First off let me say that Strikeforce sucks balls at marketing and advertising. If it wasn't for a tiny little pop up on Sherdog, I would have not even known this card was this Saturday. Let's get the picks rolling here, trplsec hasn't started the thread so here is is. Sorry some pics are missing,I did the best I could. This is all of the main card, which I assume is all we will be picking. Good Luck. FEDOR EMELIANENKO VS ANTONIO “BIGFOOT†SILVA 32-2-1 230 lbs 6’0″ 34 Stary Oskol, Russia 15-2 265 lbs 6’4″ 31 ParaÃba, Brazil ANDREI ARLOVSKI VS SERGEI KHARITONOV 15-8 242 lbs 6’4″ 31 Chicago, Illinois 17-4 250 lbs 6’3″ 30 Tula, Russia SHANE DEL ROSARIO VS LAVAR “BIG†JOHNSON 10-0 240 lbs 6’4″ 26 Irvine, California 15-3 251 lbs 6’3″ 32 Madera, California CHAD “GRAVE DIGGER†GRIGGS VS GIAN VILLANTE 9-1 230 lbs 6’2″ 32 Tucson, Arizona 7-1 225 lbs 6’2″ 25 Bellmore, New York VALENTIJN “PYTHON†OVEREEM VS RAY “SUGARFOOT†SEFO 28-25 240 lbs 6’3″ 34 Amsterdam, Netherlands 2-0 240 lbs 6’0″ 39 Las Vegas, Nevada
Thanks Z.. And those are the only fights worth picking. I love the reserve bouts for the tournament. And believe it or not, Silva-Fedor is a great match up.
Wasn't trying to step on your toes brotha, just wanted to get it up as soon as possible so everyone has a chance to get the picks in. I seriously almost forgot about this card. There is zero hype. Sherdog used to go nuts when Fedor fought, not this time. If you're ever busy or just need a hand with anything for this contest let me know, I'm always willing to help.
Can a mod edit the thread title to include something about this being part of the prediction contest and also add the date of this card, which is this Saturday 2/12 Maybe sticky it too?
Maybe, or Arshotsky could stand around timid as usual, Fatarnov gasses after throwing 12 punches, and then we get a staring contest for 15 minutes. Either that or AA takes him down and grapples with him, and wins. Which I wager will happen.
LOL I stole yours but beat you for the week? That makes a lot of sense. That little contest between you and TLC would convince anyone to stay the fuck away from your sorry ass picks. :atu:
You stole my picks except changed the rounds to throw people off (got lucky in predicting the rounds better) Having said that make your damn picks already....I'm in second place so don't question my predicting skills. After this strikeforce event I will be in the lead so enjoy your first place for another couple of days p.s MAKE YOUR DAMN PICKS!
anyone going to this event? i'm going, but not really looking forward to much aside from the main event.
:giggle: Fuck it I'll post mine let him steal them again I don't care. Fedor KO1 Arlovski tko2 Del Rosario sub2 Overeem KO1 Griggs tko2
Fedor TKO 1 Sergei KO 1 Overeem Subs Sefo in 1 I'm gonna have to watch footage of the other fighters to give my picks.
Griggs is the dude who just beat up Lashley. The guy he's fighting is a smallish 220lbs wrestler with not much in the way of stand up. If that helps you at all.
