Strikeforce: Miami
Date: January 30, 2010
Time: 10:00 PM ET/ 7:00 PM PT on Showtime, 9:00 PM ET/ 6:00 PM PT on EASports.com

The Jay Hieron vs. Joe Riggs fight will be broadcast on EASports.com to help promote the EA Sports MMA game.

This is a really interesting card to say the least. There are two throwaway bouts that are basically special attraction matches (Sims is terrible, and I'm still not sold on Lashley, who struggled to beat a below .500 career fighter in Jason Guida). The Herschel Walker fight is going to be amazingly terrible.

Cyborg is probably going to destroy Coenen. I'll be shocked if it goes past the halfway point of round one.

The two matches I'm really looking forward to are Lawler/Manhoef which should be a standup war, and Diaz/Zaromskis is a potential early contender for fight of the year.

Remember, the card is being aired on Showtime, which is a subscription channel. Links to streams are NOT okay to ask for.

Join us here at 10, or Lashley will be very mad:

LO-FUCKING-L, Herschel Walker?! I remember reading about him getting into MMA and signing with Strikeforce but I thought I didn't think it would actually happen. Funny shit.

I have Showtime so I'll probably watch this, mainly to see Lashley fight. Haven't seen any of his MMA fights, but he's in for a decent fight with Wes Sims.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Lashley vs. Mike Cook:

Lashley vs. Bob Sapp:

 

[X]

Bob Sapp? Such garbage. My autistic neighbor could KO Sapp.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Wes Sims is +850.

That's so tempting to bet on.

 

[X]

Bruce Jenner would advise against it.

Holy fuck Bruce Jenner is creepy

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Mauro Renallo is so much worse than Mike Goldberg, yet people unfairly shit on Goldberg all the time.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

So, which Herschel Walker is going to show up tonight?

 

[Turd Ferguson]

LASHLEY IS UP FIRST.

 

[jmt225]

Wes Sims looks in TERRIBLE shape. Lashley ought to destroy him pretty quickly.

 

[Mantaur Rodeo Clown]

Hopefully Lashley runs at the cage and breaks it onto a Samoan guy.

 

[Mantaur Rodeo Clown]

They call Wes Sims "The Bakery"

 

[Turd Ferguson]

I actually agree with Mauro.

Wes Sims would be a much better professional wrestler.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

HAHAHA Sims is so bad.

 

[jmt225]

Lol... that was the SLOWEST shot I ever saw, and Lashley still got the takedown. Sims is fucking horrendous.

 

[jmt225]

Man, what the fuck was that? This shit makes Strikeforce look like a complete joke.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

TERRIBLE stoppage.

Lashley looked great though.

 

[Mantaur Rodeo Clown]

Lashley was all over him like a rash on my date tonight.

 

[klunderbunker]

So Lashley beats another no name?

 

[Mantaur Rodeo Clown]

I think he was on TUF.

 

[jmt225]

TERRIBLE stoppage.

Lashley looked great though.

I don't know about that, man. Shit, the way Sims fought tonight, Kristal could have gotten in there and beat his ass.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

So Lashley beats another no name?

Sims isn't exactly a no-name.

Another can is a lot more of an apt description though

 

[Mantaur Rodeo Clown]

Kristal should step in and cut his promo for him.

Also, Stephen Quadros is FRIGHTENING in HD.

 

[Mantaur Rodeo Clown]

King Mo?

Wheres King Mabel?
