      I dont think he means it like you are thinking, just having the fights they had lined up like Mousais/Babalu, Gil/Ishida, etc...are good fights

      Fights are not always 'great', but its still a fight

      Like Silva/Forrest, I was dissappointed Forrest got mauled, but it is still if a fight where I got to see And1's skill level and was impressed

      Just like Mousasi destroying Babalu, it sucks it happened that quick, but it was still an awesome finish

        The best thing that came of this was taking steps towards Mousasi becoming an actual draw in America.

              Anyone else feel like this was Rocky vs Clubber Lang 1?

              Gina was living the good life, photo shoots, do some training, interviews, apperences, etc.. while Cyborg was in the dungeon training her ass off, hungry and just waiting to kill Gina

              Wake up call for Gina, she needs the eye of the tiger back

                All shitty cards are shitty cards. UFC, Strikeforce and otherwise. Saying "God forbid this wasnt a UFC event" shows absolutely nothing. If it was a UFC event it'd be even worse because they have a deeper talent pool and are held to a higher standard.

                  We don't know if she did or didn't train hard. Cyborg was just too big and powerful for Gina, on top of that the pressure was a bit much. No matter how hard she trained those two factors wouldn't have changed.

                    If there was some beef and drama between the fighters he wouldn't be as upset about the event.

                      If there was actual competition I might've been impressed. I dont watch MMA for one-sided fights.

                      Im starting to believe Rob's not the only guy whos bias against the UFC on this forum. You guys will support anything without a UFC label on it even if its garbage. Pretty sad.

                      I, on the other hand, consider garbage to be garbage.. UFC, or otherwise. And I consider great events to be great events. Saturday was not the latter.

                        I wouldn't be buying UFC PPVs if I was biased against them.

                          I disagree. Just because you watch the UFC doesnt mean you cant be bias against them.

                            Anyone who thinks that the event wasn't garbage is lying. The last UFC event was definitely on par with this one, except that the UFC got a HUGE push for one of their biggest stars when Silva picked apart Griffin. Yes, Gegard was impressive, but not nearly to the level that Silva was.

                            As for Gina, if she faces Cyborg again, she will get destroyed again. I don't see any reason to do a rematch unless StrikeForce wanted to bury Gina.

                            For the casual fan, I don't think they were overly impressed with the event, just like UFC 101. The women's championship may have been full of action, but it wasn't even good action. It was Gina falling over randomly and cowering while getting destroyed by Cyborg. Babalu losing was not really that much of a thrilling win, it was a KO, but hardly an "Oh my god" type of KO. The rest of the fights were C-'s at best.

                            I think SF could have benefited from showing a good undercard match when the matches were going by so fast. It would have been a chance to showcase lower level talent and really bring in more fans if it was a solid fight.

                                Mr. "Im not bias against the UFC and I accuse ppl of stalking me" obviously finds this very difficult to see. To sane people this is quite obvious I feel..
