bump. Sengoku wasn't bad. Strikeforce continues putting good cards together, but no great match-ups really.

..... Strikeforce continues putting good cards together, but no great match-ups really.

That is a dead on statement and it used to not be like that. I think a lot of orgs are playing scared not putting on good matchups so they don't burn future fights and seem more attractive to some free agents. You just can't keep doing that.
