F---ing nice card. These are some intriguing matchups.
It would be cool to see Randleman have a good showing.

Rarely do I agree with everything somebody says so exactly.
Mike Fagan: I shouldn't like Phil Baroni. He's loud, he's obnoxious. He has that annoying thick NY/NJ accent. He's not that great of a fighter and he always has poor cardio. I made money against him in the Hose fight. He's probably homophobic. But for some reason I do. Phil Baroni by KO, round 1.

Wow, 1-4. That sucks.
Smith was a defeated man coming out in the 3rd. He gave that fight up.
I'm not going to go so far as to say Arlovski might be "washed up" at such a young age, but... what the hell? His recent fights have me baffled.

Well....I dunno...Diaz has as good as a chance as anyone else

Count me as unsure. Diaz is so young dude...GSP is far better but he stands as good a chance as anyone else.

Nick Diaz... is not the same person he once was. He's quieter now, more thoughtful and less venemous in his interviews. He's also grown quite a bit in his fighting. Either he's finally become an adult or the pot has finally mellowed him permanently. Probably a combination of the two. There's no reason he shouldn't come back to the UFC and do very well.
please mma gods let Jake win...I cant handle the lawler robot dance again

"According to one Strikeforce executive, that Rogers vs. Overeem bout could happen as soon as August. "
Strikeforce giving us the fights we want. August seems too early tho.

Brent Brookhouse of BE
"- Letting Andrei Arlovski go is one of those Dana White moves that just happens to look brilliant in hindsight. I'm not saying he let him go because he knew he'd eventually get KO'ed by Brett Rogers. But now looking back at it you no longer see the UFC letting a top 5 heavyweight go, just a guy who was probably a little overrated.
- The more important thing with Arlovski is that yeah, his chin isn't great...but where is the defense? I mean, for all the improvement in footwork and punching technique Andrei leaves his chin open way too often. His chin wouldn't ever hold up in the long run in a boxing career. The KO also means that he'll have a medical suspension which will keep him out of his boxing debut that was scheduled for 21 days from the Rogers fight marking at least the third delay to his debut that I can remember."

AA is a chump. He used to be fun to watch. Now he just pussies around the ring and waits for his opponent to tire out. Big Boy Rogers actually wanted to fight and had heart. Something AA lost a long time ago.
Baroni still a body with no lungs.
I didn't even know this event was last night. I turned it on @ the Riggs/Baroni fight. Very fun card from what I saw. Pretty damn stacked compared to UFC.
Strikeforce has excellent production quality.

I am only going to have showtime for another month once I catch up on all the shows I have missed since I had it a year ago. Right now I have every channel known to man but then I will just have HD plus a sports tier...
there is like 6 seasons I need to catch up "on demand" then I won't have any of it again until next summer.

Arlovski's career really is in shambles, i don't know where he goes from here. Just about anytime in MMA he has been hit hard and clean, he has been finished. He has no chin at all and he better forget ever being a pro-boxer. He'd get murdered..

He's been hurt bad by glancing blows as well as hard dead on shots. There is more than enough proof out there to conclude this guy basically has no chin.. Great offensive fighter with one huge flaw..

Jonathan Goulet has the same problem. At one time he was ranked the #2 welterweight in Canada, only behind GSP. He's got a good ground game and decent boxing, but the guy has a glass jaw and keeps getting KO'd. If it weren't for that he could make a big impact in the UFC.

you can tell his crazy punching style was getting on Scott's nerves and frustrating him. Hell of a game plan and risky knowing smith has "hands of steel".
A 60-day medical suspension will prevent Andrei Arlovski from making his professional boxing debut for Golden Boy Promotions on June 27 in Los Angeles.
Arlovski, 30, was halfway through a four-week training camp with boxing luminary Freddie Roach and former heavyweight boxing champion Michael Moorer in Los Angeles when he got the call to face Rogers.
The bout completed the last fight on Arlovski’s three-fight contract with Affliction Entertainment, which sponsored the bout that aired on Showtime….
