Re: Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley (Apr. 9th) wow, this looks like it could be a sick card, it's already pretty damn good.
Re: Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley (Apr. 9th) DFW told Ariel Helwani that Paul Daley has a contract and it would be smart for him to honour it. However it seems Daley is intent on dicktucking a second time to avoid Nick Diaz.
Re: Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley (Apr. 9th) Three weeks away and still only four fights announced. Business as usual at Strikeforce--truth.

Re: Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley (Apr. 9th) Dunno why Strikeforce took the other one down... [video=youtube;VnaTOXhjwP4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnaTOXhjwP4[/video]
Re: Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley (Apr. 9th) Mike Kyle broke his hand in training. Strikeforce scrambling for a replacement fighter. You would think they'd have a few guys on call in case of something like this, right?
Re: Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley (Apr. 9th) Rumour had Cheick Kongo stepping in but now that is getting shot down.
Re: Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley (Apr. 9th) Keith "Suicide by MMA" Jardine will replace Mike Kyle vs. Gegard Mousasi. Nice knowing you, Keith.
Re: Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley (Apr. 9th) Good Lord, I hope they're bringing out a gurney to the cage with Keith.
Re: Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley (Apr. 9th) It's Tuesday and the fight card is already finalized. In fact I think it was finalized last week. Pretty good for Strikeforce. Usually we don't know all the fights until the weigh-ins. Paul Daley's going to get boxed up and tapped; can't wait to see it.
Re: Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley (Apr. 9th) Name-dropper Franklin McNeill has picked Jardine to beat Mousasi. Stranger things have happened but Jardine (4-7 since 2007) beating Mousasi (15-1 in same time period, plus two wins in K-1) would be a MASSIVE upset. BetUS has Mousasi as a conservative 4-to-1 favourite. I would have stretched out the line more than that but I'm not an oddsmaker.

Re: Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley (Apr. 9th) Two things I am hoping for, that I remember to watch this thing tonight, and that Shinya Aoki fucks up fancy pants.
