Bloody Elbow

Jardine is going to knock Rockhold out in the most awkward fashion imaginable.

Ak.Death - January 7, 2012 reply

KJ Noons would like to have a word with you.

pdl - January 7, 2012 reply

So you have a dog in the fight...

of most beautiful hair in MMA?

I second this opinion. The power of the Noons hair is second to none.

I should add that Nunes’ hair was looking pretty darn good in his last fight. Credit where credit is due.

KJ Noons hair weeps at the site of Rockhold's.

His is also quite thin, whereas Rockhold’s is not.

Rockhold’s hair is king. All hail Rockhold’s hair.

Chael Sonnen’s hair could be in the mix if he’d get a better style. Very healthy hair, despite all the TRT.

GTFO of here with Sonnen hair.

His hair could probably kill a horse.

Lorenz Larkin's hair by artistry.

Rockhold's hair is quite luxuriant. However, Jardine's unorthodoxicalness will win

Skoobs - January 7, 2012 reply

so much for those upsets :(

Rob Young - January 8, 2012 reply

Aside...

How come no BECW for strikeforce events?

PG doesnt list them as major

And to be quite frank, I have no idea why someone of your picking prowess would want that.

halitosis - January 7, 2012 via mobile reply

What's your score so far this season?

69

What is your average?

halitosis - January 7, 2012 via mobile reply

71 avg so far this season.

Well played.

halitosis - January 7, 2012 via mobile reply

Wait, this is tonight?

How the hell did this card sneak up on me.

NFL playoffs?

Lets Muther******

MicahtheCynic - January 7, 2012 reply

I chuckled.

My picks

Rockhold, Lawler, King Mo, Woodley and Saffiedine altho id like Sardine and Adlan to get the W.

Chin Check - January 7, 2012 reply

Am i the only one that thinks

Lorenz larkin looks like carlton from fresh prince

bushwhacker474 - January 7, 2012 reply

lol yeah

He really does

halitosis - January 7, 2012 via mobile reply

No Showtime on Dish network wtf

Chester J Lampwick - January 7, 2012 reply

Or Comcast or AT&T.

Tim Bernier - January 7, 2012 reply

Oh so that’s why my free preview isn’t working.

Goddamn Comcast. Or Showtime.

Yeah, been on the phone with them bitching.

I love Dish, but sometimes…ehh…

Block rocking beats!

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 7, 2012 reply

In case anybody does not know Showtime is having a free weekend on most cable providers right now so most everyone should be able to see this!

Rutager - January 7, 2012 reply

pretty interesting in the Detroit-New Orleans game

Nick Fairley did a judoesque hip toss to tackle down the New Orleans running back

Meechum will be shitcanned ifmthey lose this game...

And Henderson saves his ass

Alright, finally get to be in an uninterrupted live thread with you sons a bitches.

Too bad the undercard ended in record time...

Besides Burke, anyone else watch Canucks-Bruins this afternoon?

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 7, 2012 reply

im a hockeyhead

caught a little of it

i bet SS did as well

didnt he have the Canucks Cup Countdown thingy?

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 7, 2012 reply

War Jardine, Mein, and Larkin!

Got a parlay bet, eh?

Nope! I wish.

The Tempest looks terrible

Is it available in a teapot?

Everything at Showtime looks terrible.

Disagree

Due to Homeland

cmons - January 7, 2012 via Android app reply

Anyone else not sold on Rockhold yet?

Non-handsome people.

Follically challenged people

Yes

But his performance after that long of a layoff was very impressive. He should handle Jardine tonight, anything else is disappointing.

KidCanada - January 7, 2012 reply

Emmy Rossum

Jardine is pretty muh but it would be a great story if he won a world title after his herky jerky career

lol @ "world title"

I have no response to this. You got me

Nuh uh.

Frank Shamrock just said the MW division is deep! I can’t wait for Jardine vs. Frank.

I wish Woodley still used “Tabasco” as his nickname.

That might make me like him more

It would certainly spice his fights up.

You son of a bitch.

lololol, yes.

As soon as Hector Lombard goes back to Shango

This intro is better than the UFC intro.

not even close.

Comb your hair!

Never!

But I was agreeing with you… I noticed it read ambiguously after I posted it.

Oh. Okay!

I thought we were going to be foes.

How long

before Cyborg’s cut from the intro?

I’m slowly becoming one of those annoying UFC fanboys. I don’t even know who’s on this card aside from Jardine/Rockhold and King Mo and whoever the hell he’s fighting.

Jordan Mein, SON!

The Rory Mac of SF.

This, absolutely. Mein really impressed me after his last fight and I’m pulling for him tonight.

Elbows like those in the Cyborg fight deserve my support.

Those elbows were extremely brutal. Personally, I’m a fan of his body work.

TKO (standing elbows)

is the coolest

Like that standing elbow KO from MFC not long ago

I've rooted against Mo ever since the energy drink incident. I'm petty.

Mo's fighting Lorenz Larkin

Well, I think I made my point.

As in I haven't the slightest damn idea who these people are.

Big on the Mein train

I’ve seen him fight live twice. Kid’s got a huge upside.

Kent Carter - January 7, 2012 reply

God damn, Frank creeps me out.

I feel like he’s staring into my soul.

I feel like he's eating my soul

and getting bits of my intestines stuck in his braces.

he beat Chuck and Vera so he knows how to finish a fight. Uh…?

That is one red-faced molerat

Rainer Lee - January 7, 2012 reply

Frank is more like a pole-cat

GENTS!

What’s everyone snacking/drinking?

Myself, I have a gourmet, yes you heard me, GOURMET Ham/Swiss and, of course, Black Velvet and Diet Pepsi.

YOU?!

Rice, glass of water, sherm stick.

Tea and some special cookies.

A shot of Titos every time Mauro makes me say “The Fuck” out loud.

It's been real.

Your Poor Liver

is going to be hurting in a few hours!

Tito's is great.

Congrats!

Didn’t think you’d make the live thread.

I’m only at something like #8.

Liter #8?

Maybe if I included head shakes.

"Party of pain"

There’s one.

Leftover Texas Roadhouse. It's alright.

Meh. Texas Roadhouse.

Just bashed on a pot roast made by my gf

And am now hitting up the Millers

House Island IPA

cmons - January 7, 2012 via Android app reply

I hope Rockhold gets his shit pushed in

I also hope Mo gets KTFO and the UFC signs Larkin

Rockhold's hair is going to merc you

Oh Boy

Strikeforce is STILL using old Crystal Method songs from at least 10 years ago. Figures… and I like the song.

By the way, I’m reminded of how Gus Johnson isn’t there by what I saw earlier today when NBC showed that Texans vs. Bengals football game. If you thought that Gus wore a lot of makeup, you should have seen Tom Hammond! To quote something I read, it was like he’s in the middle of “sex reassignment surgery”.

Shnoobles McShnoobington, Esq. - January 7, 2012 reply

holy cow

like a tim burton character

calling it right now. 4/5 fights go the distance tonight

Can anyone imagine a combination of Gus Johnson's face and make-up and...

… Frank Shamrock’s braces and creepy smile?

Why did I read the word snack in there, and then it disappeared?

I have no idea

But that’s even creepier than the image I tried to create

Shnoobles McShnoobington, Esq. - January 7, 2012 reply

.. played by tim curry?

Played by Goldie.

The Belgian Banger…

Milletich aside I could do without this crew.

TMadeBurner - January 7, 2012 via mobile reply

yep

I think he started drinking on the job and I like it.

hes also the best commentator out of all of them

He doesn’t exactly have much competition, but I do like him.

Ever since he did those prelims by himself I knew he was gonna be good. /mma hipster

Don't know if he still does MMA Live but he was solid on there as well.

Part of pain?

Fuck you, Mauro.

Party, even.

Um…I’m ready to see King Mo beat some guy I’ve never heard of. Not sure what else is happening here.

Saints are bringing it now.

Poor Matthew Bishop

ahahahahha

what the fuck is that haircut??

Clearly pole-vaulting is the new football for MMA fighters

KEY IN THE CAGE

Hair whip!

The area they walk out by looks really low budget.

Are they holding this in a community college auditorium?

Why are the fighters walking out in front of a closed hot dog stand?

cause the open one is busy?

First rec of the night.

Hot dogs are so 2011

Horse dogs are the future

Motivation.

TMadeBurner - January 7, 2012 via mobile reply

Awww, Poor The Joint At The Hard Rock Hotel

Although, I do admit the setting DOES look rather strange. It’s like it is a small-time MMA show in some bizarre building in Japan, like ZST or Jewels.

Aisha Tyler's live-tweeting of the Republican debate tonight is pretty funny.

She’s hot as hell, too.

is that the girl from Archer?

I think so.

didnt like her on Friends but she’d get it now. Plus Lana would find the pointy end of a peen

Yes it is

Aisha is annoying as fuck and she's painfully unfunny on her podcast.

Besides that, I agree with you.

Lol

KGW - January 7, 2012 reply

nice topknot, brah

Cody McKenzie is not impressed

o/u Mauro puns?

Undercard Mauro isn't such a jackass

I guess I’m rooting for the guy whose head looks like a poodle.

same here brah

prediction

leg kick ko

were due one

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 7, 2012 reply

Saffedine looks good so far

lol jk

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 7, 2012 reply

LOL

HAIR WHIP KO!

The hair on this card

Has to go down as the worst of all time collectively

All it takes is one cameo from Chael’s Kennedy hair and all is well.

OHHH MY GODDD HE WAS ON ROLLER SKATES

WAIT LOL NO INLINE SKATES THESE DAYS DEAR LORD

lol

why would that come into his mind

Why does ANYTHING come into Mauro's mind?

Trepanation

Tedd Welch - January 7, 2012 reply

You kids are your hula hoops!

AND.

Jesus, I’m rusty.

Old fart

::chug::

That's gotta be at least a double-shot

is it just Mauro? Or does ‘taste the mat’ as he got kicked in the face count as well?

I don’t have the supplies to include Frank on this bs.

lol

FUCK IT. im gonna join you

You do Frank

He can do Mauro

See who gets drunkest first. Even though you have a late start, I’m sure it will be you, OBP. I fear for your liver.

I’m gonna alterbate between vodka, gin and jameson

Better line those bottles next to the toilet.

50% of the reason to watch SF events without muting them is to self enable.

Awkward grappling.

fun fight

I agree

Strikeforce mantra.

10-9 Stinson

Tarec. C’mon son.

yup

that round is an example of a guy winning the round in the last 90 seconds after getting picked apart for 3:30

Urgh!

Should have been able to finish Stinson.

Stinson is pretty impressive here

Saffedine has straight outclassed previous opponents standing

Great fight

10-9 Poodle

TASTE THE MAT

HOW DOES THAT TASTE

Stinson is giving me a Brett Cooper vibe.

Anyone feel me on this?

I feel you

He’s not taking a beating like Brett Cooper. At least not yet. I need more “head-whipping-back” action from him.

Frank's between-round analysis... Ugh.

Good round.

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 7, 2012 reply

10-10 BV

BOOMSHAKALAKA!

Nice work keeping this alive

He just took the kick, holy crap

Tarec land a push kick to the face. Stinson doesn’t fall. Shamrock asks how the mat tastes. I think this is gonna be a long night for me.

TMadeBurner - January 7, 2012 via mobile reply

this

Stinson looks very solid

Fighting-wise, that is.

Not, say, socially.

Well, yeah

He looks like a Naruto character.

What the fuck is going on with Saffedine's back?

Leprosy

it's how he makes weight

It is spreading fast

Pat implying that Midwestern guys like to stab each other?

I can see it

Pat revealing that he's nutz

Umm... According to Pat people in the Midwest like to stab people, I think.

So

Stinson only went to one year of college and then sparred with his roommate in the kitchen?

Sounds about right, just based off of his look.

He could have beaten Ray

Just like Jorge

Beginning to….“herbalize” Stinson?

19 all

I guess Saf decided some wrestling training was in order

after that Woodley fight.

jesus…

19-19

also Miesha is fine as hell.

Minus her nose.

I'm Italian

we like big noses.

Yeah, but her's is smashed.

yes...yes

Attractive girl, and the champd, but who farted?

Heidi desperately, DESPERATELY needs a new wardrobe person.

It’s getting comical now.

Miesha Tate

DAT ASS

Luke Rockhold

DAT HAIR

Smell farts face?

So you're saying she looks like Eli Manning?

Eli looks confused anytime he's not holding a football

Eli has the best "Who farted?" face of all time.

Tate talking some shit!

RIGHT TO THE GRUNDLE

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 7, 2012 reply

10-9 Matt Stafford

19-19

Meisha tate makes me horny for sex

This is a very raunchy fight night thread

I am enjoying it.

I’m very loose and a cheap date

That sounds so wrong when you take it a certain way.

take me that way you want

<333

Have you been horny for other things?

blow and hand jobs

HAND JOBS?!?

Nobody should be horny for a hand job.

im lazy

Dude.

A good old fashioned is great sometimes.

STEEL CUP FTW

Rogan’s gonna sue for stealing his catch phrase.

you know Diamond make a cup now?

Had to happen. And quite frankly, I’m glad it did.

Rogan should market a steel thai cup with a built in fleshlight.

Frank does strike me as the kind of guy who walks around in a cup.

I think Mauro said he got in the peninsula south of the equator. I gotta stop paying attention to the commentary.

I missed what Mauro said but I’m gonna drink anyway.

He said something retarded

So go ahead.

Worth a triple shot.

Good man

Tedd Welch - January 7, 2012 reply

Rufford is going to be the first Bloody Elbow Live Thread death

ahahah

I took it a bit literal and had a flashback.

put him there and pound him

Wrestling skill:0 Chance of winning fight: 1%

Of course I said that before and the guy was robbed.

He leakin

Call amberlamps

Just tuned in...

How did SF get a mop to fight?

Involved a hot dog stand and hormones probably.

I thought Ric Flair was going to put it over?

That mop was down to fight, good sir.

The mop may have won

Saf was SCARED! lol

This would be a just SD or Draw

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 7, 2012 reply

29-28 Saffedine

when asked if he gave that round to Saffedine he says ‘no. Im going to give himthe fight’ gulp

Gin.

already did the vod. Maybe this isnt the best idea

29-28 Saff SD

WHO CALLED THAT SHIT

nice

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 7, 2012 reply

whoa

these announcer blow eh?

Almost as much as the music.

A huge drop off after the prelims.

Great fight

Big heart by Saffiedine and the intelligence to turn it around.

Unlike the Swedish moron earlier, Saff has solid fight IQ

Yeah he did a great job of switching up to the takedowns when the striking went against him

Thankfully for Rufford

He is not drinking whenever Pat and Frank have an awkward exchange of dialogue, otherwise he’d be in an alcoholic coma before the main event!

Fuck, I’ve watched a SF event before and there are easier ways to check out.

30-27 lolwtf

LOL these scores!

Fuck I hate all these percentages and strikes landed and all this bullshit they say during rounds and in between rounds

I don’t need a fucking computer to tell me who got beat up

couldn’t agree more

Especially since all strikes aren't created equal

Yeah, I might be reaching here

but i’d liken it to describing a book by telling us how many pages there are and what font they used

???

30 27?

Who was the judge that scored it 30-27?

Rufford should do a few shots JUST for that score

30 27 was

adalaide byrd

I hope

to see Stinson again soon.

Same here

I wonder if people who use gimmicks feel stupider than they otherwise would when they lose...

Like stupid hair.

That hair was inexcusable

"thanks for coming everybody"

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

30-27? MMA Judges.

how do they work

Have there been any finishes so far?

1

on theprelims

thx

I also predicted only 1 on the main card

The chops

THE CHOPS

holy shit

Mir looks thin as hell

I wonder if Mir is happy.

They need to get Walker on FOX

Yes.

Mir

looked trim.

Please say someone screencapped the Mir smile

Joe Lozito is the man

1. Stop mugger
2. Talk about MMA
3. Free MMA tickets

fuck yes.

now i gotta hear this asshole talk live...

She must have horrible breath tonight...

All the fighters are keeping their distance.

lol

She's just full retard

And the fighters don’t want to catch it

And You Should Never Go Full Retard

She isn't a "real fighter" so he isn't impressed

nice

Jardine is right

Rockhold is very pretty

Don’t look in his eyes.

They are too beautiful not to look into

I really need screen-in-screen

so I can be keeping tabs on football.

A computer?

She probably got pregnant just from interviewing him. Dude is stud.

He is testosterone incarnate

He would turn Miletich gay if they even shook hands.

Lord knows what he'd do to Frank...

Let’s just keep him away from Frye. Nobody’s inner child is ready for that scene.

When Frye's mustache meets Rockhold's hair . . .

MY GOD.

Cris Cyborg was hanging around him before her last fight.

So Rockhold can tame the wild beast, even

those elbows just made me a fan of Mein

he's fun

about to get fitched real bad tho…

if Woodley shoots without setting it up I could see him punishing him. But you’re prob right

Plus if Daley couldnt finish Woodley I’d be shocked if this guy could

Speaking of Fitch, he hasn't tweeted since he apologized for letting his fans down immediately after the fight.

Kinda weird.

Prolly drowning his sorrows in Skyrim

nah Fitch is WOW alliance

and he is getting corpse camped in the Redridge Mountains by an undead shadow priest

was that actually him. Or someone tweeting on his behalf?

Idk. It was like, minutes after the fight, so you're right, could have been someone else.

It was weird anyways, kind of a depressing tweet. After seeing some of those UFC vlogs lately it’s sad realizing how emotional a loss can be.

yeah

just it was so quick after it. It would be the last thing on my mind if i just got KO’d and blew my chance for a rematch that was never coming

lol

God told Woodley he was going to have a war

Mein has massive upset potential tonight

He's just a simple kind of man

WAR MEIN

Beat the boring wrestler!

Rob Young - January 7, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Is Woodley

even considered a blue chipper like he used to be?

He would be the prototype for Pat

If he was building a fighter. Just like every other fighter on the card tonight

what a fucking stupid thing to say

Who’s got Pat on drinking duty?

how hot is the ring girl

98.6 degrees F

So she's not sick?

You Know

One thing seems to be on your mind above all else… not that there’s anything wrong with that. I just happened to notice you being preoccupied with a certain topic.

daddy horny michael

Nothing says Oh Canada like…Lynyrd Skynyrd?

dont be hatin

they played downtown here last weekend… FREE BIRD

Zombie Skynyrd

Remember when people said Woodley could beat Diaz?

Hee hee.

I love Diaz, and I'm no fan of Woodley

but he is exactly the kind of guy who could steal a decision from Diaz.

LETS GO MEIN!

Woodley can tie his shoes without bending over.

Long arms, you know?

You ALWAYS go high crotch and lift

Woodley working hard for the Fitch.

If woodley wins this fight with failed takedowns I'm gonna be pissed

Pro at 16?

wtf

Well, according to the UFC

Melvin Guillard had to have went pro at around 4.

With all of the fights they added to his record and all.

Some places you can be a pro fighter at 16.

Thailand?

coming up round 2

takedown rinse and repeat

Fitching!

BTW: Saints pouring it on.

....dammit

Bengals lost

I won’t care about football again til the Superbowl

Like I Said Before

Poor Matthew Bishop. Hopefully he isn’t so heartbroken that he won’t be hosting Bloody Elbow Radio later tonight.

well, shit.

Rob Young - January 7, 2012 via iPhone app reply

does Strikeforce have a champ in WW yet no?

after Diaz left no...

probably be T-wood/Tarec 2 for the title if Woodley pulls it off

whats up with that

just give it to Woodley and get it over with

Strikeforce does not have a WORLD CHAMPION at WW yet.

Strikeforce doesn't have a world champion of anything

They have two world champion retards in Frank and Mauro

haa

wel played

got damn

Does DTV get free Showtime tonight?

Yup.

I’ve seen woodleys back tattoo on a couple different affliction tees… Sweet

You missed the BE fantasy draft!

Nooooooooooo!!!! I pick auto no?

bonesthebaptist - January 8, 2012 via mobile reply

Well Woodley wont be getting into the UFC anytime soon fighting like this.

No Strikeforce fighters will be getting into the UFC any time soon.

pdl - January 7, 2012 reply

It makes it really hard for me to care about these fights

It seems like we’re most likely to see recycled fights over the next years of the Shotime contract.

yeah its not like Strikeforce are gonna sign any new exciting prospects so were stuck with the same fighters

Kind of like exactly how Strikeforce always has been

At least before we could hope for them to get into the UFC after expired contracts

The current SF roster is committed to SF. OBP has a point about up coming prospects, but, how far can they really rise in an organization with only 8 events a year?

Nothing really has changed

Melendez had no worthy fights left. He is in the same position. Diaz had no worthy fights left. He has moved on. Overreem fought twice for them in 3 years. Robbie is still doing the same thing.

I honestly think it is business as usual but some people think that Zuffa being in charge is making the fights irrelevant.

Yeah, I only started follow SF last october

My problem now is that they lost of lot of talent right after the merger and there’s not much left for me to get excited about.

Watching this fight I am actually very glad they're keeping them in SF

More fitchery coming.

The commentating seems better than usual tonight

Mauro has calmed down a bit that's why.

and there goes my money. fuck.

Rob Young - January 7, 2012 via iPhone app reply

I might need to change the channel, when it's King Mo doing this

to my favorite prospect

Mein opened at +280.

and will close at 27

Best commentator of the night: The wives of the fighters.

Ha.

A hearty eff you to Time Warner for failing to participate in the free preview weekend

Comcast is the same way. And they don't have Fuel. So fuck them twice.

oh never mind it's the chunky guy with the funny hair

Even worse

Rob Young - January 7, 2012 via iPhone app reply

I remember my first Woodley fight.

You know

I think you’re right. Never had Showtime but recently got it (like a week before the free preview, thanks Comcast) and I do not enjoy this at all.

Rudy Bears was his last fun fight.

That was a loooong time ago.

At least Fitch was more active on the ground than this. This fucking sucks.

Mein’s dad is fucking annoying. Sounds like Bonaduce.

Commence Fitching.

Woodley – 10 Fans – 8

Even the ref looks bored.

Wrestling Skill: 0. Chance to win fight: 1%.

Could It be possible that Woodley is actually more boring than Fitch?

This could be. This could be.

yeah. Least fitch had the deceny to get Knocked the fuck out

Nice

Dick.

no offence

…

You weird people and your c's where your s's should be!

and e’s where you would put i’s

At least Fitch is active in his attack on the ground.

This^

Woodley threw like 5 punches on the ground.

booooooo fuck you t-wood

Rob Young - January 7, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Woodley really is a world-class LNPer

Woodlied. Not Fitched.

I would love to see a 10-9 for Mein there. Never happen though

This dude is sooooooo fucking boring

I hate watching this guy fight!

30-27 Kelli Hutcherson

mmmmmm

Mauro has been dry for a bit. Taking shots for past sins.

die in a fire t-wood

Rob Young - January 7, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Woohoo!
Fitch, your brethren are continuing your Legacy!

and fight over

A knee?!!

time

to go to the bathroom, get a beer.. etc

Woodley should fight like me

when I use him in ea mma.

lol

You pick Woodley in EA MMA then don’t lnp your way to victoery?

I actually have used him to lnp

but I usually ko’d people.

Undisputed>EA MMA

sure

if you like robot fighting

I do. Sure it was rigid as fuck (and the new one looks the same) but I never got into the analogue stick striking

you can switch to buttons in ea mma

for reals? shiiiiiiiiiittt

Megatron is such a beast

he’s doing very well for my post season fantasy team.

fuck this ref too

Rob Young - January 7, 2012 via iPhone app reply

fuck this ref too

give some shitty judging to the dude on bottom.

I wish this was going for five rounds.

How does a grown man get held down against his will by another grown man.

If you get laid and prayed, you need to find a new profession — how embarrassing.

unfortunately t-wood is so good at it that he could do it to the whole division

Rob Young - January 7, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Sounds like James Toney.

If a good wrestler like Woodley or Fitch

is really committed to not broadening their game, there is very little anyone can do about it. You can’t replicate a lifetime of wrestling training.

That's why knees to grounded opponent's heads should be legal.

omfg he could have easily gotten his legs out and gotten that triangle

he’s just comfortable just laying on top

Why is the ref not standing this up? Woodley is just lying on him for minutes at a time

"Because... Well, fuck it, that's why." - The Ref.

Hey Now

He was waiting for Mein to attempt a submission! That’s the perfect time to stand the fighters up.

the fix is in

Rob Young - January 7, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Please fire this ref

That is all

Yes

I’d rather see Kim Winslow reffing in there! And that’s a statement I rarely make.

If people prefer Kim Winslow and Steve Mazzagatti over you

You know you fucked up

The only thing that would make this me

Less mad about losing 15min of my life… Would be ms tate walking over and shutting up woodleys wife…

Strikeforce WW title fights are about to go from Nick Diaz brawls to….this. Quite the contrast.

Jeffigatame - January 7, 2012 reply

Mein takedown wins the round and thus the fight!

saints

saints super bowl wow

This fight sucked.

Can Woodley be introduced as a “Bump and Grind” fighter next time out?

I approve this moniker

except that I do see something wrong

With this kind of bump and grind

Rob Young - January 7, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Hahahahaha

Easy +1.

The crowd’s telling me no! BUT MY CORNER, YEAH MY CORNER IS TELLING ME YES!

And one for MTN too.

Boo louder Las Vegas

When you have to ask MMA crowds to boo louder, it’s a bad fight.

Woodley is boring.

sklart - January 7, 2012 reply

I hate the ref ALMOST

as much as I hate Woodley. Almost.

The main card is off to a hot start.

Saffedeine-Stinson was pretty decent, but this has killed any momentum they might have had

Thank god the next fight doesn't have any wrestlers.

Ugh, Tarec-Woodley I was shitty enough. No need to see a second one.

I didn't see it

But after this and the Daley fight, I have no desire to see it

Woodley bored Semtex to death too

he’s really entirely as bad as Fitch.

Mazz stands up an active fighter and this guy won’t stand up a guy that is doing no dmg at all.

if you were a fighter and you were getting booed like fuck would you actually care and try to make it more exciting or lnp and collect that check

t-wood don't give a fuck

He’s gettin dat paper

Rob Young - January 7, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Would I want a bigger paycheck or just the W?

yeah

Who won the Woodley fight?

I went to take a shit. Figured it’d be more entertaining than watching the fight

how was it?

Very exciting

And explosive

athletic?

More technical

it has no future

LOL

The hell does she have to worry about? It’s not like Mein is going to steal it.

Woodley should be fitched

and stuck in the fucking prelims

19Miles - January 7, 2012 reply

hahaha

split ?

LOL WHAT!!!

HAHA

awesome

woah split decision lol

Woodleys wife doesn't know shit about judging.

Anthony Peer - January 7, 2012 reply

Holy fucking shit

Split Decision LOL

LOL SPLIT DECISION

LOL

Meh

Terrible fight. But why should I blame Woodley? Mein and fighters like him who know exactly what guys like Woodley plan on doing need to prepare accordingly. Zero sympathy for Mein.

have sympathy for the fans

that MMA scoring, judging and reffing not only allows, but encourages abortions like that.

What are

judges, fans, and referees supposed to do? Woodley won the fight because Mein couldn’t do shit. Again, that fight sucked. But it wasn’t only Woodley’s ‘fault’: a relative term given Woodley did exactly what he needed to do win. Only fighters will able to discourage this style of fighting. And that’s the way it should be.

Fans can't do shit, except not watch people like Woodley and Fitch

Judges can deemphasize the value of takedowns followed by nothing, refs can be more aggressive with stand-ups, and MMA rule makers can think about things like knees to downed opponents to discourage lazy takedowns.

What will

deemphasizing takedowns do? Will the guy on bottom magically score points? It’s not like that will change. As for stand-ups, I disagree. I don’t have a problem with them, but they should be organic. Fighters should be forced to learn how to get back up, otherwise guys will get lazy and it’ll reward shit like “let me hold on to get us stood up” tactics. And ironically, knees to downed opponents would likely benefit wrestlers. But that’s beside the point

They would only benefit wrestlers

If they are active and pass guard.

discoandherpes - January 8, 2012 reply

Exactly.

Someone doesn't like Jordan Mein

From discrediting his Zaromskis win to defending T-Wood. Woodley didn’t even attempt to do anything, he didn’t even posture up once. He used a garbage referee to his advantage to literally just lie on top of Mein for that whole fight.

How is the referee

garbage because he didn’t reward Mein for having no takedown defense, and being unable to scramble back up? Not liking Mein has nothing to do with it (I’ve seen like, two of this guy’s fights). What a weird comment.

How was the referee not garbage?

Now you’re just trolling. Woodley made 0 attempts to inflict damage or improve position which is clear ground for a stand up and then the only time he did stand it up was when Mein was working for a submission. Also look at the 20 comments or so regarding the referee being bad above you.

How am I trolling

just because I think Mein is as much to blame as Woodley? And who cares what the comments said? I’m not saying Mazzagati is good. I’m saying refusing to stand them up is not an example of bad refereeing. Let Mein do the work. Fighters just won’t learn if refs are influencing the fight for them.

I actually think stand-ups are stupid. They’re arbitrarily used, and take away from the “purity” of fighting.

Well considering its the referees job to stand them up due to inactivity

And the only time he did stand them up was when the guy on the bottom was being active, it is 100% an example of bad refereeing.

And Mazzagatti wasn't even the referee

Are you sure you even watched the fight?

Who fucking

gives a shit? Mother of god. Whoever the referee was didn’t fail to do their job: Mein failed to prepare. Again, this isn’t by itself an example of bad refereeing. Someone please explain to me why stand-ups are necessary in the first place, and maybe I’ll consider the validity of your point.

Doesn't matter if they're necessary becasue they are part of MMA at this point and time

but I have one question. UMADBRO?

I hate

coming across like a dick, but what is the point of this debate if it’s not a discussion about whether these rules are valid in the first place? Getting taken down is a part of MMA. You don’t accept that just like I don’t accept that referees should play a part in a fight that doesn’t intrinsically require officiating.

I understand your point

But you can’t say Woodley was doing any more than stalling for the vast majority of each round. He literally rotated into guard to avoid passing. He never took his chest off of Mein. That’s on him. And it is in now way effective offense.

Of course

which is why it was such a shitty, terrible fight. But that’s on Mein as much as Woodley far more than simply the officials. I want to see fighters evolve to counter “lay and pray” as opposed to watching a system accommodate fighters that refuse to evolve themselves.

Mein does hold some of the blame

But Woodley, moreso in my opinion. It’s not as simple as learning to sprawl and you know that. Woodley is a decorated wrestler and he’s going to be able to take most people down. His refusal to engage when he gets the fight to the ground is his own fault.

I have no problem with takedowns

King Mo displayed exactly what to do once you get a takedown. I just have a problem with a guy doing literally 0 once he gets it to the ground. Woodley didn’t even attempt to posture up once.

I totally disagree

Yes, Mein needs to work on his TDD, but what do you do when the guy on top is doing nothing but clinging to chest on chest and throwing minimal strikes. You can’t create openings to scramble or catch a sub. At one point woodley deliberately rotating back into guard when he could have passed to side control or at least half guard.

It's not just about

TDD. It’s about giving yourself the best possible opportunities on the bottom. Diego Sanchez won rounds from his back against Guida because he was active as hell. Throw up a butterfly guard, or anything to create scrambles on the ground. Either way the guy on bottom shouldn’t be rewarded just because his opponent put him there against his will.

And the guy on top shouldn't be rewarded for refusing to pass guard or throw strikes

holy shit

Judging justice? L n p don't play in strikeforce...oh wait...

MMA Judges!

whoa............

ha! 29-28 mein almost made me crack a smile.

sklart - January 7, 2012 reply

For a brief minute I hope that Mein would actually get the win

Put him away by doing nothing?

As a Giants fan, I fear the Saints in NO a lot more than I do the Packers at Lambeau.

As a Jets fan you can blow me

and lose to matty ice tomorrow!

Not going to happen

If Woodley’s mother was there she would have rushed the cage.

Lol did God also tell you grind hips with another man?

Can a title fight

be an unaired prelim?

I’ve been hoping every title fight Sarah Kaufman is involved in is one.

The new Jon Fitch.

Psychic Octopus - January 7, 2012 via mobile reply

Watch Fitch come out for his next fight and sub some guy.

Tonight's judging...

LOL

+11

Easy son

lol

Good fight!? You are bad at your job.

It wasn't as bad as everyone made it seem,

but good is a bit of a stretch.

It was terrible, I just saw it.

I wouldn't watch it again,

but it didn’t bore me to tears or anything.

Watch king mo wrestlefuck Larkin

Mo wrestles Larkin, Lawler wrestles Amagov, and Rockhold wrestles Jardine, all fights going to a decision.

Isn't amagov a wrestler too?

I assume Lawler is a better wrestler due to his past and experience.

ZOMBIE JARDINE

Gugabe - January 7, 2012 reply

Wow, he looks like he lost already.

Jardine looks fucking MISERABLE

priceless

LOL :)

What A Night For The Judges

I didn’t see the fight but I heard about the James Terry bout.

Meanwhile, Jardine sounds just thrilled to be there. Then again maybe he watched the last fight and just woke up from his nap…

So, I should really be a mod. Juss sayin...

I would be more ban-happy than you!

Castillo's here

Hopefully he took care of that little issue

Sweet, didn't know he was on the staff. Dude's a great writer.

Absolutely

Tyron Woodley is...

A Wrestler who doesn’t try to get out of closed guard when the opportunity is readily available.
A Wrestler with almost non-existent or very weak ground and pound.
A Wrestler with no confidence in his striking even though he is better athlete.
A Wrestler who gets out-struck from the fighter he is on top of in closed guard from the second round.

Tyron Woodley has all of the symptoms of a LAY AND PRAY WRESTLER. No more Tyron Woodley fights for me, after seeing this and the Saffedine fight, I conclude he is another boring welterweight wrestler.

amendamatrix - January 7, 2012 reply

They need to farm him out to Japan, so he can either knee, or get knee'd , in the dome.

I work out

so what

I trane UFC

Lorenz Larkin

Looks like Carlton Banks

Rainer Lee - January 7, 2012 reply

I like it.

He actually looks just like my best friend

Like they could be twins.

Is your friend...

Carlton Banks?

Rainer Lee - January 7, 2012 reply

I wish

Soooooo. Sexy and i know it..played out, out really played out?

KING!mo KING!mo KING!mo

KING!

Mo!

It feels wrong for him to come out without that song

No harem, no song

Hard to have the harem walk out through the crowd like that. They’re meant for the stage.

Needs MOAR WOMENZ

Hopefully

this fight doesn’t suck balls too.

I hope Jester Mo gets face fucked

By way of both fists

Get ready for a carbon copy of that last fight

I can dream.

LARKIN!

NOOOOOOO!

oh shit its kim

someone is going to die

WAR LARKIN

upset pls!

Kim Winslow looks like death incarnate

if Larkin is a Kung fu fighter, does the knwow subs from baby monkey gaurd?

haha

That video had to be fake man

Robert Cowan - January 7, 2012 reply

Oh No

Kim Winslow IS reffing! Still, she has to be better than that fat ref in the last contest.

These guys both look explosive

LOL Riverside...

whats up with the stupid red streak in hair tonight?

RSIDE

RIVERSIDE!

ONE MAN! ONE BED! NO PILLOWCASE! ONE PILLOW!

YOU EVER GO NIGHT NIGHT!?

GOT UP! WENT BACK TO BED! TOOK A NAP!

SAY IT WIT YA CHEST

EVERYBODY GO NIGHT-NIGHT NIGGA!

I am stoked for his new special.

larkins hair

its a “bell” that is the symbol for his hometown of Riverside CA… thats what they always say when he fights…. meh

that was easy

I assume this is all there is to take from this fight.

Jones would murder King Mo

It's Kim!

JDH just got mad stoked

Hey

First time visitor to the live comments; I think it’d be cool if you guys could post the round updates in the live comments, a la BadLeftHook.. this is meant to be strictly constructive criticism though – love the site’s content but find it harder to follow fights shown in the US but not this side of the pond..!

They would get buried in a second.

We do, however, have about 20 guys on hand at any given time...

Who give out more competent scoring suggestions than the actual judges.

Thanks man. I appreciate it.

Still a good idea though

Yeah

thanks mate, just a suggestion

Eh, just click refresh and scroll up.

Right up at the top.

Oh

Sorry, didn’t realise

They are pretty quick, too. Get the updates up fast.

Ya, I wish the article updated along with the comments.

check yor email

Mate

You are a legend

no worries. that site is quality

Larkin definitely doesn’t look like a light heavyweight.

Larkin could easily drop to 185.

alright, I'm officially depressed.

terrible camera angle.

dont worry

robbie lawlor will bring some FISTIC FIREWORKS

I count on Ava Devine for all my fisting fireworks.

wrasslefuck 2012, ladies and gentlemen.

Rob Young - January 7, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Woah...

Mo was active…bad standup.

Agreed

B3lisarius - January 7, 2012 reply

Kim Winslowned.

If you come out with some stupid gimmick like shitty hair

And you get bear-mauled, you should have to come out with your head shaved in the next fight.

Mayhem?

I can agree with this

Refs need to be consistent

Or just right

I’d take a ref making a proper stand up at this point.

Mo trying to be Anderson Silva.

Sigh

Mo for the love of god stop showboating

Why is everyone saying Larkin should drop weight?

He looks huge compared to Mo, who’s a big dude himself.

Seemed a little soft in spots and he doesn’t appear to be very large.

And I’m used to seeing the giants that roam light heavy in the UFC.

He's a lot broader than Mo

And not too much shorter.

Who is this woman?

And why am I being forced to listen to her?

She’s just the worst. With the worst wardrobe and makeup department ever.

Winslow gonna Winslow.

Cormier is going to destroy Barnett

It’ll be interesting. Cormier could light Barnett up standing but it could be a different story on the ground.

How does Barnett get it there?

joker24 - January 7, 2012 reply

Barnet has great and unorthodox takedowns

How could Barnett be better on the ground than Cormier???

His only chance is beating Cormier on the feet.

If Barnett somehow, by some miracle, manages to get on top of Cormier, maybe.

But probably not.

alicks - January 7, 2012 reply

Here's hoping

I’ve really become a fan of his

Not a chance

Are you high?

Cormier is going to have his way with him.

Yes.

And I’m seeing things very clearly.

Psychoblack has it(HEADEXPLODE)

Larkin has K-1 level wrestling.

Good stoppage.

PWNT

Nice GnP by Mo

oh damn...

nice GNP…

wow

She should have stopped the fight 2 punches before that

Yep. Way too fucking many shots.

Sure

But compared to her past history AND the performance by the fat ref in the last contest, it doesn’t look as bad, although it still was a mistake.

Well that was a brutal finish.

HEY WOODLEY – THATS HOW YOU USE WRESTLING

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 7, 2012 reply

THIS

got damn

larkin must have pissed winslow off in the past cause she was letting him take some shots

I think I just saw Mo say "you can't fade me"

Rob Young - January 7, 2012 via mobile reply

that was brutal

Looked like Larkin was tapping.

looked like that to me as well. or trying to at least

certainly tried to roll over and limit the damage

Mo looks massive.

That was pretty brutal GNP

Mo! Get some fans!

Mo didn't cradle Larkin at the end

Classless

Again, Kim Winslow stops a fight late.

Rob Young - January 7, 2012 via mobile reply

SHOCKING!

She had to wait until he was out and then concussed

Winslwn'd indeed

I mean, what the fuck

Why did that moron let the fight keep going? She is such a bad fucking ref.

Oh good Mow the Lawn just won...

I really don’t like him.

Hart Thorson - January 7, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Hey JDH, remember when you asked about when Kim Winslow's fucked up?

Fuck King Mo

Oh god, I want him in the UFC so bad. I want Jon Jones to take him down, put him on his back where he’ll be useless, elbow him bloody then choke him till his eyes pop out.

that may be close to fighter bashing, sorry.

Lol @ close...

You are not alone

I am here with you…

In fairness you didn’t say anything against Mo, aside from implying he is poor off his back.

Jones is probably a better wrestler.

And he would stomp a mudhole in Mo’s ass and walk it dry.

better Greco-Roman wrestler

KGW - January 7, 2012 reply

Well...

at least with Winslow you won’t have to worry about an early stoppage.

How many more times does Kim Winslow have to fuck up

before she stops getting big league jobs?

15 punches.

King Mo is a sweetheart.

I'm probably among the few who think it was a good stoppage.

Hah, he's even telling her how bad a ref she is

Good on Mo

"honestly miss, you let him take too many punches"

Rob Young - January 7, 2012 via mobile reply

Nice

Kim makes some good calls

But sometimes I think she likes to see people get hurt

She….she does?

If you look very closely

and analyse the evidence

you may find some evidence to support this

She's a Dominatrix when she isn't refereeing

I thought everyone knew that

certainly looks the part

What did he say to Winslow before the decision?

Told her she let larkin eat too many punches.

you fucking suck Kim, like seriously

That’s what I thought I heard.

Every time I get salty at Mo for fighting like, well, Mo, I remember the heart he had against Feijao. Fighting from his knees trying to hold on. That was awesome.

Nice words Mo.

Lauren J Darkbloom - January 7, 2012 reply

Mo is quite diplomatic

I like this guy.

I like Mo ever more after this fight and hearing talk.

Him talk.

He manages to sound both ghetto and knowledgeable all at the same time

Ghettowledgable

Ref bashing FTW...

I’m not being sarcastic either.

Hart Thorson - January 7, 2012 via iPhone app reply

If it’s regarding a fighter’s safety, I think we have a right.

Seriously. Refs aren't risking brain damage out there.

I'm probably among the few who think it was a good stoppage.

Larkin ate way too much

Dude was way out, man

He seemed to be trying to mitigate with his arm. She was right to stop it when he rolled over.

He was flailing around unintelligibly, really

That was just before he rolled over. Before he was trying to block (wrongly) the punches with his forearm before that.

Woo Dallas is Lob City

I'm going to run your BB league

I picked a damn good team

I don't know some of the guys on my team

But stat wise, I did too.

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 7, 2012 reply

yesss, their playing Calling by Sebastian Ingrosso

i love that song

Love it, saw Alesso at Electric Zoo.

Going to Ultra in March.

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 7, 2012 reply

i went to EZoo myself

i went Friday (Tiesto) night but i didnt really know alot about S.I.

what night did he play?

Ingrosso didn't play, none of the SHM did, but I saw them at MSG 12/16.

Alesso played at Electric Zoo, he co-produced it.

lol @ Mike Kogan cornering him

Rob Young - January 7, 2012 via mobile reply

Anyone know why Feijao isn’t in the LHW Title talk? Is his contract up or something?

Dying to see him fight Mousasi

Best fight SF hasn’t made.

Good call

For realz.

And he’s coming off a hell of a win.

Finish your drinks and be scared of Mauro when he has a fighter to promote.

Tyron Woodley could learn from King Mo

1 – Get the best position to allow yourself to create space and posture up
2 – Posture up
3 – Rain down hell on your opponent

amendamatrix - January 7, 2012 reply

What is up with Strikeforce and garbage electronic music?

You must be over 30

No one calls it electronic anymore.

TECHNO?

What is it called?

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 7, 2012 reply

depends

mainly House or Trance

It’s almost as bad as metal fans.

i used to date a croatian girl who used that as a metaphor to ask me if i dated white girls

she asked if i liked house music or hip hop music(white girls or black girls) i had no idea what the fuck she was talking about at first

Calling - Alesso and Sebastian Ingrosso

SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA!

Wanderlei and Shogun walkout music

There's a bunch of subgenres.

Electronic is still fine.

Good.

The closest I get to electronic music is Daft Punk. So good live.

I remember the last time I saw them, they toured with Sebastian (whom I hated) and The Rapture (who are still fun as shit live, too).

Daft Punk are amazing live

Daft Punk is my go-to group for that type of music. Would love to see them live.

I also listen to Tom Middleton and his group Global Communication, it’s better described as ambient music.

First heard one of the songs on The Journey station on GTAIV and looked him up.

Techno

And it is actually a pretty popular song. They’ve played alot of popular Techno/House music tonight

hahahahahahaha

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 7, 2012 reply

nonsense

EDM is the shits

So Saints stomped em?

It was close for quite awhile

Saints poured it on in the 4th

No it's still called electronic music

If ur 16 you call dubstep or progressive.

Hart Thorson - January 7, 2012 via iPhone app reply

That was not dubstep at all

This seems like both a reply and a knowledge fail

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 7, 2012 reply

dubstep is a specific subgenre

Skrillex and Rusko is dubstep. SHM is house

Skrillex is that douche-nozzle former screamo loser, right?

Yeah the guy with like half his head shaved half of it long

Yeah, fuck him

Someone should kick his ass

Yeah Skrillex is a loser

That's how I know I'm getting too old

Dubstep all sounds exactly the same.

Nothing good has happened tonight

And I don’t care about Rockhold-Jardine. Maybe I should go to sleep.

oh wait, this should be fun

Why does it seem like Lawler fights in every other card but Feijao and Jacare can’t get a bout?

2 more fights, stick in there.

props for coming out to eminem

i love eminem

But coming out to eminem is lame

overused

sick of eminem now

Any time someone comes out to something other than rap/death metal it's incredibly refreshing.

hater

Pre-2001 Eminem I can respect

recovery eminem is the same as pre-2001 eminem

that’s how he used to spit before he got signed

recovery was awesome but seriously everyone comes out to it. And Till I collapse. Never heard anyone come out to Soldier though which is one of his best imo

id like someone to walk out to

still dont give a fuck

Can't understand half of Recovery

why?

He's just developed this new vocal style

that i find borderline unlistenable

ah

HitokiriX - January 8, 2012 reply

we call that

encore and relapse

Encore was just horrendously bad

I can respect Recovery but I don’t much enjoy it

yeah but “encore was he on drugs relapse he was flushing em out” Theres like one bad song on relapse imo and I love the rest

I enjoyed Relapse

Sometimes he tried a bit too hard to be silly but I like ridulous Em

Not a fan of angsty emo conflicted Em

the only song i like on relapse is beautiful. Ultimate emo conflicted Em lol

huh?

Thought you said you loved most of Relapse

sorry I meant recovery

encore wasn't that bad

i’ll admit there was dumb shit but there were a few gems on there

and i enjoyed probably 70% of relapse total. songs like stay wide awake — i loved his rhyme scheme and delivery on that song.

HitokiriX - January 8, 2012 reply

never enough, yellow brick road, one shot two shot and encore/curtains down are all good songs

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 7, 2012 reply

definitely

HitokiriX - January 8, 2012 reply

war Amagov

know nothing about him but he fights out of Jersey so i assume he knows Frankie or the Super Miller Bros

Masagatti AND Winslow? Nevada, you spoil me.

We need Cecil People to fill out the Trifecta!

You Know

It’s a bad sign when I’m delighted to see that The Mazz is going to ref a fight!

Shut the fuck up, Mauro.

Let Pat talk.

What did I miss? It matters.

Pat was talking about how it’s surprising that Amagov took Lawler down. Mauro goes “NUH UH!” Pat says, “They’re both strikers.” Mauro says, “Yeah, well STRATEGY.”

Paraphrased.

Thanks.

This.

He is going to tell Pat about strategy?

if lawler lnps to victory ill cry

Hahahahah

kennyflorian Kenny Florian
Some call Luke Rockhold the “Kenny Florian” of handsome people.

Wait.

Luke has a belt.

Kenny's one of the better MMA fighters to follow.

One of the only.

Oh, that's bad.

Damn, Lawlor playing it up a bit here

Good for him

lol

FUCK

Lol...

Beautiful knee!

Wish that were legal

beautiful

beautiful illegal gulp

Just a glimpse at how great top game wrestling COULD be if they changed the rules.

Perfectly legal in Pride and assorted Indian reservations.

Frank, you are very close to being my least favorite Shamrock.

Also

It’s funny to see something stupid like that come in a Robbie Lawler fight and it was not Lawler who did the dumb mistake.

haha that was fun

brief, but fun.

Hughes loved that

Lawler needs to get to the UFC.

That didn’t go so hot the first time.

Robbie is awesome

but he can barely cut it in strikeforce.

He needs to stay where he is at so he has a chance to keep fighting

looked like it missed him. guess not though

I think the punches on the ground are what did it.

dubstep is the bane of my existence.

Hart Thorson - January 7, 2012 via iPhone app reply

none of those last 10 shots landed clean. Weird

Huh

That looks fishy.

I wanna see that knee again

When it actually matters, they just ignore Mauro and put out decent commentary.

That knee totally missed.

I think it might have

I think that Frank thinks that all knees are beautiful.

Someone needs to show him thesaurus.com

And a better dentist

I mean, his teef aren’t fixed yet?

At this point, start from scratch.

At this point, the braces are def. keeping the chompers in.

Goldie could double his vocabulary...

Yeah, looked pretty weird on the replay

Maybe if they had showed it from more angles, it’d look more clear.

Are they gonna show the knee again or what?

OK, something isn't right.

dress for the job you want not the job you have

That’s just fantastic.

Looks like Lawler will get a 185 title shot.

Since when did they announce daley-misaki?

really?

Daley vs Misaki huh

pretty cool

Daley vs. Misaki?

Shit shouldn’t even be legal. Misaki is getting KTFO’d

Anyone think Mayweather v Ortize was pro wrasslin?

W00t

Semtex back in SF. That’s the best thing I’ve seen all night.

Wow

So Kaufman is fighting on the same card as Rousey/Tate? Did not know that.

Hart Thorson - January 7, 2012 via iPhone app reply

against who?

Robert V-U - January 7, 2012 reply

Levels!

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 7, 2012 reply

speaking of house

i hear LEVELSSSSSSSSS

DANA!

Oh shit, Dana and Mauro yelling each others’ personal space.

That sums it up perfectly.

LOUD NOISES

whats dana saying?

I can’t hear. Needs more shouting

Needs more BABA O REILLY

This fight won't make it passed the first round.

Jardine by DOMINATION!

LeDuc - January 7, 2012 reply

Commentate on Women’s MMA Dana!

It is physically painful to look at Mauro

Mauro looks like a nerdier Dana White, now.

Whiter than a man named White is Mauro, joe.

So much bald in one shot.

dana looking foward to women's mma?

C.A.M. - January 7, 2012 reply

Just like Matt Hughes

uh

doesn’t bellator do womens fights?

a believe the technical term is a burn.

Phildo - January 7, 2012 reply

Dana is looking forward to a women’s fight, my mind is full of fuck.

Rob Young - January 7, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Dana’s thrilled for the Jardine fight, too.

yes thrilled

Dana...

has that look on his face as he has that stare on his face of, “Mauro… what a dumbass this guy is!”

Soooo.... Dana White is into women's MMA now?

knockout_ned - January 7, 2012 reply

So much glare in one screen

Hart Thorson - January 7, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Dana seem a little burned out?

Mauro looks like bizarro Dana.

Bizarro Dana and Wario Yamasaki are the two worst MMA people ever.

I voted for yes cus chances are Rockhold doesn’t fight again for 2 years

"Anything happens... uhh... you can win or lose ... uh ... anything can happen in MMA!"

THESE THINGS HAPPEN IN....

Anything can happen in MMA

It wouldn’t be a SF show without the quote.

Gentlemen, we’re on national television!

Dana felt dirty at the end.

Did Mauro kind of punk White with that jab about Overeem beating Lesnar?

knockout_ned - January 7, 2012 reply

looked like dana was like “ok get me the fuck out of here” at the end

Dana wishes he could fire Mauro

Damn Showtime contracts

Rather have Mauro than Goldie

Not me

no

they should do

the voice, bas and rogan. That would be hilarious

And Don Frye can come in every now and then and talk about fighting his wife

sounds like the dream team.

Bas is pretty terrible though

discoandherpes - January 8, 2012 reply

bleeargh

dont we all

“It’s more fun when they don’t like each other.” (“…otherwise, it blows.”)

They gave Phil Baroni a chance back in the UFC

why doesnt Robbie take a few fights with the UFC?

He is always entertaining

elmojo - January 7, 2012 reply

Not always.

His last fight against Kennedy was UNGHHHHH

I don’t think they can bring guys over right now

Why

do I dislike Jardine? Like a lot.

Drinking for Jacare losing now.

The Dean of Lean.

Nice

If Jardine was a vegan he could be the "Dean of Bean"

If his name was Keith Johnson, that wouldn't make any sense.

pdl - January 7, 2012 reply

Or if he was a barista

Great entrance song

Keith looks hungry...for a burger!

AMIRITE!?

Mauro: “So, um, Strikeforce will be around a while?”
Dana: “Your job is safe until Anik is up to speed.”

Jardine is already mouthbreathing

Dude is pre-gassed!

If Jardine wins, my multi-card parlay has survived its first event with Jardine, lawal, woodley and Villante.

Rob Young - January 7, 2012 via iPhone app reply

I wish you luck, sir...bold play!

If Jardine loses, SF will do

Luke Rockhold vs Ryan Gosling

If Jardine was older, he could be the "Dean of Clean"

Haha

he should change it to ‘the dean of peen’

Jardine now looks like Fitch and Rothwell had a fetus.

That was aborted

Late term of course

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 7, 2012 reply

this song is in Hangover isnt it?

Hah, yeah. I like it as an entrance song, too.

good song

Broseidon - January 7, 2012 reply

More Danzig in my life is always a good thing.

Hes the one

Broseidon - January 7, 2012 reply

I want Jardine to win this and I have no idea why

Because it would be an absolute clusterfuck of a division?

How do you get more clustefucked than a division where the challenger is making his debut in the division?

He could fail to make weight for his first defense.

Was Silva/Vitor kind of the same? I think Vitor fought at MW in Afflcition but not the UFC

Pretty much

The UFC decided to make that fight, but Silva didn’t really have any challengers at the time, so I don’t blame them

Just to fuck things up... Me 2

RECE ROCK - January 7, 2012 via mobile reply

That's not even it for me

SF takes no steps to hide the fact that they don’t do matchmaking for rakings, but for exciting/fun fights for the most part. So messing up the division isn’t really an issue. There’s just something about Rockhold I refuse to like and I don’t know what it is. Well, that and Jardine is the Techno Viking

If Jardine picked up grain left in the field by the harvesters, he could be the "Dean of Glean"

So when Keith wears denim

Would he be the Dean of jeans?

Hart Thorson - January 7, 2012 via iPhone app reply

If he studies DNA replication.

Is he the Dean of Genes?

If he eats Soul Food, he,s the dean of greens

is the undertaker the special guest referee?

Fuck. Beat me.

THE UNDERTAKER!

Oh shit

I thought Undertaker was gonna show up for a second.

The Undertaker interrupts Strikeforce.

If Jardine was 20 years younger he could be the Dean of Tween

Tedd Welch - January 7, 2012 reply

nice

I don't think Dana appreciated that emphasis on STRIKEFORCE CHAMP ALISTAIR OVEREEM at the end of that interview

He’s still butthurt about losing his cash cow.

Rob Young - January 7, 2012 via iPhone app reply

If Jardine had feathers, he could be the "Dean of Preen"

Picture of a man earning a check

I would love to see Jardine win this.

If Keith was a genetecist, he'd be The Dean of Gene.

War Jardine

Rockhold’s been douchey this week

Jesus

Just picture Rockhold’s hair on CB Dolloways head. We’ve reached a new level of douchebaggery

If Jardine was into car suspensions, he could be the "Dean of Tein"

If Jardine was into shitty car suspensions

techno viking by ko!!

nah Luke is taking this.

Keith bouncing up and down before the fight. Dean of Trampoline.

If Jardine was in the prom committee, he could be the "dean of theme"

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 7, 2012 reply

If Jardine worked at a school, he could be the “dean of students”

Phildo - January 7, 2012 reply

WAR

Keith “The Dean of Antihistamine” Jardine

I actually want to watch this. Does that make me a bad person?

If Jardine liverkicks him, he could be the "Dean of Spleen"

But your spleen is on the other side of the body…

know-it-alls

Sorry

lets not get technical here

Undertaker.. Wanna do it?

RECE ROCK - January 7, 2012 via mobile reply

Wouldn’t it be funny if Jardine got a KO and became champ?

If Jardine was more of a tool, he could be the "Dean of Breen"

Yep

Mad props for you. I mean, and I’m not being sarcastic, but I also think that J. Breen is a major toolshack.

I can't stand Breen

Gotta love Jardine's weird ass staredown jaw movements.

I saw no nipple tweak. Everything is wrong.

If Herb wasn't reffing this fight

It would have been the worst line up of referees I have ever seen. Two fights for Kim Winslow and two for Mazzagatti

if he was gay

Dean of peen or dean of queen

If Jardine was the Dean of Kean University, he could be the "Dean of Kean"

Kevin Jennison J. Zametov-St Pierre - January 7, 2012 reply

i love it haha

So unorthodox Joe

Broseidon - January 7, 2012 reply

pat there are no fans in the bar

Bars don’t get showtime

Rob Young - January 7, 2012 via iPhone app reply

and they sure as fuck dont show strikeforce

Rockhold looks like Guy Smiley.

If he was the K-1 Grand Prix champ

The Dean of Reem

A+

Jardine is already frustrated. Things are not going to get better for him

Chris Hall - January 8, 2012 reply

Hey guys, I'm confused.

Is Jardine an orthodox fighter?

BVandDietPepsi - January 8, 2012 reply

Goofy

If Jardine was an internet joke, he'd be the "Dean of Meme"

Sorry, guys.

I took it meta.

that dosnt rhyme

get out

It's pronounced "meem", IIRC

Dean rhymes with meem!

for reals

I always thought it was me… me

If Jardine collected cans,

He’d be the DEAN OF TIN.

Jardine can’t handle the knees to the body.

AKA representing tonight.

was Herb hoping he'd die or something?

Jardine's style was awkward in 2007

Now it is just stupid

WTF is going on with the commentary?

TMadeBurner - January 8, 2012 reply

Herb doubted himself

Also he’s fucking Kim Winslow

Haha, I work PR in EDM.

Now

that these bozos are griping about the job that Herb Dean did, now it is time to turn down the volume and listen to something else. These guys just suck!

Blair Russell - January 8, 2012 reply

Yes they do

But Herb did fuck up. That should have been over three times.

Dean of Herb Dean

If Jardine was explosive and late in stopping fights, he'd be the "Dean of Herb"

Herb "The Dean of Mean to Kieth Jarine" Dean

Hahaha!

Now the haters can’t point to Kim Winslow as the ref with the worst stoppage tonight.

i disagree

i second

your disagreement

Jardine ate way more shots.

but larkin was way more unconscious.

verloc - January 8, 2012 reply

nah

Jardine looked out but Mo was delivering HARD shots for like 45 sedconds

Keith was up and down

Larking clearly had no where to go.

halitosis - January 8, 2012 via mobile reply

*Larkin

halitosis - January 8, 2012 via mobile reply

Larkin was being held down by King Mo, unlike Jardine.

Jardine needs to retire, he has no chin anymore. Also that was a fucking disgraceful by Herb

jammin.. - January 8, 2012 reply

Well,

Had fun live thread folks. Amazed I’m awake after another great SF event.

Clearly Luke Rockhold’s manly good looks projected a force field that prevented Herb from doing his job.

Tonley - January 8, 2012 reply

He has a nice ass

sun yue - January 8, 2012 reply

didnt wana say this

but yeah

if his last name was Johnson and he ran a heavyweight fighters's university named after an ADCC champ

He could be The Dean Of Jeff Monson, Keith Johnson

cool

peace out

Tats16 - January 8, 2012 reply

I hate to say this but

It seems like after almost every Strikeforce card I’m frustrated. I don’t know why, it’s not like that with any other show.

Hart Thorson - January 8, 2012 via iPhone app reply

No problem with Kim or Herb stoppage.

Dean's Dream is an awesome Dead Milkmen song

If I had photoshop and we could post pictures, this meme would never die.

Much fodder for the retirement thread coming tomorrow

Was thinking the same thing. Should've been a tumblr.

They should send Tito to Strikeforce ASAP

Tito "The Dean of Jardine" Ortiz

wait what…

It wouldn't make sense if his last name was Carter

Deaf ears, Luke

You’re staying right where you are

Luke Rockhold talking some real talk.

teenwoolf - January 8, 2012 reply

Ugh Rockhold, pulling a Melendez

jammin.. - January 8, 2012 reply

Rockhold turns many guys into King Mo.

Jus’ sayin’….. must be the eyes…

I think you mean Woodley

They just want to hug a guy and hold him down.

and Rockhold just took a shit on his own division.

Rob Young - January 8, 2012 via iPhone app reply

In his defense

he did just defend his belt against a guy who has won two of his last eight fights, and had never fought in the division.

DAT HAIR, LUKE

hope Rockhold knocks Kennedy out cold

Was going to post: If Jardine knocked out Kennedy, he'd be the "Dean of Marine"

But then I remembered TK is Special Forces.

Bisping would dominate Rockhold

..just sayin’

elmojo - January 8, 2012 reply

Herb's been questionable lately

Shame, he’s a bad motherfucker

If Rockhold never gets to the UFC, he'll be the Dean of What Might Have Been.

I see what you did there.

if he gets popped for drugs

the dean of charlie sheen

That fight card sucked top to bottom.

Patrick Tenney - January 8, 2012 reply

Yep, now that Zuffa has taken over and made some changes it really IS Strikefarce.

They were putting on some really awesome cards pre-Zuffa too. :(

Rob Young - January 8, 2012 reply

really?

For me it is what it always has been. Fights that don’t make sense but are usually awesome due to being completely one sided beatdowns

If by awesome you mean one guy laying on another one

then ok.

Rob Young - January 8, 2012 reply

oh yeah

forgot about all that. Last two fights were fun though. And the saffedine fight? Im reaching

Quality showing by the Dean of Cuisine

lolumad - January 8, 2012 reply

I say move Paul Harris over to Strikeforce so he rips Luke’s leg off and knocks off that hairdo with it.

MicahtheCynic - January 8, 2012 reply

You shut your whore mouth

No one should ever touch his gorgeous hair

Rockhold calling out UFC fighters? Come on son

He’s no f’ing Gilbert Milendez. He still has Tim Kennedy (who’d definitely give him a run for his money maybe even beat him) and a rematch with Jacare. It’s not like that wasn’t very close

Robust23 - January 8, 2012 reply

Eh, I thought he soundly beat Jacare.

Jacare was terrible that night.

i disagree. I scored it for Jacare at the time

I’d like to see Zuffa give Nate Marquardt a second chance. That would be a fight that would see where exactly Luke is at. I’m not convinced he’s upper echelon.

MicahtheCynic - January 8, 2012 reply

I could get behind this.

That’s a great idea.

I’m also not convinced of Rockhold.

ReAnimator - January 8, 2012 reply

has Marquardt fought since?

Not to my knowledge. I thought he had a scheduled WW bout against Yoshida in BAMMA, but haven’t heard much since.

MicahtheCynic - January 8, 2012 reply

according to wiki

he’s fighting for the WW title in Feb.against Yoshida
