Strikeforce in its very last breath goes out with a bang. Strikeforce presents "A Farewell To Arms"

Its sad to see Strikeforce close the doors but It will be great to yet again see that fighters in the UFC arent the best fighters. First the WEC and now it will be Strikeforce.

@JM  Don't mind him.  He's usually alright, but right now, he's Inner Troll controls his mouth, and there's not a damn thing he can do about it.

He'll say whatever he must to come off as a smart-ass, without the smart part.

I'm actually relieved that Strikeforce is finally done.  The vultures were flying lazy circles over its rotting, decomposing carcass for over 2 years, as the UFC siphoned off and raided one elite fighter after another, to poke their fingers in Showtime's eyes.

Now, we will get to see Gilbert Melendez, Josh Thomson, Luke Rockhold and many others come over.  I'm especially interested in how the UFC presents the women fighters.  Let's all hope they put all their marketing muscle behind them.  And not just a luke-warm half-effort.

That first time, I was kidding.  And you know it.  The Days of Wine and Roses ended for me a long time ago.

Does she sound like I need to defend her?  Nope.  I just don't like people ganging up on an underdog.

I'm just teasing ya Billiam. I actually thumbed up that post, because I agree that there are some good match ups in the UFC for some of the Strikeforce guys.

Why is it that where ever I go, whatever I say, I bring out the weird and strange in everyone?

Why does everyone go ****** on me and make me look like a damned fool to the Mods?  You guys should know that I'm too lazy to look up **** on every single thing.  I'm not a detail guy.

Getting back to Strikeforce before I was so rudely interrupted, why did Nate look so bad tonight?  Why didn't he check a single leg kick.

Was his weight cut that brutal?  Is he still having testosterone problems?  What the hell was wrong with him tonight?
