    I get a dose of Ed Herman about once a month, TUF 3 was very good!

    Nate Marquardt is coming off beating the **** outta Tyrone Woodley, I hope that he is thrown atop The UFC WW roster after this win. A lot riding on Couture v Noons too....

    Been training with Anthony Smith for the last couple years, real good guy, hoping to see him do well against Roger Gracie.

    Looking forward to this final card. I really am going to miss the production quality of Strikeforce. No more Jimmy Lennon, Jr. announcing MMA fights. We're stuck with Bruce Buffer forever now. smh

    So psyched for tonight's card! It's sad to think the end of Strikeforce is here. Like Pride, Affliction and WEC - it will go the way of the dodo. It's been a great ride watching their rise and eventual fall. In one way Strikeforce helped close the door on the Pride era by giving us the final chapter in Fedor's career - but it also opened the door to the future by giving us Daniel Cormier as the tournament winner.

    Indeed, it suck SF fold, I always enjoyed there event.

    Like you said Sugar at least it gave us the opportunity to watch fighter from "the asian market" fight on U.S. soil.

    But I guess monopoly is the way to go !

    I thought it was a fun event but it was missing the feel of the old Strikeforce. Mauro's absence was sorely noted. Ron Kruck instead of Stephen Quadros filled in making the commentary unbearable at times. I do like the irony of the Strikeforce Challenger come title challenger Terric Saffedine being able to wrest the belt from the UFC exile Nate Marquardt.
