FYI for you guys - this is Showtime's free preview weekend, so everyone with cable or satellite should be able to tune into this one without fussing with streams.

Sweet, I'll get this one on the box. Hoping to see some sparks...

Cyborg just tested positive for roids, wonder what that's going to do to the women's branch of the promotion.

Heh, of all the women in MMA, if we had to take a guess who would be caught juicing, I think most of us would have singled her out.

As such, this just isn't too shocking to me, and I don't imagine it will have much impact on the promotion in general. Granted the 145 pound division will be without a champion for a minute, but so long as there's cute chicks who can rip your arm off, I think women's MMA will carry on and Strikeforce would be foolish to drop one of the few things that differentiates them from other promotions.

 

[Mr. Bongjangles]

LMAO @ this dude's head -

 

[Grendelkhan]

Cyborg is totally on juice. She sounds like China used to sound and by that I mean she sounds like a man trying to sound like a woman. This is Jardine's first time fighting at this weight class I can't imagine him having much of a tank with all that weight lose. It can be done but usually it takes a bit to get used to that weight cut. I am curious to see how king lawal does. I want to see if he's stepped up his striking or is he going to rely on wrestling like he usually does. Good fights and good night.

 

[joe fresh]

im gonna watch this for lawler alone...at times he is very exciting to watch

 

[Shcrews]

Funny they only just now caught her. In Brazil, steroid use is common among females, believe it or not. They do it to have large thighs/butts/muscles. Steroids readily available there.

wtf is up with the refs? they keep standing it up at the wrong times and not standing it up when they shoudld...


and the crowd seems really really out of it...

 

[Shcrews]

damn Lorenz Larkin never had a chance

yah some weird standups, but hey the wrestlers are still winning! i thought the Larkin stoppage was legit, not sure why they brought it up

 

[RetroGrow]

This should be good. I like to watch good strikers.

 

[RetroGrow]

Did anyone else notice on the replay that the flying knee missed and went right over his head?

 

[Shcrews]

i think it grazed him... when Lawler landed on top he went right to Ground n Pound mode though..

how about the great acting job by Lawler after that illegal knee? GODDAMN they need to change that rule. allow kicks and knees on the ground like the Japanese do.

[Warped1]

Damn I missed it...took the wife to dinner. I won't let that happen again lol. Youtube here I come.
Shcrews I suppose they have to try to keep fighters from getting killed. I don't know if you've ever seen UFC's 1-4, but in my opinion they were the best. Royce Gracie is my hero

 

[Shcrews]

HAHA that wikipedia ....

you know, I actually saw Tyron Woodley fight live in San Jose. He knocked out his opponent, and i became a fan.

however, since then he has become a glorified blanket, even more boring version of John Fitch.... I hope he sees how Fitches career is turning out.
