Heavyweight tourney starts tonight

on Strikeforce. Not that any of you pussies care because it isn't the UFC. Stikeforce has better heavyweights imo.

 

[ELYEAH82]

I disagree. I dont think anyone in Strikeforce is close JDS or Valazquez. I also think Brock and Carwin beat them as well in a closer match. Who do you put in this calibre? Rogers? Arlovski? Fedor? Sorry I just dont see it.

Oh and I am a fan of both and did watch the strikeforce event

 

[GunsUp_ShootinBlanks]

Werdum, Silva, and Overeem I think could take any heavyweight in the UFC. Although I am sure each fight could go either way. I would argue Fedor before he got his ass kicked. The UFC has more talents in terms of the number of quality heavyweights, but I think either of those three could beat the vast majority on any given day. I will admit it was a bit of a flame to see if anyone would actually respond.

 

[ELYEAH82]

Werdum got KILLED by Dos Santos 1:21 first round
Overeem got KILLED by LHW Rua 3:37 first round
I dont see Silva getting past the fighters I mentioned.

 

[GunsUp_ShootinBlanks]

Fair enough. Like I said it was a bit of a flame. How long ago was the Overeem fight?

07, but if you look at his fights he hasnt had a legit fight in forever. He is hiding out in Japan where they dont test for roids

 

[GunsUp_ShootinBlanks]

Yeah he certainly looks like he has been on roids. Dude has got muscles on top of muscles.

He does, but he has NO chin. Like I said a LHW beat the shit out of him. SF seems to be a haven for roiders with the addition of Barnett.

Gotta make that money somehow, and with as big as UFC has become it is nearly impossible to challenge them in terms of ratings. That is the only reason they are having this tourney to begin with.

Yeah but it lost a lot of luster on Saturday. 2 of the names casual fans know are done. I do like some of their lower weights, Mayhem Miller, Nick Diaz and Melendez

 

[GunsUp_ShootinBlanks]

I think Souza is a straight beast.

 

[ELYEAH82]

I think Souza is a straight beast.

I think he is fighting Miller next, it should be a good one.

 

[GunsUp_ShootinBlanks]

God I wish I had Showtime. Makes me miss my home.

 

[ELYEAH82]

I got showtime just for fights, boxing and MMA

 

[GunsUp_ShootinBlanks]

I think that is why my pops got it as well. Dude loves boxing and has been getting into the MMA the past few years(SF anyways.) I miss seeing people straight beat the shit out of each other in the MMA, but I guess I will have to deal with just having HBO boxing for now.

 

[calsnowskier]

Now that UFC owns SF, will the winner of the tourney get a shot at the UFC HW Belt?

They clinch more in MMA than they do Boxing... Bunch of dudes humping each other in a cage.
