Along those same lines.... Is Sakuraba in debt to the Yakuza or something? I know they're involved in the fight/wrestling scene over there and the fact that Sakuraba continues to fight despite losing to people like Mayhem Miller makes me wonder. He doesn't even seem to be enjoying it anymore. It's like a death march when he goes out there.

read some stuff last night about doctors saying they won't clear arlovski to fight again. seems fair enough.

also the more i think about it the more i am sad about the whole fedor thing. i fucking loved the guy 5 years ago. such a waste and a tainting of his legacy, there could have been some ridiculous superfights had the ufc thing come to fruition.

What, Arlovski will easily be cleared to fight once he is medically able to fight able to fight again, which will be 6 months at most.

Just saw the Arlovski KO. Was pretty brutal, he didn't need to take the last 2-3 punches.

He needs a nose job.

Also, Dana White has Josh Barnett winning the tournament, odd since Dana hates his guts, but would probably welcome him back if he thought he would make him money.

Probably, though Barnet will have to go through some tough competetion to win. Still, I have a feeling Overeem will murder folk and win.

Thinking about it though, I could see maybe him winning it if his opponent in the finals is hurt. I could see him beating rogers and then karatonov, but not silva, werdum or ovareem, but if those guys kill each other in their semifinals fights, I can see barnett beating anyone else the plug in there as an alternate

I can see Barnett beating anyone in the tournament, though I don't have alot of faith in that statement, since he hasn't really fought elite competetion in years. He's never been submitted, so if he can get on top Silva or Werdum he could just out grapple and controll them. I think Overeems size and striking could pose the biggest threat.

Quote:
After the loss, MMAjunkie.com's Dr. Johnny Benjamin wrote a Medical Beat column explaining that Arlovski's recent losses likely will contributed to the "battered-brain syndrome" called chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). He suggested a prudent doctor and athletic commission will have a very difficult time ignoring the cumulative brain trauma sustained throughout the fighter's career and the growing mountain of evidence related to CTE.

NEWS: Remaining Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix Fights Will NOT Happen on April 9 As Originally Announced

(Or "Scott Coker determined to destroy Strikeforce more efficiently than even Dana White could do").

How many fights does Josh Barnett have to steal away from MMA fans before promoters stop hiring him? Strikeforce will reportedly now be running in California on April 9, which means that since Josh Barnett failed to piss clean on three separate occasions, refuses to cooperate with the CSAC, and refuses to give one half of one percent of a damn for you, me, and all the other MMA fans in the world, the Barnett-Rogers fight and the Overeem-Werdum fights will be delayed for at least a few more weeks, if not much longer.

Sherdog reported late Monday night that the April 9 event is now looking to have co-main event fights of Gilbert Melendez vs. Tatsuya Kawajiri and Nick Diaz vs. either Paul Daley or Tyron Woodley, with the second set of Heavyweight Grand Prix quarterfinal bouts no longer taking place on the card.

Of course, Daley has a fight scheduled for February 26 and might be smart enough to not want to fight Nick Diaz a mere six weeks later. And that's assuming he defeats Yuya Shirai on that night. As for the possibility of Woodley accepting the Diaz fight, Woodley also might be smart enough to not take a fight with Nick Diaz on six week's notice as well. And he's probably smart enough to know that going from Tarec Saffiedine in his last fight to Nick Diaz in his next might be too large of a step up in competition.

So because Scott Coker decided to sign and back an apparently un-licensable Josh Barnett when he could have just as easily slotted a deserving Daniel Cormier into the back-end of the Grand Prix bracket, the following side-effects will damage his company:

1: It looks like we are all going to have to wait at least another month or two (Strikeforce isn't planning on running an event in May, although that might change now) for the quarterfinals of the Grand Prix to finish. The first two fights of the Grand Prix delivered Showtime their best ever ratings for MMA, and that momentum is going to be severely stunted as a result of Josh Barnett's existence in the tournament.

2: If Daley declines to fight Diaz on short notice, if Daley loses in Japan, or if Woodley declines to fight Diaz, then the April 9 card is going to be weak, at best. And once you consider the relative weakness of the March 5 card, that'll be two shows in a row that appear weak on paper. And yes, I realize that a show that is weak on paper can be the best show of the year, and vice versa. But considering how hot Strikeforce has been recently, this would be a real body blow.

3: Strikeforce's credibility will be shot if they can not come through with the remaining quarterfinal fights on the exact date they promised. Strikeforce will forever etch into granite their reputation of being the promotion whose tail wags the dog if they can't deliver what they promise.

4: There is now a MAJOR competitive disadvantage in the tournament. Let's theorize that the remaining quarterfinal fights happen in May. Let's say after those two fights that the two winners (let's call them Barnett and Overeem) want a reasonable 13 weeks between fights. That places the semi-finals somewhere in the middle of August. That would mean Barnett and Overeem on three months notice would be fighting against Kharitonov and Silva respectively on six months notice. Those disparities are, believe it or not, the BEST case scenarios. Check this out...

Showtime and Strikeforce both know that the number one reason that the Fedor vs. Silva card drew so heavily was because they marketed the show as a "Grand Prix." Showtime will of course want the semi-finals to commence as quickly as possible, so as to re-establish the momentum of the Grand Prix. Would you really put it past the corporate overlords at Showtime to pressure Coker, Overeem, and Barnett into accepting semi-final fghts in five or six weeks notice? As if the unbalanced bracket wasn't unfair enough, now we're working short rest into the equation as well? And here's yet another worst case scenario...

Imagine if Overeem and Barnett advance in dominant fashion, and one of them gets slightly injured. Not torn ACL bad, but just bad enough where they might need four or five months instead of three months before either man is ready for the semi-finals. Now that the tournament, which was originally slated to end by September, has already been delayed, would Coker replace a slightly injured fighter for the sake of expediency? Imagine if Alistair Overeem knocks out Fabricio Werdum in 30 seconds, but breaks a bone in his hand and can't take a semi-final fight booking until three or four weeks later than Ken Hershman and Scott Coker want. Do they slot Fedor into his spot? Shane Del Rosario? Do they delay the tournament another handful of weeks, knowing that the world will blow up if they made everyone wait forever for the first round to finish, but then replace a fighter in an attempt to speed things up?

Scott Coker is a fucking buffoon. How the fuck is he going to have the second matches of the first round tournament take place four months after the first one?

His excuse? "We just ran out of time," Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said Tuesday, referring to the second leg of its Heavyeight Tournament quarterfinal round. "I didn't find a venue that we thought would work for everybody, so we decided to move it."

This shit is going to drag out into 2012. He should have just had one show with Silva fighting Fedor to determine who the number one contender is February and then had Overeem fight Werdum for the title in April and had the winners of those two fights meet in July instead of dragging out this gimmicky tournament.

Texas would be the place where the next round took place. After all, this is the same commission that gave Margarito a license AND they didn't even test for steroids at the last Strikeforce event held there so Barnett and Overeem have nothing to worry about.

Still looking forward to seeing the fights. I want to know if Barnett still has it.

Ovareem is most likely injecting Japanese nuclear waste at this point. They don't test for that.

Overeem obviously eats children for strength.


Tenderizing the meat.

Nah. When Overeem was in Japan to promote the K-1 finals they had him doing weird ass shit to promote. That's some preteen pop group they had Overeem strip off his shirt for so they could hold on to him.

The next card looks pretty fucking good -


Quote:
Alistair Overeem vs. Fabricio Werdum

Josh Barnett vs. Brett Rogers

Gina Carano vs. TBA

Daniel Cormier vs. Shane Del Rosario

Chad Griggs vs. Valentijn Overeem

'King' Mo Lawal vs Ovince St. Preux


Barnett v Rogers will be a bit of a rollover so looking forward to the Overeem fight more obvs.

Damn. Didn't know they were putting King Mo against OVP that soon. That should be a good one.

I hope Werdum drags Overeem into the second round, I want to see where is cardio is at. Its been 3 and a half years since the guy has left the first round. In his last 6 fights he's only fought for a little under 9 minutes.

He used to have issues when it came to cardio. Some claim that that was because he had to cut so much to get to 205 and thats why he gassed. But just by looking at him I can't imagine he could go very long with that frame.

I think the only type of fighter that could really push Overeem in that department would be an aggressive wrestler. I think Werdum is going to get TKOd in the first round.

By the way, Struve vs. Big Foot Silva is something I'd love to see at some point just because of the sheer height those guys.
