Can anyone tell me when this knock out show will air? I know saturday but what time?
You have to check your local NBC station most places it’s on at 2:00 am some 3:00 and where I’m at I have to record it and watch it whenever because it’s not on till 4:00 am.
Cesar Gracie talked a bunch of shit about Frank leading up to that fight getting his ass kicked in the fight was kinda funny especially when his corner throws in the towel.
I never saw that fight
I watch the strikeforce show from time to time, if I’m up late and see it on the guide. I’ve seen most of the fights already, but every now and again they have one I haven’t seen, and it’s cool. Better than unleashed, because I’ve seen all those fights already!
awesome man…that Misaki KO of Riggs was HUGGGGE
Shouldn’t have been stopped at that point though.
ahem
Huge!? Oh man, that wasn’t even a knockout… that fight should be saved for Strikeforce “Worst reffing and biggest farces of 2008″ show
