HOLY CRAP!!!

A Strikeforce poster with two combatants FACING EACHOTHER!!!! By far the closest I’ve seen to them not looking like an amateur league. Minus the shameless Hershel plug at the bottom!

Where this poster fails is having the mirror image of Babalu, the writing on his chest it backwards and his tribal tattoo is on the other arm.

I can't stand Strikforce posters.

They always love to show what dumb freak show is expected to win standing all by himself. It’s never 2 guys fighting just “This guy is fighting tonight”. I consider them a better EliteXC.

NOBODY wants to fight Fedor, Except: Brock Lesnar, Shane Carwin, Frank Mir, JDS, Roy Nelson, Cain Velasquez, Matt "Kimbo Killer" Mitrione(by popular demand) and the rest of the UFC Heavyweight division.

Featuring Herschel Walker!!!!! He will be signing autographs, talking about football, doing push-ups, answering questions and possibly fighting if any fans are interested in taking a few punches!

Atleast Randy.

Went to a thin weight class and also came back after a long time. Also Brandon Vera was supposed to get the shot first.

Coming out of retirement is dif.
Being Couture makes it dif.
And it was a dig weight class.

Dude, not even Brock would talk shit about Randy. Get some manners,

Shouldn’t it be “henderson vs sobral” or “dan vs babalu”?

Why they would use one last name and one first name is beyond me

Since when did Renato’s name become babalu? That’s about as dumb as the posters is?

by BDUBBS on Sep 27, 2010 8:43 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

hey newfie (lol)

renato’s his first name, Babalu’s his nickname. They advertise CroCop on posters, but thats not his name.

i bet 60% of the UFC 119 audience had no idea who Mirko Filipovic is.

But Cro Cop they were excited to see. Quinton Jackson goes by Rampage in posters, TUF, and movies too.

I failed to learn my lesson, once again ignoring the advice of David W-S and making myself look foolish. Clearly he knows a lot more than me, he wins 2-1.

Machida vs. Shogun comes to mind. Pretty sure Mrs. Rua didn’t put “Shogun” or “Ninja” on her kids’ birth certificates. It’s about name recognition. The average casual fan fucktard won’t buy a PPV with a Rua, Jackson or Sobral on it. He won’t know who they are.

It goes by what name is most popular to the majority of viewers. Didn’t see UFC calling Kimbo Slice “Kevin Ferguson” on anything. Goes both ways.

Walker vs

Batista is way bigger than Herschel isn't he?

I thought Herschel was LHW?

Frank Mir just took home Cro cop’s chin like he did to Big Nog. I need to stop bitching and judging with my anger and stop raging. Even joe Rogan said Mir is one of the best BJJ HW’s in the workd and Joe knows way more then I do about MMA. All hail guyverbob and Frank Mir, And hopefully Cro cop with win one more time then retire.

Walker was a HW?

I don’t remember the weight class or his opponent from the first fight, I won’t look it up either but was it NAgy or something?

He shouldn’t be fighting for Strikeforce anyway. Timmy can’t get SF to answer his phone calls but this jackass is on their poster?

They cant afford Kimbo

I heard he was asking $400K for a fight with Schoonover but the promoter wouldnt cough it up. Probably why he went to boxing

So...

Hendo can’t KO or outwrestle a Shields with no striking but he can KO a Babalu who has shown much better striking then Jake Shields and good grappling. Not saying its impossible, Babalu has been KO’d before. But lets not write Sobral off so soon, especially after that last performance by Henderson.

probably a lackluster one at that. Highly doubt that it will live up to the little hype that it will get. Should’ve done Hendo vs Mousasi

I just can't get excited about these 2 fighting,

Babalu’s peak is past and Hendo can only come out for a 5 minute sprint!… Someone better get KTFO or submitted 1st rnd to make this fight any good…. I lost interest in watching Hendo fight I think he might just be out for a paycheck after that last performance or until he proves it otherwise.

How is Diaz, their champion, not even in the poster…Strikeforce is just shooting themselves in the foot, it’s pretty pathetic. You have a legit top 10 WW and top 15 p4p fighter and you put Hercshel fucking Walker on the poster?

Weeds, Dexter and Californication are all among my favorite shows (although weeds went downhill)

Showtime and AMC have really good shows nowadays, maybe one day they can catch up to HBO in terms of epicness and budgets.

Weeds is one of my favs

I just started this summer and watched all previous 6 or 7 seasons in like, 2 and a half days. lol. Californication took a massive dive though. Season 2 was epic, but season 3 just kinda wandered aimlessly till it abruptly ended. any news on the 4th season, if there is one?
