Strikeforce 30

SDM · Post #1 » by **SDM** » Wed Dec 22, 2010 5:18 pm

January 29th, 2011.

Welterweight Championship bout: Nick Diaz (c) vs. Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos
Middleweight Championship bout: Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza (c) vs. Robbie Lawler
Roger Gracie vs. Trevor Prangley
Herschel Walker vs. Scott Carson

Interested in the Gracie fight... Prangley's very experienced and well-rounded, though not really *good* at anything. Still a better test than Randleman.

Diaz deserves to be in a better fight. He's gotta look at coming over to UFC once his contract's up.

Is it mandatory that you two always have to use the same avatar?

Mayhem was supposed to fight Tim Kennedy and Fedor was supposed to fight Bigfoot. Both are likely fighting in February now. :-?

No, coincidence. I had it, he asked me how he could change his to it.

Jacare is a Top 10 any weight class fighter IMO....Gregard got upkick KO , if not for that Jacare would have beat him.

Watch for Jacare...he's the best Submission fighter in the past 10 years and his standup is getting better.....just watch.

Jacare is a badass, no doubt. He may very well have top 10 P4P talent, but at this point it's hard enough to put him in the top 10 at MW, let alone P4P. I like this fight though. I don't care how much he has improved his standup though, he had better be careful about standing with Lawler. Hopefully he's smart enough to just play to his strengths and exploit Lawler's weakness and take him down for a sub.

Diaz vs. Cyborg is just another reason why Diaz should be in the UFC. I guess T-Wood isn't ready yet, but is Cyborg even a top 25 WW?

I guess Roger Gracie is the one that's actually decent, but it's hard for me to get too excited for a fight involving a Gracie and Trevor Prangley in 2011.

Herschel Walker vs. Scott Carson...**** off.

If he is, then so are Joey Villasenor and James Zikic, who both beat him recently. Such a disappointing fight.

Mandatory? Is it mandatory that I drink my own urine? No, but it's sterile and I like the taste.

If Jacare stands with Lawler, he will be picking his head up off the floor.

True......He(Jacare) should try to get lawler down asap........But I think Jacare is gonna try to prove he has "standup" now. I hope his chin holds up.

Don't underestimate Cyborg. He looked great his last fight. I'm OK with that fight.

People are too upset over the Cyborg fight. Especially considering it's likely going to be a candidate for fight of the year.

Mismatches all around, but it should still be fun.

Mismatching fighters with name value is what Strikeforce does. They could care less if a fight will be good, as long as you have heard of both guys. As long as Strikeforce exists, Kevin Randleman will always be able to get a fight.

Which mismatches?

Walker fight. How is it even possible for two guys with less than 5 wins apiece all against no-namers to produce a mismatch?

Prangley is legit, Gracie is inexperienced, I'm actually not sure why Gracie is the favorite.

Jacare/Lawler? I wouldn't feel comfortable betting either way.

Cybord/Diaz is the biggest mismatch but its not like Cyborg doesn't have a shot at it.
