    On March 5th Strikeforce returns to Primetime, live from the Nationwide Arena, Columbus, Ohio with the highly anticipated Light Heavyweight title fight between Dan ‘Hendo’ Henderson and current champion Rafael ‘Feijao’ Cavalcante.

    Dan Henderson can only be described as a legend of the sport. The only competitor to ever simultaneously hold world titles in two different weight classes and with a victim list that reads as a who’s who of the sport, his pedigree cannot be overstated. ‘Hendo’ joined Strikeforce in December 2009 following the expiry of his UFC contract. He was immediately thrust into title competition facing then Middleweight champion Jake Shields. ‘Hendo’ started in explosive fashion flooring the champ in the first round. Following a tactical remainder to the fight which Shields controlled on the ground, ‘Hendo’ lost to a unanimous decision; however he also proved he could still hang at championship level. He recovered from this to beat Renato Sobral by first round KO in his next fight and move back into title contention.

    Rafael ‘Feijao’ Cavalcante is an explosive and aggressive knockout specialist who trains with Anderson Silva and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in Brazil. He holds a huge arsenal of strikes with all his KO wins coming with different types of strike. ‘Feijao’ got his big break with a title fight against then undefeated ‘King’ Mo Lawal,

    When these two heavy handed KO specialists meet, we guarantee there will be fireworks in Ohio!

    Great fight Feijao is a big, strong and super talented fighter who very well could beat Hendo down but you can never count out a winner like Dan Henderson and I sure as hell wont. Wanna see Kennedy and Manhoef too, Kennedy is a legit top 10 Middleweight and anytime Manhoef gets in the cage/ring my eyes are glued.

    If I didn't have mates to split the cost I wouldn't say this was worth a tenner but lets be honest can't miss Melvin :D Tough fight for Hendo too, could be a war.

    £9.99 seems a bit steep for this card but I'll still be buying it.

    The tournament bundle was great value at £24.95 for four events.

    Decent card but could do with a touch more depth.

    Tenner is a bit steep, it isn't really PPV quality but Hendo vs Caval and Tim vs Melvin really are great fights.

    Any time Melvin's fighting im watching. I hope Melvin comes in with a decent game plan. He needs to stop getting knocked out.
    And does Hendo get stopped for the first time? Very tough fight. Great match ups though.

    Lawler was lucky and he knows it. His leg nearly got kicked into the 10th row. But that ***** Hughes insisted that was their game plan To get beat up? Ok Matt :roll:

    :rofl The gameplan was to get crippled according to Hughes.

    Lucky to land? No. But lucky he saw that opportunity, he was well on his way out at that point, his leg was getting flung around in an almost comical fashion.

    I always wanted to see a rematch on that fight between Lawler and Manheof.

    I guess melvins chin is not what it used to be, I wonder what that means for kennedy's chances standing. He probably still will take the fight to the ground if he is smart.

    Feijao/Henderson is a great fight. Hard to call.

    Masvidal/Evangelista should be a war.

    Just tried to order the web stream of this from Primetime and their website doesn't appear to be working.

    It won't let me sign in as a returning customer - anyone else having problems?
