Another good card by Strikeforce
They are really putting a lot of good fights in this first half of the year.
I still wait for the return of Mousasi.

Yeah, Mousasi is taking too long to regain his belt

Which one are you, the nut kicker or the guy who is taking it like a champ?
I didn’t really enjoy the first two fights aside from the blood.
Agreed. I feel like I just saw this fight. Can we at least have Mayhem/Jacare rubber match instead of this?
If it seems like everyone around you is an asshole, you are probably an asshole.
nobody for them to fight anyway might aswel fight each other

Well that should be a fun card
I wonder who in the SF stable they have for Daley (don’t say Woodley, don’t say Woodley, don’t say Woodley).
Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.
I don't think Daley would be too crazy about it....
But Bobby Voelker would make for a really fun fight.
Really?
In March? That’s a hell of a turnaround.

Yeah, that and/or Coenen-Tate. Also, I think Gurgel’s opponent is supposed to be Josh Thomson.

Is it just me, or does Kennedy sort of look like Javier Bardem?
especially from the side?

Should be a good fight
Both guys are 7-2 over the last 4 years (Miller losing UDs to Jacare; Jake Shields, Kennedy losing UDs to Jacare and Mayhem) and both are tough guys who are hard as hell to finish.
Should be an excellent fight, but then again I enjoyed the shit our of Mayhem – Shields…

Woo!
Gotta love it. Bound to be an enjoyable fight to on the feet and the ground. Their series is tied at one a piece, so whoever takes this one gets the bragging rights.
I’m rooting for Mayhem, but would be just as happy if TK won. I just can’t bring myself to dislike either.

Why fight a third time?
I might be in the minority here but why have them fight a third time?
They are 1-1, both are great fighters and there are no better options for them atm

same company
same weight class
title contender eliminator
exciting fight for the fans
both guys have opponents running from ’em
and pretty much one of the only options SF has

Will help sort out their relevance (heh) in SF’s thin MW division. Kennedy just lost a decision to Souza for the belt, so he’s “up there” in the rankings and Mayhem has been criticized for “not fighting anybody” by the 209 bobbleheads. So…makes sense to me.
Both guys gonna bring it. I for one am looking forward to it.
Get rid of the ramp!
What the fuck is SF doing? Why would Daley fight on this card?
Man this is why I think SF has no clue, the only possible fight that makes sense is Daley/Tyron buty why would you take your only 2 contenders and have them fight?
Why not wait for April/May and have Diaz/Cyborg fight Daley for the title? WHy even risk Daley fighting in March? WHat if he lost? Yeah if Daley/Tyron happens the winner gets next and thats a good fight but why kill off one of your only contenders.
lets be honest for a second, you have Daley and Tyron, thats it, thats all SF has at WW, that div is terrible, so would Daley vs Noons happen? Is that what they want? I just think you should save Daley for April and have him fight for the WW title.
Feijao/Hendo
Tim/Miller
Your already shaping up this card nicely, I think putting Gilbert/Crusher fot the LW title would be good for this card and then you dont need Daley on this card.
This is millers last fight isnt it? So I wonder if he is UFC bound? Figure he wins this fight SF would offer him a new deal and a title shot since they have nobody else at LW after Lawler, so title shot in SF or UFC contract and be middle of the pack and have to work your way up?
Plus SF allows him freedom to fight in Japan if he wants, I dont think he would come ot the UFC, SF MW div is much easier and has more freedom and is one fight from another title shot, in UFC he would have to fight Belcher, Bisping, Okami, Nate, Akiyama, Vitor, Sonnen, Anderson, Maia, Stann, Wandi, Leben, Rivera,.
