Strikeforce: Overeem-Werdum 6/18/11 (Prediction Contest)

just wanted to throw this out there. On the untelevised card Magno Almeida is fighting Connor Huen. Keep an eye on Almeida. BJJ black belt with decent Mauy Thai. I have got to see him a few times on HDnet, they were local orgs and so on so the comp was not all that but he really impressed me with his fluid transitions. Not saying he'll be a world champ, so don't start hating on the guy, just saying he's fun to watch from what I have seen.:hammert:

 

I expect Almeida to win. Already have the scouting report on that guy.

Running through Mike Campbell was very impressive considering Campbell had just beaten Yves Edwards.

 

That was a real nice win, Mike Campbell isn't world class or anything, but he's been around the game and fought in WEC. Did you have Almeida in a prospect thread already? If you did, my bad homey, wasn't trying to steal your thunder.

 

No. I haven't done LWs. And he probably wouldn't have made the cut to be honest.

 

I only did top 5 plus a few sleepers.

 

fair enough, that sounds about right to me anyway. Kind of a sleeper top prospect. you watching these tonight?

 

Prelims are on right now. :Rubio:

 

I have to wait to watch them at 7pm on HDNet, fucking pacific time zone:goingmad:

 

I'm streaming them. I don't even have HDNet. ::

 

Same here.

You got a good stream?

 

Yep. HQ

 

:bears:

PM a brother.

 

Joe Ray is supposed to be the guy to watch but I'm taking the brother from Philly. :bears:

 

This brother needs to stop grappling!

 

Holy shit that was an intense round. He was close to 4 subs. If he doesn't win that round for the work from the bottom, I'll be pissed.

 

Fuck that, the Burrell won round 1. He had top control the whole round.

 

I know you're kidding

 

Philly! :bears:

 

"I'd like to see him go all Vancouver Riot on him.."

 

Silly Muay Thai fighters thinking they can go to MMA without any wrestling. athetic:

Burrell for SF champion 2012.

 

Connor takes Rnd 1....

 

• Heavyweight Grand Prix Quarterfinal bout: Alistair Overeem vs. Fabricio Werdum KO 2
• Heavyweight Grand Prix Quarterfinal bout: Josh Barnett vs. Brett Rogers SUB 2
• Lightweight bout: K.J. Noons vs. Jorge Masvidal KO 3
• Heavyweight bout: Daniel Cormier vs. Jeff Monson UD
• Heavyweight bout: Valentijn Overeem vs. Chad Griggs KO 1
  

 

Heun must be double jointed.

 

Amazing that his arm didn't snap..

This should be a fun final round.

 

"His arms are weaker, weak as a Lebron James 4th quarter.."

 

Give it to Almeida. I think that flurry was a Sugar Ray Leonard-esque just for show flurry rather than being a legitimate rally.

 

Great fight. Huen took it with the GNP in the final round.

Huen's performance makes me feel better by KJ Noons' lackluster win over Connor.

 

Yep. Fair.

 

I think they skipped a fight....

Like Wilcox in this fight via lay and pray decision.
