Strikeforce: Los Angeles was pretty good. Noons-Heun was a brawl from start to finish, Kennedy got a good submission win, Cyborg cleaned Zaromskis's clock, and Babalu won a close fight with Lawler. I'm very bitter about Zaromskis losing. I marked for him the first time I saw him running around like Akuma in Japan. And I mark for that EA MMA game having Bellator cage, Strikeforce Cage and DREAM ring.

Was at the show, still odd to see Cage Fighting in the same place they do the Oscars.
Was really weird to see Cyborg win a fight, though it was fun watching lady cyborg pick him up. Also kind of annoyed with Babalu. He fights for a shot at the title, wins a shot at the title, then turns it down to challenge Hendo.

I think Babalu should just move down to 185 and get a title shot there. I'm sure he could.

If this is true, then StrikeForce really will sign anyone.

If this is true, then StrikeForce really will sign anyone. Dude is a draw and has been training in MMA longer than Lesnar did before his MMA debut. There's no shame in signing someone that has recently main eventing Pay Per Views since 2005.

He is a draw but that doesn't change the fact that signing him up to fight would just be plain stupid as Batista is now in his early forties and injury prone.

I will admit that I would like to see Batista fight Mariusz Pudzianowski.

If this is true, then StrikeForce really will sign anyone. I believe you are right. I also agree with the poster below you who said he's been trng for a while and has some star power as he main evented a show that draws huge numbers since 05. However the main point that sticks is Strikeforce's belief that super heavywieghts with gimicky backgrounds will be a better foundation for thier promotion than solid divisions. (I consider Strikeforce and EliteXC the same thing so i am including Kimbo Slice). Dana White is the greatest promoter since Vince McMahon. Strikefarce will eventually begin to pay far far out more than they can pull in and the combined might of Showtime and CBS won't save them. I hope that Fedor is still undefeated when this happens and that Brock still has the UFC belt. I think the world of Fedor and appreciate how humble he is. The perfect foil for Brock. They could fill Cowboy's stadium with that one.

It might happen since He called out Hong Man Choi last year and Choi said yes. Though it would be awesome if Dream could get Shaq and Pudzianowski to compete at the next super hulk super hulk tournament

Seeing him crush Canseco last year was awesome. I hope he becomes the celebrity killer. Hell, give him Danny Bonaduche while we're at it. If this is true, then StrikeForce really will sign anyone.

Uhhhhhh..... Lashley works for Strikeforce right? And they always seem to have trouble getting a fight, so why not Lashley vs. Batista?

Speaking of UFC, if Josh Koscheck can beat GSP, Jon Fitch will move up to middleweight rather than fight his teammate.

Fedor isn't ever coming to the UFC. This is sadly true. Maybe after he retires they can set up a PRIDE section of their HOF and put Fedor in there? And, MMA is ever so closer to getting legalized in NY. The senate passed a MMA Bill which means it has to be signed by the governor to be legalized. Melvin Manoef has been added to DREAM.15 Rampage says that his knee was injured during the Rashad fight. And finally, Dana says that in order to make up for UFC 112, he will have a free fight, which Dana describes as huge, on free tv. Any guesses?
