StrikeForce KO's UFC

Man StrikeForces card was better on paper and it was fucking epic

3 Brutal stoppages, great night, minus Mauro

and then there was TUF 12 Finale

man what a pile of dog shit this event ended up being... god damn that was boring..I started doing a study guide during it it sucked that bad

I agree. Strikeforce killed the UFC tonight.

A major event for Strikeforce being more entertaining than the TUF Finale isn't really that surprising but that card did have some sick finishes

would you call that a major StrikeForce card???

it was hardly advertised

About t watch UFC, it would be tough for anything to match the entertainment SF put on tonight. Real pleasing results for fans regardless of who you rooted for.

Yeah SF showed they have some very talented guys but there were definitely some miss matches on there card tonight. Great show but alittle misleading.

I bet TUF did better numbers...

And TUF Finales are bottom of the barrel in the UFC, lets not act like this was a top PPV or something.

4 brutal stoppages*

Kyle getting KO'd after nearly beating Silva himself was buried by the rest of the epic.

Yeah but TUF was on basic cable so of course the numbers will be better.

None of that has any bearing on what was better though. This card delivered excitement.

That was FotN for me. Up and down to both extremes, Kyle lost but like we discussed in the earlier thread about his taking the fight, his stock was not damaged tonight in my opinion at all.

my fault your right wolf

guys neither one of these cards had much press
if anyone had more its TUF simply cause more people have access to it

everytime StrikeForce outshines UFC does everyone have to show up in "UFC didnt try tongiht bro"

bottom line UFC is number 1 in the MMA market and their product was boring as shit tongiht, StrikeForces wasnt

Maybe one mismatch, Lindland vs Lawler. I don't think Daley vs Smith was a mismatch on paper. Daley won and went in as the favorite, but a fight that isn't even isn't necessarily a mismatch.

Does Strikeforce ever have a lot of advertising?

I just wish I could have watched Hendo kick ass tonight!

The SF event KO's every UFC event this year, save silva vs sonnen.

Daley vs Smith was the only fight that wasnt a mismatch in my opinion.

Werdum Fedor, Fedor vs Rogers and Hendo vs Shields all had alot of press

this not so much

An event with predictable KO's, minus the quality of Daley's KO is the best event of the year?

Thats my point also.

Hendo vs Sobral was a mismatch?

The only shitty part about Strikeforce was that Kyle didn't finish Silva because he's freak oversized head could absorb those hammerfists

To me absolutely. Was there anybody on this board at all that thought Sobral had a shot at all? I figured Hendo would dominate, maybe just not as fast as he did.

The KO's were predictable because the guys doing the KOing are major power punchers.

Only LA would discredit SF for their sluggers KOing their opponents.

I don't get your angle LA, you didn't appreciate the fights? Everyone was down to throw down, and 4 dudes were ko'd in 4 fights, it was like the perfect storm most MMA fans always hope for.
