Strikeforce - Marquardt vs. Saffiedine Discussion

This actually turned out to be a pretty solid card after all the initial problems. Hopefully GLORY/DREAM will be next on Showtime after SF is dead and buried.

Yeah they have plenty of their great names there even if the opposition is not always the best. Still it's looking pretty good and entertaining. Won't miss this one, Strikeforce last steps .

Yeah, at first I thought this show might not even happen because it fell apart so fast right from the start. Glad they were able to put a solid card together for their last show.

Stacked card, just look at the names.. Marquardt, Saffiedine, Cormier, Barnett, Kyle, Mousasi, Souza, Gracie, Kennedy and Noons. Prime SF card.

Yeah, this is like old school SF (pre-Zuffa era).

I´m probably the only one but I´m rooting for Staring. The dutch deserves more respect.

me too! cant stand the american hype behind cormier

There are people telling me he would out box JDS

I dont even think he's very good and hasnt fought anyone elite (fuck barnett)

Stu - These type words are allowed here within reason. Just make sure no to use them to call names & demean other members, fighters, orgs, etc.

Josh is an elite HW. Bigfoot was top 10. I dont think he would out box JDS though.What is American hype?

Dana never wanted to steal all that talent.

funny how he's blaming showtime!

you're the one who stole the top talent and forced shitty main events and cards with only the main event being half a draw being canceled due to injury

WTF is he talking about? It´s Zuffas fault.

"what's happened over the last 8 months (since we bought SF) is disgusting"

He makes it sound like it´s someone elses fault. Dana is the master of blaming others.

Stu....don't go Dumbek level.

Dana has gone complete retard. If you didn't want the fighters to suffer, you would've bought them out completely! Strikeforce and TV deal included.

Picks:

Marquardt
Cormier
Barnett
Mousasi
Jacare
Gracie
Kennedy
Couture
Martins
Payan

Nicely put.

Yes, he does.

See the fine reading between the lines in the above quote though. By implication, he's basically blaming Zuffa (though obviously that's not what he's trying to do. By implication, it is what he is doing though.)

Insulting other forum members is not really acceptable here.

Wekka, you do so in your post.

Cormier hasn't beat anyone? lmao really? He ko'd bigfoot and had a excellent fight with Barnett. Cormier deserves some credit for that.
As for Dana acting like he has no clue why strikeforce went down its the same thing that always happens everything Zuffa touches turns to a big steaming pile of shit.

Agreed Cormier is legit, one of the few new breed fighters with solid combat sports background and talent.

Cormier might be over hyped because the HW division is thin. But JDS boxing was WAY overhyped too. Some people really thought he had a chance against A Klitschko.

Stu doesn't rate American wrestlers.

So Barnett doesn't rate by his criteria.

Also, Cormier is indeed himself an American wrestler. So he doesn't rate either.

what if cormier beat these american wrestlers?

JDS has zero chance vs any top/mid level boxer.

Why doesnt he rate them? Is that his gimmick or something?
