Strikeforce - Rogers v. Overeem - May 15

[Gibbz]

I'm excited to see Arlovski fight again.


I've actually seen very little of Overeem. I wish he was fighting Fedor instead of Rogers.

[Iadf]

strikeforce runs there business weird it's almost as if they don't think ahead.But hey im not complaining about more fights with fedor.

[goh]

The offical excuse was they want to bulid up Fedor in the US and then put on a PPV but if Rogers wins I don't think that's going to go over well.

How do you advertise a title fight between a guy who got knocked out his last fight, and a guy on steroids who kidnapped the belt overseas with him.

lol.

I wish Fedor fought for the belt in his 1st fight, and so would have a chance to defend it twice.

I feel like Strikeforce really botched their HW division. They knocked off their only promising HW prospect in a tuneup fight and now fedor is wasting away.

If Fedor had come over and tapped overeem for the title, defended it against werdum and setup a mega-match against a rogers I think the prospect of a big PPV would be more realistic.. especially if they gave rogers a few high profile gimme fights to build him up (feed him lashley or a ufc castoff) while fedor did his thing.

Now, as said earlier, if rogers beats ubereem then strikeforce is totally screwed in trying to market the last fight of fedor's contract.

Prediction time...

Cavalcante vs. Britt
No idea. Not familar with either.

Roger Gracie vs. Randleman
This will either end in spectacular fashion in round 1 or be a vvvveeeerrrryyyyy long 15 minutes. I'll say Gracie.

Jacare vs. Joey Villasenor
Jacare of course.

Arlovski vs. Antonio Silva
I'll say the big guy by 1st round KO. This one oughtta look like the UFC 2010 demo.

Overeem vs. Rogers
I expect Rogers will get Overeeam'd.

Rogers by flying scissor heel hook.

I hope arlovski wins.. it would be nice to see him relevant again in MMA after his issues.
