BJ just signed the contract to rematch Edgar (Aug 10th?).

Also, anyone else hoping to see Overeem lose so we can actually see title fights for HWs in Strikeforce? lol

Bellator was really good this week. Joe Warren is one bad dude. And that Heyes/Pitbull fight was a great chess match. Can't wait to see the Warren/Pitbull fight.

Other two fights: a 6 sec KO in the third fight and a first round KO.

[Blarg]

I think Warren will get caught in some sort of submission against pitbull. If it goes to a decision he may win because those judges love the idea of top control even if half that time is spent trying to pry your way out of armbars and triangles.

does anyone (with directv) know if you have Showtimes channels, weather of not the Strike force fight will be free or do i still have to pay for it through PPV?

[Blarg]

If you have showtime I think you get strikeforce with it.

[Jonny]

sweetness :D

and i say Overeem all the damn way

[Tekniklie]

Long as you normally have Showtime, youre good.

Rogers looked awesome at the weigh-ins. Didn't have as big of moobs as usual, and looks much more serious without the mohawk. I fear Overeem will just be too much for him, but I can hope for Rogers to connect and watch Overeem collapse like he has a habit of doing when tagged.

I thought don king filed an injunction to stop that fight? Will be fun to watch for sure

entire card canceled thanks to don king. dick move

[Blarg]

One of the problems with doing PPV from these upstart promotions it that if they lose their main event the PPV companies often tell them to go fuck themselves and are forced to cancel it.

[Blarg]

Damn, I had Britt in my parlay.

Fun fact: Roger Gracie's last name is Gomes

[Blarg]

Jacare would be such a beast if not for the questionable chin. He already has the wrestling and bjj and is picking up effective striking very quickly.

[archibaldcrane]

Here we go. I wonder if Rogers is going to try to take Overeem down - I think GnP would be his best strategy, I can't even think of the last time Overeem was on his back.

[Blarg]

If he goes for the takedown he needs to watch out for the guillotine which overeem is very good with. GNP on top is probably Rogers safest and easiest way to win but he just needs to get it there safely

[archibaldcrane]

Wow Overeem's only 29?

He was for sure when he fought Shogun

[archibaldcrane]

Brutal punches on the ground. Rogers inexperience shows against a guy as big as he is.

No, those are gifs of Overeem, the guy fighting tonight is called Ubereem. He is completely different
