    Didnt want anyone to forget because there hasnt been much hype regarding this event and its on a Wednesday with a late start time. Great fights Babalu vs Robbie Lawler at 195 curious to see how both handle the new weight and im hearing the winner gets a title shot Lawler vs Jacare or maybe Shields and Babalu vs King Mo. Great grappler vs striker matchup. Heun vs Noons should be fun we know Noons likes to box and if you seen Heun vs Gurgel then you know this will be a war. Zaromskis and Cyborg might just kill each other in the cage cant wait for that.

    Babalu looks in awesome shape. Odd time for a card though midweek. And what is it with Brazilian fighters that have tattoo's of Mike Tyson on themselves. First Filho who actually thinks he's Tyson?!?! And now iv noticed Cyborg has one of Mike on he's torso.

    Havent seen the Cyborg tattoo yet or the weigh in pictures so im not even sure how Babalu looks. Ive been watching his recent training though the guy works like a dog which reminded me off his badass routine he showed on All Access for the Liddell rematch.

    Hmmm cool looking tattoo I guess but im not for putting a guys face on my body. Robbie looks decent 10 pounds heavier then the norm and Babalu looks good to a bit dehydrated maybe but nothing 24 hours cant cure.

    SF really need to improve their marketing. Maybe because they are American based I don't see it.

    I'm interested to see all the main event fights:
    Robbie Lawler vs Renato Sobral
    Marius Zaromskis vs Evangelista Santos
    Tim Kennedy vs Trevor Prangley
    Conor Heun vs KJ Noons

    Lawler looks a little soft. He's just let himself go a little to put on 10 pounds.

    Took Lawler three times to weight in as well I believe which doesn't sound good considering he is coming up from 185.

    He looks soft in comparison to when he weighs in at 85 but its splitting hairs. Physically he looks ok. But we'll see what he's conditioning is like at the higher weight.

    This is a nice card. I almost forgot about it myself until I saw the weigh in results this morning. Wed night is an odd night to put on a fight card.

    My West Coast cable provider has no Eastern time zone feed so I get to wait until 11 p.m. before I can watch it on Showtime. This irritates me something fierce. Especially when Fedor fights. I have to entertain myself for a few hours knowing the fight has concluded. Last time I checked the result with Rogers before it aired in my timezone.

    Reminds me of Fedor's PRIDE days when I would wake up and jump online to see how he did. I do not really expect anyone to care. I am just killing time before Strikeforce airs.

    Yeah it sucks man do your best to avoid spoilers though. I have a history of ****ing up by accidentaly reading them. I remember when Cro Cop fought Gonzaga it was on tape delay on Spike but at like 5-6 at night I hoped online and meant to click on the site just above sherdog in my history but accidentally clicked sherdog without really paying attention to it and bam right there it said Gonzaga had KOed Cop. First im like really ? then im like nooooooo I dont wanna know this.
