Not a bad card at all...sucks that Ninja Rua wasn't medically cleared and Crazy Horse is in jail, but still solid...

im not familiar with alot of these guys. anyone ordering?

[cornbread]

My predictions are the same as Leonards except with Cung Le over Fryklund.

[desflood]

Ninja has now been cleared and will fight Villasenor. And last I checked, was a big underdog.

[cornbread]

I really hope Villasenor gets the win in that match.

[Evan]

awesome fights. I am so happy for eliteXC and Strikeforce. They put on a GREAT show.

[desflood]

It was a good show. Cung Le put on half of it himself. For lack of a better word, the man is awesome.

I never had much respect for Shamrock to begin with, but now it's completely gone out the window. Yet again, illegal blows to the back of the head. And I don't know if anybody else noticed, but after Frank choked Baroni out, he commenced to kicking him (while Phil was still unconscious) to get him out of the way. What a piece of sh*t.

Speaking of crap, Goldberg is a terrible commentator. How did he get that job?

[LEONARD]

I still haven't seen all of the fights, but I've seen the main ones.

Shamrock is an idiot...more shots to the back of the head? I wish somebody would beat his ass. Baroni disappointed. Nick Diaz has called out Shamrock, which is odd given their big size difference...

Cung Le is looking like the real deal...
