Strikeforce Aug 15

[White Shogun]

Just an FYI, Showtime will show Strikeforce tonight, starting at 730 PM PST. Gina Carano v Cris Cyborg will be the headline event, the first time a women's bout has headlined a major MMA event. The full televised card is as follows:

MAIN CARD (BEGINNING AT 7:30PM):

Gina "Conviction"Â￾ Carano (7-0) vs. Cris "Cyborg"Â￾ (7-1) â€" 145lb Female Championship Bout

Renato "Babalu" Sobral (35-8) vs. Gegard Mousasi (25-2-1) - Light Heavyweight Championship Bout

Gilbert "El Nino"Â￾ Melendez (15-2) vs. Mitsuhiro Ishida (18-5-1) â€" Lightweight Interim Championship Bout

Jay "The Thoroughbred" Hieron (17-4) vs. Jesse "JT Money" Taylor (13-3)

If you guys are unaware, the Sobral - Mousasi and Melendez - Ishida fights are great matchups. Sobral is on a 17-2 fight streak I believe.

UFC is countering the Strikeforce show with a replay of UFC 100 on Spike. As I mentioned on the UFC 100 thread, I missed the show but have no desire to see Forrest or Florian get beat down, so I'll be watching Strikeforce.

Regardless, whichever show you watch - enjoy the fights!

Shogun you are thinking of the most recent show 101. UFC 100 features Gsp, Lesnar, Mir Alves, Bisping and Henderson, Jon Fitch

Yeah he probably meant 101, but indeed they are showing UFC 100 Lesnar vs Mir as well as something called UFC Ultimate 100 which is a five part series of UFC's 100 best matches. I guess UFC is smart enough to know where there bread is buttered, and it AINT! Anderson Silva.

You guys are right! I did confuse the two. And me a huge fan, lol. Too funny.

I saw UFC 100, so I'll still be watching Strikeforce tonight. At least I don't know who wins yet.

Gina Carano lost to Cyborg.

I say Tara LaRosa's the best P4P female MMA fighter (IMO). Carano & Cyborg are tough gals as well. Too bad Hieron beat Taylor in that Caste matchup

, but White Justin Wilcox sub'd mulatto (?) fighter David Douglas

.

mousasi is on the road to greatness, this guy is good, really good

 

[Bear Backer]

Is there an outlet to watch Strikeforce besides Showtime and HD.NET?

 

[whiteathlete33]

I'm pissed that Carano lost. Cyborg looks and fights like a man. Hell some guys would probably be afraid to fight her.
