I'd say run it on a separate site, or give a link to it on your site. Just in case :P But I don't have a clue tbh..

Since the Zuffa purchase I found it 10 times more difficult to find SF videos online the following day. Anyone else finding it more difficult?

Yeah personally I haven't had any issues - anything in particular you are after?

Just saw that Couture predicts win for Werdum! http://bit.ly/randyprediction

There is nothing on their website either.

Oh_Noes

What time of the day does it start?

A 2am but be great but Strikeforce have been at 4am a few times and it's past my bedtime. Anyone know?

3hn2givr7mx1sc

Show starts on Primetime at 3am.

Why would Primetime be selling it as PPV if it was also on Setanta?

The UK don't have Setanta.

This is going to be an interesting fight. Top of the food chain striker Vs Top of the food chain grappler. Personally I think it's going to be a win for Overeem Via Knee to body first round. Not only is his stand up on a different planet from Werdum but physically he is on a different stage in evolution from Werdum, (Note Overeem out muscled him when he was fighting at LIGHTHEAVY)

Taking nothing away from Werdum, great MMA fighter, however he is going to have to take Overeem to the ground if he has any chance of winning, I cant see him getting anywhere near Overeem's legs without being severely punished.

Can't wait to see the Overeem nuthuggers eat humble pie again.

Overeem has been destroyed by anyone half decent (and weighing a lot less)

"he's a different Overeem, Ubereem, blah blah"

He's hasn't proved himself ever.

I am looking forward to this , but i will be away. I like Overeem and would really like to see what he can do in UFC. Oh and its not on Setanta .

Oh_Noes

Sure he'd only be fighting Tim Hague and Joey Beltran and that crowd in the UFC. Look what he did to Todd Duffee who was touted as the UFC's next big thing. He demolished him very quickly and easily. There's much better heavyweight pedigree in Strikeforce, he's better off where he is.

I'd highly doubt that, tbh. He'd be put straight in with the top in UFC, imo. Carwin or Lesnar I'd say.

El Guapo!

Should be a good fight. I hope there's a decent stream.
On the same night I'm looking forward to Brett Rogers-v-Josh Barnett. I hope Rogers wins. He's 13-2 with 10 by KO and his only 2 losses against Overeem and Fedor.

I'm just hoping that if Overeem gets any kind of clinch on Werdum he just jumps guard, can't see him surviving standing up with Overeem.

Really looking forward to this... War Barnett!!!

No he wasn't.
He scored a very quick knock-out that made people sit up and take notice, but 1 punch means nothing. In his next fight he went 3 rounds with Mike Russow and got knocked out, hardly the stuff of the next big thing. Then he was dropped

Xlami

Looking forward to seeing Cormier in his first real test. Unbelievable wrestler with an improving stand-up. He's still fairly young in his MMA career and trains with Velasquez daily. It'll be interesting to see how he develops, could be a title challanger someday.

Any news on what channel its on..... for those with NTL anyway?

Weigh in vid of Overeem and Werdum. Why did Mauro shave his head

PS. anyone find the full weigh in vid?

I'm looking forward to this a lot, its just a pity we've had to wait this long.

I hope Overeem wins even though it will be written off by the UFCers afterwards :rolleyes:

Just mentioning Duffee briefly, but did anyone else notice in Undisputed 2010 how Duffee rules the HW division after a few years?

TechnoPool

quick note when they show each fighters last 5 fights, Overeem has fought no one of note at all in them while werdums is a list of top names in the HW div

Still, Overeem finished every one of those in the first round, which is what you should expect of him if he really is as good as some think

He has eight first round finishes in the time since Werdum has had his last five fights

Not saying that proves anything, but at least he hasn't been struggling with these guys

Overeem will win tonight, don't forget to quote this after the fight.

p to the e

I see Jeff Monson is fighting on this card aswell. There's a blast from the past. He's on quite the winning streak aswell. Could be an upset as he's vastly the underdog going in according to PaddyPower.

MarkFairman

Gunnar match against him was awsome. How do you think it would fair in MMA?

MonkeyBalls

Looking forward to this. My predictions-- Ubereem is going to demolish Werdum - KO, and a brutal one too. & Josh will GnP the crap outta Rogers early, TKO

No Carano = No deal

So Mr. Fight Ireland, are we all set for tonight?

SDTimeout

Fight Ireland just a heads up, if it's found to your site it could ruin the work you've done. If your just embedding a code then it would be better to just post the original source here. I think Londoner is streaming this one anyway and he's usually the most reliable one out there.

Zero-Cool

Jaysus ya man, if theres a chance it will wreck the site, don't mind it. Well if anyone has any streaming links, i'll sure they will be posted here anyway. Looking forward to this!

Oh ya, the prelims are being shown on HDNET free at 1am. Not sure how it will work or what time but no harm keeping an eye on them.

Yeah dude. It'll be the "extra 40 pounds of whoop ass" - lolcano!

werdum will do a fedor on him and fake a knock down. When Overeem tries to finish he'll submit him.

ManofStraw

Anyone have a good streaming link for the fights tonight ?

That_Guy

While i agree that Overeem has never really been tested recently etc etc.

I still think he's going to take this by brutal KO. 4/6

Oh_Noes

I can't stay up to watch this live tonight so I'm hoping to watch it tomorrow.

Does anyone have a reliable source for downloading full events in decent quality the day after they've aired?

I don't want to search for it tomorrow because Google will smash me over the head with spoilers.

Zero-Cool

I'd say Uber has been watching Werdums fight with fedor very closely. If Werdum goes for a takedown, he will be decapitated by a knee. If he gets into a clinch Overeem will make bits of him. Werdum will need to have a serious gameplan going into this but it is possible he could win. Saying that, I can only see Ubereem demolising him.

I'll pm you the link tomorrow.

Oh_Noes

Really I'm thinking this is the classic fighter v. Grappler matchup.

I can see Overeem getting caught in something eventually if it's on the ground a lot but I can see Werdum getting outmatched if he can't get it to the ground.

All fights start standing so I think Overeem will take it.

I never said that but Overeem is a far more technical fighter than Werdum and will win tonight. If you want to wager money on it PM me.

Either way you are going to look silly in a few hours.

SanoVitae

I think it'll all depend on whether Overeem gasses with all the extra weight.

If Werdum can avoid getting KTFOed early on, he can definitely submit a gassed Overeem.

However, I think Overeem will pace himself, keep it standing all throughout and win by KO in the 2nd.

Zero-Cool

To get people into the mood, Overeem vs Duffee at Dream last year. Fight starts at 9:00 and ends at 9:51
