HaymakerJnr Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Watching a strikeforce event is like watching the old WCW as it tried to rival the WWE....they try too hard to make it work! I mean interviewing a fighter just before they ring walk....i was half expecting Shields to come out of no where with a steel chair and bring his own referee so he can pin hendo for the 123.....!

scotty1875 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I dont see why people dont seem to be able to enjoy watching both promotions, both have their good and bad points but at the end of the day both manage to put on entertaining shows 9 times outta 10.

UFCCagerattler Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I have to say that the Fedor event went off much better than this one. The whole show seemed to be out of sync. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see the computer simulation they did of Shields vs Hendo, Haha that was funny, Imagine Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg talking through some footage from Undisputed in the build up to a fight - who thought that was a good idea?

HaymakerJnr Posted April 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Obviously watching it through 'UFC Tinted' glasses. I enjoy watching lots of promotions....i used to watch Strikeforce/Elite XC all the time, as well as IFL and K1....i just cant stand when promotions try too hard Lets be honest: The Commentary is shocking - i mean the guy makes up words! The fights dont tend to be exciting unless you got Diaz, Fedor or Rogers fighting, The Octagon looked cheap and tackie The gloves looked of poor quality (on going issue with Strikeforce) The ring announcer is rubbish The pre fight interviews are gay The post fight "fight" was pathetic The show is a shambles....simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Droop Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 the biggest thing that i thought was funny was how they kept trying to push that they are the biggest and best mma promotion i was like huh are they forgetting about ufc and imo only one i want to see come from there to the ufc is fedor i think the rest wouldnt have a chance at a belt and anyone who thinks king mo would have a shot is crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hendo84 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 the broadcast on bravo in the uk was terrible only 2 fights and they weren't that great either, the 1st fight they showed was king mo and that took 20 mins to start due to adverts and by the time it finished an hour was up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uno2343749 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Watching Strikeforce show over the weekend was like watching an under ground wrestling company trying to compete with the big dogs. Its was terrible, Mo and Mousasi would get drilled in the UFC, I hope Dana doesnt sign any of them because the first death may actually occur in the octagon. Shield would do fine but not champion material but could be a contender. I was very disappointed in Strikeforce, Strikeforce should make an agreement with the ufc to become a minor league for up and coming fighters giving them the experience they need to make a run at the UFC. I hope they don't come back to Nashville! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mousasi would be an instant threat to the LHW belt. Obviously, the only weak facet of his game is takedown defense; however, he did a lot of damage from his back through striking. The Lawal/Mousasi fight was a joke and a minor speedbump in Mousasi's eventually legendary career. Machida vs. Mousasi would be a technically brilliant bout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo is not a great fighter, ran out of gas and couldnt finish the fight. Mousasi defense of strag was great and for the most part looked as he still had energy in him. Why he didnt beat Mo when he was tired beats me. But you know Mousasi would have a very tough time with top UFC LHW fighters because majority have condition, striking and ground game. They are different fighters then MO who wouldnt make it in the UFC but some how manage to become champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a 15 fight win streak he was probably feeling near invincible and may have taken King Mo lightly. Shockingly enough, Mousasi gassed around round 4ish. He should have finished him in round 2. I think Mousasi will look at this fight a million times and it will inspire him to move from near invincible to invincible. dudes only 24, right? he needs to get back to the bag, train takedown defense and head to the UFC. i still think he could hang with most of the LHWs. the only one he might have a problem with is Rashad because Rashad is a wrestler.
