Strikeforce - Marquardt v. Saffedine - January 12

[redsrule]

I hope he can cut to 205. He would have a good chance to dethrone Jones imo if the weight cut goes well.

Lol... Interesting take.

Stephie Daniels: You recently tweeted your irritation about the mass exodus of fighters from this card. What's your take on the whole situation? Do you think the injuries are real? Tim Kennedy: Well, I don't know. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't. It's pathetic and convenient for every single marquee fighter in all of Strikeforce, that we all know to be going over to the UFC, are pulling out of their fights, two weeks before the final card. It's like, are you guys fighters, or are you just a bunch of little vaginas? Stephie Daniels: Do you find it strange that guys that are out of their Strikeforce fights with injuries are calling out UFC fighters? Tim Kennedy: The whole thing seems like a big bunch of horse ****. Yeah, I'm gonna call all these dudes out, because I'm a super tough fighter, this is MY hood, fight me, blah blah blah, oh wait, I hurt my wrist, and I'm gonna be going to the UFC, so I'm not gonna fight. I'm just gonna wait and fight somebody in the UFC. What? What just happened? Blech. Whatever.

Nice!! I get to see Cormier hopefully do work and take care of business.

Also happy to see if Barnett has kept in shape to parlay one more shot in the UFC.

I have no idea who either Cormier or Barnett are fighting.. never heard of those guys.

Wow.

Daniel Cormier is essentially a 20-1 favorite over Dion Staring. DC is one of the largest favorites I've ever seen on an MMA line. I fully expect him to dispatch Staring quickly (via any method he wants), and dive head-first into the UFC with TONS of deserved hype following him.

I also can see Nate "The Great" Marquardt dismantling Tarec Saffiedine on his way back into the UFC.

Curious to see how Mousasi performs tomorrow. I'm sure he'll look like he just woke up from a nap.

Just hope for a good card. Playoff football and MMA, great day.

I've never seen so many submission endings on one card.

Fun card so far. Roger Gracie trained with Machida and Black House for his fight. His striking looked good in r2 when he wasn't being so tentative.
Jacare looked great too, I would love to see a Weidman/Jacare fight.
