Strikeforce L.A. Spoilers


KJ Noons vs. Conor Heun

Spoiler

Noons wins by Split Decision - Sloppy ass fight. Heun took the fight on 2 weeks notice though. Noons on the other hand just looked out of shape.

Tim Kennedy vs. Trevor Prangley

Spoiler

Kennedy wins by Sub (RNC) Rd. 1 - Got the choke while Prangley was on his feet trying to shake Kennedy off!

Marius Zaromskis vs. Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos

Spoiler

Cyborg wins by TKO Rd. 1 - Good fight! Lot of back and forth striking then Zaromski got hurt with a head kick and his stupid ass decided to rush in with a weak flying knee ala Arlovski and MISSED and when he landed Cyborg dropped him and finished with a few shots. Cyborg looks good at 170 lbs. Faster and more energized than he did at MW.

Not sure why, but this show is using bland, generic techno music for EVERYTHING!

Tim Kennedy won, that's all I care about tonight.

He's an awesome guy with a decent resume. I would love to see him in the UFC. TUF would be a great way to bring him in.

 

[Vader AL]

"..dropped him like names at a Hollywood party.."....I'll bet he's been waiting to use that line all night.

Mauro is by far the most annoying, unfunny lead announcer in all of MMA.

 

[daikkenaurora]

I'll check a few of the fights out later.

I'm watching the TUF season recap. I missed the first half of the season or so... I didn't see Rich Attonito power bomb Casey Uscola. What a slam. Now I'm looking forward to Rich vs Yager.

Yager of course acted like an a-hole to make sure he got a fight in the finale. Hopefully Rich runs right through him.

Robbie Lawler vs. Renato "Babalu" Sobral

Spoiler

Babalu wins by Decision

Pretty good event. Nothing spectacular or memorable but good for a free card. Lawler vs. Babalu is hands down the stupidest match-making Strikeforce has ever done though. And that's saying a lot considering past matches they've made. They put a MW into a catchweight fight with a LHW and the winner.. wait for it.. gets a title shot in their normal weight class. WTF!?

 

[nash]

anyone got website links that show videos of the fights after they happen?

If any of the videos fail just keep checking back. They'll re-up new links.

That makes as much sense as a guy losing his last fight getting a title shot.

Strikefarce.

Strikefarce.

And people wonder why Dana White thinks so little of them.


TUF Marathon this saturday for those who have missed it.

And people wonder why Dana White thinks so little of them.

I feel the same way. Granted I just like to watch the sport, but to take any of it seriously isn't really possible for me.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Yeah i think Strikeforce just doesnt have enough fighters to carry any real competition with any of the other organizations or themselves for that matter which is why this kind of stuff is happening. Basically just the same guys fighting each other over and over...makes for not very exciting fights. Still fun to watch regardless. I was impressed by Noons striking though, he definetly brough his boxing to the cage. Thought it was cool to see that.

 

[daikkenaurora]

I still have to watch the even but my problem is those Showtime commentators. They suck.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

I actually really like Mauro Ranello...I dont know how to spell his name, but hes pretty good to me. I dont mind him as a commentator, hes pretty educated on the sport and hes been around for a while from Pride and a few other events.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Yeah they're pretty horrible most of the time.
