Wonder if Anderson had some tips to give Feijao on beating Henderson. He’ll probably be in his corner. Very interesting fight. Think Feijao will be too big for Henderson
Feijao has been seeking advice from 3 guys that beat Henderson.
Silva and the Noguiera brothers. They’re all helping him for this fight. I expect Feijao to pace himself in the early rounds and possibly look for a submission victory in Rounds 3 or 4. Heck, but knowing Dan Henderson, Feijao will probably get a decision victory. If he stops Dan Henderson via TKO, I’ll be surprised.
Size matters not, especially against Henderson.
I tend to be biased towards strikers . . . exciting strikers.

I think that Hendo being stopped by T/KO would rank up there with Leben getting TKO’d by Stann and Fedor getting subbed by Werdum as far as “surprises” go.
I think Dan is gonna do what Dan always does; stalk with his right Hand-of-Doom cocked and ready to fly.

Every fighter has one rule....NEVER QUIT
Well that’s just a lie.
Meet me on Monsta Island. Where the girls look good and the MC's be Wildin'.
Also, follow me on Twitter @DeoWade
Most fighters believe that
I’ve heard a lot of fighters talk shit about guys who quit or tap to strikes.
Guys who quit in fights always say how much they regret it.
"I'll rock your body with big nasty hooks!"
I'm looking forward to this card.
I’m looking forward to seeing Masvidal fight, and to seeing whether or not Kennedy has anything for Melvin.
I know...no one cares, but I've got
Cavalcante via UD
Coenen via Sub
Kennedy via Sub
Masvidal vis UD

I’ve got the exact same picks. Pulling for Hendo though.

I hope Kennedy was kidding when he said he wanted to try and KO Melvin…that could be the worst decision he ever made.
Are our bones not dust?
Is our Blood not Poison?

So throw your dice and cast your shadow
You may look away

I dont like the 4 fight cards, and I could care less about female mma.
But Billy E/Masvidal is a good fight, and tim/Melvin is as well.
Three good fights on this card.
Im w/ you man.
Evertime people come over my house to watch SF events, they’re like thats it? Im like yea, its on Showtime. They gotta ask Showtime for a longer time slot, I want to see 7 to 8 fights before they go to ppv. Or maybe thats their strategy. Like 4 fights on Showtime, 10 on ppv, I dont know, just saying
It is pretty frustrating
Their inability to show prelims in between maincard fights gives even the free two hour UFC cards the chance to put out a much larger proportion of fightime per card

been seeing quite a few promos airing locally (in columbus) for this
tho mostly the earlier one that still includes tate.
gonna skip out on attending, but hopefully it’s a good card.
Still pissed
Strikeforce never sent out the pre-sale e-mail so I missed out on good seats when I found out they were on sale a couple of days later. I’ll still be going to the Arnold’s but probably going to pass this event.

![Tim Kennedy speaks to Sherdog Radio about his loss to "Jacare" Souza and his plans to KO Melvin Manhoef on March 5th at Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Feijao:
"That [Jacare] fight was totally crap," Kennedy said. "I sat there for 25 minutes and stalked the guy around the cage as he would peck me with the jab or throw an overhand right. Repeat for 25 minutes. That sucks. I, as a fan, would get bored with that fight. For crying out loud, come forward and fight me. You’re the greatest grappler on the planet. So I stuff you on a couple of takedowns, maybe try for a third one. If I take you down, maybe try to submit me. Don’t sit there and ride out a decision doing some fancy footwork for some so-called judges that are boxing judges. That’s stupid. If you’re going to win a title, come into the cage to fight."
"I’m not that kind of fighter," he explained. "I want to fight. I know everybody cares about who gets the W, but the fans want to see exciting fights. … Of course I like winning, but I like fighting. Fighting’s the essence of the sport, and that’s what people pay to see. If I’m going to take him [Manhoef] down, I’m going to pick him up and I’m going to slam him. I’m not going to stay tight for a close submission. I want to knock him out. That’s what fans like seeing and that’s what I like delivering."
