Not too shabby for me last night, i thought the JDS/Carwin fight shouldve been stopped in the first. Other than that Carwin looked terrible and JDS looked scared to throw combos. Disappointing fight for me.

5 perfects is nice though.

On a side note, if the judges were actually watching the fights then I'd have gone 10 for 12 with 7 perfects.

For the second week in a row I've been gone to a place without TV or internet.  Last week I went 8-3 tied for 14th.  Just got home to this:


I'll be gone again next week so we'll see if it continues!

Thanks @Thiago.  @Soccer, last weeks TUF finale got me my moderate upset, and pick 4 + 5 perfects.  I'm hoping Strikeforce will be as kind as the last two UFC's!

@mystical, 9/12 was my previous best for a UFC card, I just got lucky on a couple that were toss-ups here.  And I'd take 75% every time!  I went 6/12 on 129.

5 more days to strikeforce event. i'm sure everyone really wants to see overeem vs werdum and so do i but i think the chad " the gravedigger" riggs vs overeem's brother is more interesting. griggs gets no respect and he is something like 11-1. i got griggs winning this in exciting fashion. tko in second round

9 out ten times Strikeforce put on a good card. This time it's no different. Griggs vs Overeem (bro version) is an interesting match but I'm most looking forward to the tournement matches.

the way the heavyweight tournament is going we will have to wait 9 or 10 months more for the finale. it would be nice to see a female mma fight(this strikeforce event) but i don't think they found a replacement for carano?
