Man it's a good thing strikeforce.....

got that Babalu Gegard fight, otherwise this weekend's card would be lacking, Obviously diaz was the final(hopefully) kick in the gut for a card that lost 3 big names(not to mention all the rumors that fell through).

Yet the card is not half bad. People shot down my previous argument(why do all these fight cancellations only happen to non UFC orgs) based on the UFC's deep talent, well by putting togethor a decent card despite losing 3 big names Strikeforce is showing some pretty decent depth.

What blows my mind is that the girls are headlining this card? I might actually watch it all and turn off the main event because I don't want to see a pretty girl get her face smashed. IMO Mousasi-Babalu is good enough to headline a UFC card.

Im as psyched about Gina vs Cyborg as I have been about any fight since GSP vs Penn. Hopefully the result is not the same, ie one sided major let down(unless it is Gina laying the beat down of coarse).

Cyborg is going to make this ugly fast. She's just a better athlete and get her hands on Gina and beat her senseless. I hope there is a very quick stoppage.

Gina may get brutalized, but Gina knows how to fight. Maybe she'll out work Cyborg. She will have to stay elusive and not get hit. Fight like a champion.

Affliction cancelling has at least saved this card, with Hieron and Babalu-Mousasi all stepping in.


Hieron vs Taylor is still a huge match up for the division outside the UFC. I can appreciate the fight.

Gina can hold her own but I feel she is going to get "man" handled
