Or even Billy E or Wilcox would have done.
He should be fighting JZ for the next contender not Healy on a Challengers card, sure Pants/JZ would be a main card fight anyday but if you put that on a Challengers card that fight would be huge.
I just dont understand why he isnt being given JZ.
SF LW div is so weak and they are still not happy with Pants.
