    wow, lost a lot of respect for Melendez, Diaz and Shield. Not a big fan of Miller but he didn't deserved to get jumped. I alway thought Shield looked like a geek and was probably picked on in high school, kind of like GSP was. but unlike GSP, who it made a better person, it made Shield a scumbag pussy who wastes everyone times and $$$$ whenever he fights with his scared to get hit panda/koala bullshit. The bitch had 25 minutes to hit Miller in the face but wasn't man enough to do it, yet, no surprise, he was far more courageous when all of his friends were around.

    Yeah, the sooner Jake Shields gets his head ripped off, the better for Strikeforce. Boring ass mofo! Dan the clown Henderson wasn't up to the job.:lol:

    As usual it's the hanger-ons that start shit. They should start limiting entourages and holding them responsible for their behavior. This little incident could derail an entire company. This is what happens when Abercrombie and Fitch wearing scrubs have a little martial arts training.

    It was that Melendez motherf*cker who started sh*t. All Miller did was ask for a rematch and Shields was equally friendly until Melendez pushed Miller and then Shields got in a few shots while Miller was trying to fight off the entire camp.

    So because Melendez has a hispanic surname, he's not part of the A and B wearing crew?:laughing: These guys were looking for any excuse to get some camera time.

    Even the crowd was disgusted.

    I've never liked Melendez, it just seemed like something wasn't right about him. Turned out to be true

    that whole event sucked ass. mma at its worst (even w/ good fights on paper) is just as bad as a shitty boxing card if not worst.

    Yep, all those fights went the distance and 97% of them all involved what the majority of fans are complaining about...."Guys rolling around on the f*cking ground!"
    I can't believe how pathetic Henderson is off his back. And Mousassi was a complete disgrace. Basically taken down at will by a guy with no stamina after the 2nd round.:laughing:
    The most exciting part of that event was Jason Miller taking on the entire Shields camp. That was fun!

    I completely agree about Shields, he looks like a total fucking dork. In fact I can't stand the guy. I can't believe he managed to beat even a washed up Hendo.

    And hanzy - shields didn't get in any shots, he made a feeble attempt to land one, but it didn't connect.

    And what pathetic faggots melendez, the diaz brothers etc are.

    I thought the Mousasi-Lawal fight wasn't as bad as some made it out to be. the first 2 rounds were exciting and I thought Mousasi work from the bottom made it closer than most had. What shocked me was that MO had the better of the standup exchange for the most part and that Mousasi was probably more gassed than him. That was very disapointing. And big John messed up by not getting them up enough. I don't care that you have side control, if you don't do anything with it you should get standed up

    Martinez/Pavlik was a better fight on paper than Henderson/Shields imho. I knew that would turn out to be a good fight, and the mma fight would most likely be either a boring 5 rounds wrestling match or a first round KO for Henderson.

    Yep, you're right. A pathetic girly punch grazed the top of his head

    No way was Mo getting the better in the stand up. That waas the only bright spot for Mousasi in the whole fight, he was catching Mo on his feed for the short time they were there. This is why Mo resulted to his lay and pray tactics.

    Well we basically saw what these fighters are really about at this point in time.

    Henderson is definately on a decline possibly with a back injury going into the fight.

    Shields is now officially the most boring fighter on the planet with one of the worst stand up games I have ever seen.

    Mousasi was definately overrated. I guess this is proof that you can NOT be considered pfp material from being fighters like Sokoujou, Manhoef, and Babalu. He also seemed waaaay no relaxed in that fight for my liking, almost like he didn't give a shit.

    Mo is your typical 1 dimensional wrestler. Although a very good one, he likes the lay and pray and has a poor gas tank.

    Aoki is as 1 dimensional as they come and has zero punch resistance. The guy has no business fighting outside of Japan or BJJ tournaments.

    Melendez is a good fighter who has a great gas tank and is very game. No complaints with his perforance last night, besides his encore fight of course.
    That was classless.

    Disappointing night for Strikeforce to say the least. One of the most boring fight nights that I can remember, and on top of that it was on network TV. Add the chaos that took place at the end and Dana White is jizzing himself.

    Maybe, but the Strikeforce card had 3 championship fights. On top of that, 2 of the presumed top 10 fighters in the sport were on the card. Unfortunately they didn't live up to their ranking, but they were on the card. And to me, I was anticipate the Strikeforce card far more than the HBO Doubleheader.

    Ummm, you do realize that TFK picked guys that were big betting favorites? Right?

    Which means the majority of people involved 'don't know shit' based on your hater rationale.

    By the way, I picked 2 of 3. Does that make me the resident Fightbeat MMA expert?

    I agree.

    Trpl - "Not even close on paper" is a ludicrous thing to say.

    Ok there were 3 championship fights, but it thought it was clear as day that Pavlik - Martinez would be better and more entertaining than any of them.

    Given the styles of Shields and Aoki, it was fairly obvious they would be boring fights. Mousasi - Mo had the potential to be more exciting than it was on paper, but not the other two.

    Really? Maybe I am just a bigger MMA fan than most, but the long awaited debut of Henderson in Strikeforce, and the arrival of Japenese sensation Aoki, and the idea of King Mo being thrown in against Mousasi in only his 7th fight, had me far more excited than watching Kelly Pavlik.

    Nah, my point is, nobody is in a position to disrespect or ridicule anybody else's opinion on an MMA forum no matter how much MMA knowledge you claim to have. TFK enjoys disrespecting people for their opinions. As a matter of fact, most of these know it all motherf*ckers will always talk sh*t like "Go post on Sherdog with the other noobs!"
    At the end of the day, nobody knows a f*cking thing about anything. A bunch of self-ass kissing Max Kellerman types who think watching MMA religiously makes their opinion any more important than anybody else's.
    So a big F U to the so-called experts!:lol:

    It was a very good card on paper. I was just as excited for the Strikeforce event as I was for Pavlik/Martinez I had both events on at the same time and during the first round, I was watching Henderson more than the Pavlik fight.

    Once the lay and pray started I was watching Pavlik/Martinez almost exclusively except in between rounds. You gotta go where the action is. It has worked the opposite as well. I have tuned off from boxing to watch MMA.

    The last UFC and the last Strikeforce weren't very good events. Good thing Strikeforce was free.

    I think it's worse than boring boxing. And the fights were good on paper.

    I don't know if this will have any impact long-term on mma, but I think it could. MMA has sucked in a lot of casual, younger fans, and even chicks. These types of fans tend to appreciate the explosive KO's. For two weeks in a row, big, hyped cards have not only failed to deliver, they have delivered boredom in a big way.

    No way that this will not turn off some of the casual fans who are used to seeing frequent violence that mma usually delivers.

    Actually, I never disrespect people for their opinions. I only disrespect them for their pathetic attempts at trolling. But mostly, like with the overwhelming majority of your trolling, I just ignore it, since there's no point in even replying to it.

    So me posting up an article claiming some very valid points regarding why Dana White is bad for the UFC is trolling? All the while, about half the forum agrees with me.
    It's ok if you don't like what I have to say. But I'm sure many others on here do. Even if they disagree, they can reply with their own points. It's the reason we even post on a forum to begin with.:lol: To debate!

    Fair enough. I've done the same thing. Not last night, but in the past.
