    I hope Staring, Herman, and Guelmino were given a nice payday for coming out tonight.

    Gotta admit the main event is the most competitive fight on the card and yet it is the one I'm least interested in watching.

    Never mind, that was a good performance by Saffiedine that made the main event compelling.

    Nate Marquardt's leg is jacked.

    Tarec Saffiedine is the quintessential Strikeforce fighter. Worked his way up from the Challengers series, built a name for himself, earned a title shot and got his gold at the last event.

    Scott Coker not exactly happy but cordial as he thanks the fans and athletes for their help in building the promotion. Sad to see it go.

    Would you guys rather see Mousasi at MW or LHW in the UFC?

    Didn't see the fight but it sounds like KJ Noons did more work and was worked over by the judges. Ryan Couture said after the fight he thought that Noons would get the nod.

    Re: Strikeforce: Marquardt vs. Saffiedine [live right now]

    I understand it was hard for Strikeforce to get guys to fight. Hell, they couldn't get half their own fighters on the show. But I'm surprised the athletic commission in OK was okay with Staring facing Cormier and Guelmino facing Barnett. Those were dangerously lopsided fights. Barnett actually didn't throw but one or two punches in his; I think he went easy on the dude. Cormier didn't want to punch either but it was because he wanted to not break his hand for once. Pointless fights for both guys to take and especially for Cormier he had a lot to lose.
