Third was a close round, i guess I'll give it to Thompson because he did some damage to Gil's face. The 4th round about midway through has been all Gill though. Only one more round.

Thompson comes out of no where with a rear naked choke for the last like minute and a half of the fight, no idea how Gil survived that. He's going to have to really show up in this 5th and final round.
Damn. What a fight, It's going to be really close. Maybe one of my favorite fights of 2012 so far.
Gilbert wins by split decision, Josh Thompson being a little girl about it. It was really close though, I'll admit it. This probably could've been a draw.
Little girl he was showing emotion. Trust me I would be mad too by a close decision like that.
Also Cormier looking good right now.
Cormier is destroying Barnett. Not surprised, Barnett is not the same as he was before. I mean his last win was against Sergei who is decent at best. Cormier is looking good though.
After 4 rounds, I'd say Cormier is winning this fight. Disappointing, but it's still been a great fight regardless. That huge slam earlier on was pretty sick.
Man, Barnett's face is so messed up.
And yeah, the Heavyweight card is going to be pretty awesome as well.

Fights over, Cormier wins.
I never gave him any credit at all, but he looked legit in this fight. He dominated all 5 rounds, think he could be a force when he makes the eventual move to the UFC.

Awesome night of fights, I wasn't happy that Cormier took the win but it was an amazing fight so it's alright. GIlbert/Thompson was another awesome fight and was really close, probably should've went to a draw but it didn't.
Next Strikeforce event, July 14th.
Luke Rockhold vs. Tim Kennedy
Nate Marquardt vs. Tyrone Woodley
Going to be another quality night of fights, Ronda Rousey should be fighting sometime soon as well. I don't think it's going to be on the June 14th card though.

Always give a fighter credit before a fight... really trust me you don't know how many Shogun fans I had to shut up the first time he fought Forrest.
