Strikeforce outcome...




Disappointing is the word that comes to mind.  I wasn't impressed with the fights that I saw on Saturday.

My predictions were decent I guess.  I scored 75% on foretelling who would win, even if my method/round predictions were less than stellar.

I had Werdum by TKO in the 1st.  It actually became Werdum by decision...and I will add that I felt it was a bad decision.  Bigfoot won that fight.

I had Mousasi by sub in the 1st.  Truth told, he won my TKO in the 2nd, a premature stoppage I thought.

I had Mayhem by decision.  The outcome was Shields by decision.  Even though I failed to get the winner correct, I had predicted the general equality of these two fighters in their skill level - it was either mans game.


I expected Fedor to be smart, stay outside, clinch, trip, armbar in the 1st...instead, Fedor got sorta punked.  I guess thats the reason you stay humbke and don't let the press make you out to be "tha man."  You might not be topdog after all.  Yeah, Fedor got a TKO in the 2nd and thats all some people need - but it should have been a more dominant performance.  The Fedor haters might be right, the days of the Last Emperor are drawing to a close.  Time will tell.  I'll be watching.
