“Oh my favorite fighter lost in convincing and brutal fashion and my second favorite fighter dropped out of the tournament after a boring and deflating decision – this GP is bullshit!”
Obviously that’s not what Snowden suggests but what I read in almost every conversation concerning said Grand Prix. Imagine Fedor and Overeem making it to the final. No one would even think of calling that GP a disappointment.
My question...
Did the Strikeforce GP ever matter?
Good question, and with the way the brackets were set up, it was doomed from the start. It was clear from the beginning that they had set it up so that all the top seeds were fighting off each other while the rest were in the other bracket. Anyone coming off the Arlovski/Barnett/Kharitonov/Rogers bracket didn’t deserve to reach the final without beating one of the favorites, that’s just ridiculous.
Yea
It was a bracket built to give us the best chance for the superfights people wanted most, not the most logical from a seeding perspective. I don’t have a problem with the matchups, it just never really seemed very much like a tournament to me.
no.
