the Main event and Co-main event are awesome. I couldn't care less about Jardine but it's funny to watch him get Ko'd all the time.

Good card.

Pat Healy fights Melendez next if he were to win this, so a reason to watch the prelims.

This is prol a better card than UFC 148, but without the huge main event.

Very looking forward to most these fights, although Marquardt is one of my faves him vs Woodley promises to be the worst fight of the year though. Just hopeful NATE DA GR8 takes the title from that boring ass clown.

Wow Rockhold and Kennedy is way interesting too me.

Nate could care less about him or Woodley, hopefully fight is good.

Gracie vs Jardine is whatever too me.

Also why is Lawler still in SF?

Overall should be a fun 2 hours. Idk why but strikeforce cards are always fun to just watch. I just kinda wish they added more fights to card than just four. I mean really they don't do commercials for there shows. All they do is promote upcoming stuff on showtime. It would be nice if they gave us five or maybe six fights. I do not care if they are not big name just give me some diversity.

I am tired of watching a Strikeforce card and saying oh look there is KJ Noons, Robbie Lawler, Gilbert Melendez, Tim Kennedy, Josh Thompson, Paul Daley etc. I just want to see other fighters. Not just the big name. I mean I have showtime so I understand they want it where the audience cares about these fighters and name recognition. It would be cool though to have more than just big names. I mean look at Rockhold. He won on challengers for his title fight, and honestly who watches challengers.

It shows that challengers is not that important, and also the fact you do not show any undercard fights during the main card really hurts. Today fight fans want to see the main card because that is where the best fights are suppose to happen. Sometimes that is not the case, and you will get a better fight on the undercard. I just want something different when it comes to to Strikeforce. Still like that it is around, but just want some diversity.

Larkin vs Lawler is on right now. Two dudes are just wailing at each other. Why is Lawler still fighting in strikeforce? Thought by now he would be on sharkfights.

So far Lawler is just clinching Larkin against the cage. Lawler got a huge knee to the face and is now damage.

Larkin looked good in this fight. Lawler looked so bad, oh well dunno how the judges are going to score this one.

Lorenz Larkin won via UD 30-27 by all three judges, and he is still undefeated. Well if you don't count his NC than he has lost once, but that is just getting technical. Also Lorenz shows us his two pack, and gets on his knee, and begs Dana for StrikeForce to get bonuses since they are family. I like that move, gets you popular with the guys, and it shows you care about everyone else who works there ass off in SF. I mean might as well do it Dana, would be nice, but idk how that will happen.
