Strikeforce and the TUF Finale are going head-to-head -- which one do people think will end up being more entertaining and exciting?
I have to cast my vote for TUF -- I think there's a wider array of skillsets going on display, with more talented grapplers and good stylistic matchups. Phan vs. Garcia should be a pure slugfest ending in KO. Brookins / Johnson is a nice wrestler vs. grappler situation with the potential for some striking thrown in. Maia / Grove could end up all over the place. Hendricks / Story is also hard to predict.
Strikeforce in my opinion has the higher level main event, and the most important fight from a rankings perspective in Sobral vs. Henderson. But I see a lot of the fights ending in knockout without a good deal of grappling taking place. Time will tell I suppose.
What are you guys expecting?

I will flip back and forth between both events. Strikeforce fights might be good but the production values always feel a little cheaper.
SOmehow when you watch a UFC there's always this drama and buildup to the main event. Strikeforce cards just come on and zip through and there is never any buildup or feel like it's a single connected event.
I don't know how to explain it but UFC events always feel like a more real "event" even if it is a small-scale TUF show.
