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 finishLast edited by Liquidrob; 08-17-2009, 03:31 PM.Liquidrob's Top 10 Fighters Rankings

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

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.Comment

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.Last edited by Kuzzy Powers; 08-17-2009, 04:38 PM.Comment

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.Comment
