Good card aside from Santos/Yamanaka. I was hoping after Zuffa took over we'd be spared from these female sideshow fights.

It's not unreasonable to pick OSP given Mousasi has struggled with wrestlers.

Yeah I like Mousasi alot but OSP is potentially a bad matchup for him. I don't think Noons is exactly a lock over Evangelista either.

Honestly even as someone who enjoyed some of Strikeforce's cards I kinda wish they'd just die out, it's kind of painful watching them putter along doing a card every couple of months while maintaining a roster of like four or five serious fighters in each weight division.

I really like OSP but it seems like they are throwing him to the wolves here, it seems a bit of a steep jump.

That being said, he thrives in the Dream-catchers' weakest area. The main event should be great, if Gil dominates him like he has everyone else, they have to get him to the UFC asap.

OSP has looked great lately, ill be picking him for sure over Mousasi. Mousasi looked dreadful against King Mo and not much better against Jardine. Mousasi should obviously be the popular choice but I think its an even fight so there's no reason to not pick the underdog.

Mousasi beat the piss out of both Mo and Jardine. Not his fault judging over here is completely retarded. Take downs and getting beat up while you're on top of a guy shouldn't win you fights (or earn you draws).

The judging was garbage against Jardine, but that was a guy that Mousasi should stop within 15 minutes.

Beat the piss out of King Mo? Give me a break..

I was outraged the night of the fight, I thought Gegard did enough of his back to steal the win. I rewatched it (I think it was you guys that suggested I do so) and definately scored it for Mo, I hate Mo fyi, there was no piss being beat out of anyone.

I'v giving Noons and Gegard one more chance.. Masvidal has looked good, but as long as he didn't take him too lightly, Gil is just on another level.

Yeah, I completely agree, Mousasi had one round where he had some offense from his back, the rest of the time he got dominated. He should train in the states with some real wrestlers, its his fault for being weak in that area.
