its doesnt....
yet anyways…. but interesting how he mentioned Huerta a few times, looks like he could be coming to strikeforce when he returns from thailand….which is sweet as huerta defo one of my fav light weights
Every night i would pray to God for a new bike, then i realized God does not work that way, so i stole one and asked him to forgive me
Hype
That’s all it is. I honestly believe if he was as good as he says he is the UFC would want him.
What fighters should Strikeforce sign to there roster?
There r a lot of good fighters out there that Strikeforce should sign and Thompson did mention Roger Huerta. Josh Neer is also another decent lightweight to grab.
I’d like to see Lashley win one more fight and then fight Tim sylvia. Sylvia could also be a good punching bag for Brett Rogers and Big Foot.
I’m guessing they have already signed Andrea Arlovski but if they could get Semmy Schilt to leave K1 forever that would make an interesting heavyweight division in Strikeforce.
In welterwight I would roll the dice with Karo Parisyan
A good middleweight would be Jake Rosholt
I think Strikeforces light heavyweight division is there weakest. They need guys to fight Mousasi. Ricardo Arona could be a good opponent. Maybe if Dana White and Rampage don’t make up, Rampage could find his way to Stikeforce.
What other fighters Should Stikeforce get in there roster?
I wouldn't want Karo
He would just end up pussying out at the last second. Other than that good list. Though he mentioned it, I don’t know how true the Huerta story is. But who knows.
Well kang is a free agent now
ok mentally he not that good, but maybe fighting for SF with smaller crowds etc might be good for him.
The light weight division will get better in 2010 with the partnership with dream, hopefully will see Aoki fight in SF soon

also in the LHW
they have King mo who i saw in amsterdam few month back and looked damn good, think he is fighting whitehead next, which is a big step up for him, king mo by tko in the 1st tho

LW is one of SF's best divisions
Now that they have an alliance with Dream, they have a sick division. Melendez, Thomson, Aoki, Alvarez, Hansen, Kawajiri and JZ are all excellent LWs and if they sign Huerta and Gomi plus if Evangelista can continue to do well on Challengers then they will have just as good a division as the UFC’s (I purposely ignored KJ the Diaz ducker), although without BJ it can’t be considered better. Without the greatest LW of all time (sorry Gomi fans, smashing Diego sealed the deal on this one) SF does not have as good a division. They can still put on some sick fights though, I’m particularly hoping to see Gilbert-Aoki.

"I wasn’t able to spar at all...I had bulging disks...I want to see somebody fight with a cracked skull, I came in and stepped in with a cracked skull...why the fuck did you give that fight of the night?...for me not getting Fight of the Night I’m taken aback by it...I gave my heart and soul and to be robbed like that, yeah it is what it is."
