    Might stay up and watch it if I can find a decent stream.

    Never heard of any of the combatants except Gegard Mousasi.

    The first time two ladies have ever headlined a major MMA event so I'd be looking forward to seeing them in action.

    I will watch it tomorrow. Live streams are a waste of time as far as i'm concerned.

    Yeah but if you torrent the fights you know by the length of the files when they end.
    Huge spoilers.

    Never a problem for me as the shows are scheduled to run a certain length of time anyway. I never bother getting individual fights.

    Is there some where you can get good quality videos after fights happen for free? Someone mentioned torrents?
    I've only been able to find alright quality ones but they suck for watching fights as the good bits involves very fast motion (mma core in case anyone is interested).

    This show could have been so much bigger. Four or five drop-outs from the original card. I'm still looking forward to it though and I hope that it comes across well so that CBS are still interested in broadcasting some MMA

    I know that the smart money is on Cyborg, but with the pace that she sets and this being a 25 minute fight compared to the 9 minute fights that she's used to, I think that if Gina can just weather the early storm then she'll have a heavy advantage. Gina looks to be in her best shape ever, no problems with cutting weight. I hope that the length of the fight doesn't work against how exciting the womens fights usually are

    Mousasi and Babalu should be good. I think that people are underestimating Babalu, although I still expect Mousasi to win

    Werdum weighed in about 30lbs lighter than in his last fight. I don't know why that might be, but it shouldn't affect him too much because his opponent is only 219lbs

    Hieron vs Taylor isn't on the main card now, but I'd still like to see it

    Both girls made weight, be interesting to see how it plays out if it goes the distance. I'd still fancy cyborg to get it done early enough though

    Babalu, Ishida, and Werdom to win the other fights

    On a 40" screen I would doubt it.

    It was perfect.


    If the Gina/Cyborg fight goes to 3rd/4th/5th rounds it is going to be terrible to watch. Both will struggle with the extra rounds and the longer rounds IMO.

    I give Babalu a very good chance of beating Mousasi but Mousasi edges it for me.

    On Werdum's weight he looked terribly out of shape in his last fight against Dos Santos, so that could be down to him working hard on his conditioning.

    They're airing some unaired fights as well as Akiyama vs Belcher and Brock vs Mir, although it will probably be over before Strikeforce's main event

    It'll hardly affect Strikeforce that much though, they won't be getting that many people watching their show

    Yeah going to watch it know, just starting.

    A mod should put a spoiler in the title, until then I'd say it's best to use spoiler tags.

    He is the real deal. Like Henderson, Anderson Silva, Frankiln he can fight at MW and LHW. I think he can take Silva.
