Re: Strikeforce: Nashville (Apr. 17th) 3 championship fights?!?! they could have a bunch of hobos fighting for the rest of the card it would still be sick.
Re: Strikeforce: Nashville (Apr. 17th) The event is a couple of weeks away and we're still a few fighters short. Starting to remind me of PRIDE.
Re: Strikeforce: Nashville (Apr. 17th) I read that since there are three championship fights, the card would be very thin.
Re: Strikeforce: Nashville (Apr. 17th) The whole show could be those three fights if they all go the distance, so yeah.

Re: Strikeforce: Nashville (Apr. 17th) The UFC is planning on running UFC 110 on Spike to counterprogram this event.
Re: Strikeforce: Nashville (Apr. 17th) Lashley and Britt not on the card. Preliminary bouts updated. The main card will only feature the championship bouts.
Re: Strikeforce: Nashville (Apr. 17th) Lame that they couldn't muster up one more half decent fight. The three fights on there are pretty damn good though.
Re: Strikeforce: Nashville (Apr. 17th) I don't think it is that lame. 3 championship fights that are all pretty good? I'll take that man. They've got enough prelim bouts to throw into the broadcast if the main fights end quick. Here's for another vicious Hendo KO!
Re: Strikeforce: Nashville (Apr. 17th) This is reportedly Jake Shields' last fight on his Strikeforce contract. The outcome of the fight will be momentous.

Re: Strikeforce: Nashville (Apr. 17th) Shinya Aoki has thrown down a guantlet--if he loses, Japanese MMA is over. It becomes a colony for US MMA. So he says.
Re: Strikeforce: Nashville (Apr. 17th) Yeah but I don't get what they mean by showing "at least part" of this fight.
Re: Strikeforce: Nashville (Apr. 17th) I like both Shields and Henderson. Should be a hell of a match.
Re: Strikeforce: Nashville (Apr. 17th) Here's hoping they show Miller's and King Mo's entrances. those alone should be epic Looking forward to the Aoki/Melendez and Mousais/Lawal fights. Hendo vs Shields could become a grapple fest of epic lay and Pray Proportions. Miller should win in the 1st round so long as he trained for the fight more than he's practiced his ring entrance.
Re: Strikeforce: Nashville (Apr. 17th) I'm excited for Mousasi and Lawal. I think King Mo might be too strong for Mousasi. When it comes to stand up, he should be able to KO King, though. I'll be rooting for him. Let's go, Hendo!
