    Barnett: "...obviously, when a slugger comes, he's dangerous."

    Strange vibe at the Strikeforce show tonight.

    Well, that was a wet fart of a main event. A three minute slap fight finished with Shields jumps onto LOL'r and secures a guillotine. Gus Johnson embarrasses himself overselling the finish.

    Rogers needs to find his way to the UFC if he keeps improving. If he wants to be a star, get to the UFC.

    Arlovski...my God, man...please don't go into boxing. Please. Actually maybe you should just be a trainer or something. That might be one of the weakest chins I've seen.

    Arlovski vs. Houston Alexander. The 1st person to connect, wins.

    Andre got caught...... But the announcers telling FEDOR and the other heavies to watchout.. haha. Now thats a bit premature eh? Wouldn't mind seeing Rogers vs. Lesnar though.. whoa!

    Nice Submission by Shields.... Lawler was just out muscling him.. thought he would be in for it.

    What can I say about Diaz? Love that pepper spray boxing style... lol.... He really looked like he was pissing off Smith. haha Defnitely can back up his cockiness.. Let him talk... I think its good for the ratings!:ghoti:

    I was floored by how energetic and how diverse Joe Rigg's game looked. He wasn't just a lumbering slugger like he usually is. Then again I had no idea he was at Arizona Combat Sports either... that woulda helped me a lot in the pick'em league I'm in.
    Baroni did look better and his cardio was much improved, but dang Rigg's was like night and day.

    I'm ashamed to admit I'm an AA fan... dude has fallen off like Chuck Liddell but he's 10 yrs younger

    Andrei Arlovski vs Brett Rogers - StrikeForce first round KO

    [video=youtube;yoePu0dpUxM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoePu0dpUxM[/video]

    Arlovski didn't look in shape at all for this fight. He's clearly lost his hunger to be a champion.

    Re: Andrei Arlovski vs Brett Rogers - StrikeForce first round KO

    Rumors are he had a hard time with his loss to Fedor and sort of went into a depression. His glass jaw has been exposed and his boxing defense, too.

    Re: Andrei Arlovski vs Brett Rogers - StrikeForce first round KO

    I think it happened even before his loss to Fedor. Arlovski used to be in unbelievable shape and got right after his opponents. He'd completely overwhelm other heavy weights with his quickness and power.

    Looked how ripped he was just a year ago in the Ben Rothwell fight. I just don't think he's as committed to the sport anymore.
