Do you have to download their software to use that site? And any problems experienced if so? I have been “Lime Wired” before and crashed so just hesitant about certain sites if I don’t know much about ’em. Thanks.

Tonight’s StrikeForce card may very well turn out to be surprising. Call me crazy, but I actually like watching EliteXC more than StrikeForce – not really a fan of StikeForces HDnet production (Thomson vs Melendez). For those that have never watched a StrikeForce event, its somewhat similiar to the first Affliction as for the “gloomy look” and nearly put me to sleep. Although, the production for Ludwig/Morgan was a bit better. Or I’m just crazy and its mainly because I watched Thomson/Melendez at someone elses house rather than my own…
However, this main card has MUCH more exciting matchups than the last few StrikeForce cards. StrikeForce always has solid up and coming fighters mixed in with veterans.
I got:
Babalue by whatever he wants
Ludwig in somewhat of an upset
Luke Stewart by submission
Terry Martin by TKO from body punches (if he’s smart and has watched tape on Smith he will viciously attack Smith’s body)
Kim Couture, hopefully she gets beaten up pretty badly again

good call on Smith/Martin VM….some of the Strikeforce shows have been VERY gloomy but one of the Playboy shows was actually pretty good…
