Strikeforce's Heavyweight Grand Prix starts TODAY! ( 2/12/11 )

Wait, this tournament is going to take all year? WTF is this shit?

Meh, most pro fighters only fight every 3-4 months. So for a fighter to get through the whole tournament would be 3 fights, so it's just about average with other fights.

 

[RPD]

Thats assuming *IF* all the fights even take place. I'd be amazed if they all do.

If they pull this off, White will have to STFU with the criticism about how fighters in the UFC are fighting 3 times a year (not the case with champs quite often). But the top guys in Strike Force don't.

The other thing strike force does, that I love, is put women on the cards. Not only are they not some kind of a sideshow attraction (as some claim) but they are usually the best fights on the card. The girls bring it hard. :wub:

I just watched the strikeforce where fedor lost... that chick cyborg... holy fucking shit, she pounds people harder than most men would.

Ariel Helwani had Fedor for an interview on his "The MMA Hour" show. Here's a link to part 1:

Not the most exciting interview, but ones with Fedor generally aren't. He's such a quiet dude and obviously speaks Russian so the translating doesn't make it flow as easily, but still always a good watch for Fedor fans. He's like so generic with answers though and you never hear him really open up. Usually just like "So how do you feel about xxx?" "I like it very much" "How is this fighter?" "He's good fighter".

edit: And LOL @ Ariel giving Fedor a half pint of Stoli vodka. I don't think he ended up taking it though haha.

Sort of interesting to hear him talk about retiring. It sounds like after his contract is up (it goes for about the next year) that anything could happen. I guess that's not a big surprise though.

 

[Woosta]

He's been long enough in the sport, he deserves to retire.

 

[manimal]

Arlofsky has a weak jaw and wilts under pressure now.


Wish the whole event was in one night....

 

[JEDIYoda]

He's been long enough in the sport, he deserves to retire.

Unless he get involuntarily retired....rofl....

Watched the weigh-ins on HDNet -

Bigfoot, Barnett & The Reem are big dudes! Fedor & Arlovski look small by comparison.

Arlovski looked like he's in great shape - too bad he has a glass jaw after 3 KO's.


Prelims are on HDNet starting at 6pm I think.

 

[duragezic]

All I hear about is how Andrei Arlovski has a glass jaw. Of his recent fights, he was KO'd by Fedor and TKO'd by Brett Rogers. Fedor has a ton of power and Andrei was flying into his punch. Nothing about that says glass jaw. And Rogers certainly has power too (as his record is almost all KO/TKO) so being TKO'd by him isn't a surprise.

Fedor is nothing. He will not win this tourney. He cant compete with today's top heavyweights.

He's nothing compared to the new breed of UFC heavyweights

Any way to watch this live online, I don't have Showtime.

 

[Woosta]

No, there is absolutely no way to watch this online. Humans have yet to discover a method to stream channels on the internet.

No wonder so many people on these forums think you are a total idiot. If anyone has good links to this, please post them. I have little experience with finding good ones that work.

 

[Woosta]

Stream links usually come around the time the actual event starts. I usually provide these ( minus the 126 since I didn't watch it @ home ).

If you want "good" links then why don't you pay for them? I can't see how anyone can b!tch about free illegal stream quality.. be fvcking glad you're lucky enough to even get a stream.

 

[caspur]

Please post links when the fight is live. Thank you.

 

[Howard]

Wait, who's fighting first?

I am not bitching about anything you dumb fuck. I was just asking how I could watch it.

 

[Woosta]

Wait, who's fighting first?

Fedor vs Bigfoot
Arlovski vs Kharitonov

 

[Howard]

[shopbruin]

[QueBert]

NOO!

7PM on Shotime, dunno if it's live but that's the normal time a SF or UFC or most boxing PPV's start.

 

[duragezic]

Am I going to hear Frank Shamrock say "he's needs to get on his bicycle"? LOL I hate when he says that.
