Here are my almost always wrong predictions. I don't know enough about the other three fights to even guess how they'll go.

I never heard of Showtime Extreme until reading about this event. I wonder if the prelims will be online. Probably.

To be fair, missing a thread on fark could be interpreted as a symptom of having a life.

Meisha Tate

Battle of hot biatches that could beat the ever loving shiat out of you.

/mean that with all due respect

Hoban Washburne		2012-01-07 06:51:39 PM

Oh, wrong card apparently. I still stand by my statement.

/shows how closely I follow Strikeforce

One Bad Apple		2012-01-07 07:39:01 PM

I am posting in an historic Fark thread.

IIRC there has never been a LIVE Strikeforce thread.

Big congrats to somebody and thank you Mods

Dammit. I really want to watch this, but the Saints are about to beat down the Lions...

I need an extra monitor...

You should be able to watch some of it, Strikeforce website sucks but I think this is just the prelims starting now.

This game is gonna take 3 hours. I'm gonna have to skip it and download it later. :(

Is Gchat farking with your stream?

TD Lions.

dr_blasto		2012-01-07 08:20:52 PM

After picking every fight incorrectly last UFC, I will refrain. Oh, maybe just one.

Rockhold will TKO Jardine in the 3rd.

TD Lions.

The main fights start at 10pm ET to 12:30, I think, you should be able to watch some of it. Hell, by the third quarter the Lions will be up by enough that you can comfortably switch over.

Awesome. So is your Gchat all farked up?

You do realize that these fights are all scripted, don't you?

937CptCrunch		2012-01-07 08:51:19 PM

I like the article about Jardine, after the UFC cut him, and he main carded an event that drew around 100 people.

Honestly, I've never really thought him a top tier fighter. Maybe a gatekeeper in 205, but he didn't really have elite skills standing or on the ground

styckx		2012-01-07 08:51:56 PM

OoOoh Strikeforce thread! Nice!

Yay, Villante got a ko in the first, so far I'm 1 for 1.

Your Average Witty Fark User		2012-01-07 09:23:47 PM

Rockhold is a cock, and Jardine has a glass jaw these days. Damnit.

/Jardine
//Please...

My brother flicking back and forth between Strikeforce and the football game has forced me to look online for a stream.

Football is SO boring.

That is too cool. If I remember I will make one for 142

Im streaming this and I have football on in the other room. I'm doing a lot of walking back and forth.

I'm using the firstrow stream now. Seems to be good. Am I the only one that thinks Jon Jones pre-learning MMA for this guy?

downpaymentblues		2012-01-07 09:37:23 PM

Um. How the heck to he win that?

It could be updating at the tapology website, or he could be updating the image and rehosting it.

Well that last fight on the undercard was about the worst judged fight in a long time.

Haven't watched Strikeforce in ages.. This is so amateur feeling.. How many in attendance?

UFC owns Strikeforce, just so you know. When they have a show in San Jose, there are 11, 000 or so in attendance.

Yeah I know UFC owns Strikeforce but the production is annoying. It just seems like dudes with unsteady camcorders reaching over the top of the cage.. Awful camera work.
