can’t wait just got tickets today
No offense to either of the girls but I would have expected one of the title matches to be the main event in this one.
the girl match is a title fight but i do agree with the heavy weight fight should be the main event but this is the biggest women fight in mma history and we have been waiting for it for some time now
Agreed but we’ve also been waiting a while now for Overeem to get back in the cage and defend his belt.
we also have been waiting awhile for the thomson/melendez rematch but give the girls there main event, it’s a big deal and first in mma girls headline a card
I dont see why Melendez-Thomson isnt the friggin Main event!!!! thats just rediculious.
It doesn’t really matter who’s the main event does it? Let the girls get the attention for a change…they’re athletes too, plus, Gina is hawt!
Damm Straight we been waiting
They will be showing it women’s fight on here right?
I LUV GINA BUT I REALLY THINK CYBORG IS GUNA BEAT THE $#!T OUT OF
HER! I HOPE SHE PULLS IT OFF THO SHES THE BOMB >>>!<<<
nahhhh Cyborg is gonna be the one tappin’ for her azzz. Gina has it hands down
Does anyone know when nick diaz is fighting again and who againest
Look above myfriend just look above.

This is another reason why the UFC is so much better than any other promotion. They wouldn’t put a female non-title fight as the main event over two relatively huge title fights.
It’s akin to EliteXC creating such a buzz over Kimbo, giving precedence to a gimmick more than a better, more deserving fight.
I’ve lost respect for Strikeforce now.
Dude as was mentioned above the fight between Gina and Cyborg is a title fight.
Don’t be such a dipsh*t! Strikeforce has the ballz to think outside the box and go against the mainstream. They deserve a lot of credit. Too bad some people are intimidated by women.
thank you stopwhining….these jobbers have no clue about mma….they just got on the bandwagon about a month ago when they heard their favorite former WWE champ became UFC champ
kj noons is coming back to fight nick diaz. Gomi gets the winner of thompson vs. melendez!!
According to this article
http://mmamania.com/2009/06/30/joe-riggs-vs-nick-diaz-2-possible-for-strikeforce-carano-vs-cyborg-on-aug-15/
It looks like Diaz/Riggs may be on the card.
Anyone know where i can stream this off the internet as they dont show strike force in ireland !! i really dont wnat to miss that card, its sick !
gina carano by decision
Gina is gonna kick that scraps f———– ugly a———send her back 2 her man snivellin, she should just stay in his corner or on one. With love your Hometown Gina
How do we get tickets to see gina win the fight?
This card is better than 101 top to bottom. Yes the top two fights will be awesome on UFC 101 but after that????
If only Overaheem maned up. This could have contended for card of the year. Maybe we will get Roggers
I’m really excited that they found a way to make the Sobral/Mousasi fight still happen! That was the fight on Trilogy that I was most interested in seeing.
There are some pretty good fights on this card. They need to bring in Rogers or some other decent name to go up against Werdum and this card will be as stacked as you could possibly ask. Of course not getting to see Fedor SUCKS!
hell ya ! sick ass card! they shud get gomi in their 2 whoop somebodys ass! & bring in fedor 2 smash verdum or grim rogers!
every match on the card is worth being a co main even or even a main event on a smaller show.
nice
$50 on Gilbert or the asian guy getting injured.
I saw the video of Cris Cyborg in NYC dead lift her hubby off the mat and dropp him on his head, she did it 4 times, she also loooked in shape and very fast, we like Gina but she looked overweight and slow.
who the fuck cares about women fighting, fuck strikeforce. i dont want to see fedor beat down b level fighters and then watch some fat lesbos attempt a sport that they dont belong in. GINA CARANO IS A PUDGY MEDIOCRE FIGHTER WITH A PRETTY FACE AND TOO MUCH TESTOSTERONE. btw she’ll get fucked hard in the ass by cyborg bitch
Whos the fighting org. that has a woman ref??? that was funniest shit!!wtf are they thinking its an ugly ass brod!!
Why is the Werdum fight featured on both under and main cards?
this card could have been sooooo sick had Overeem, Diaz and Thomson stuck around. melendez vs. ishida sucked the first time, it’ll probably suck again. who cares about heiron vs. taylor? and actually, i’m half way interested in werdum vs. kyle after kyle handled feijao last time. babalu vs. mousasi is very nice and the main event of course is way overdue. still should be decent, but could have been disgustingly so…
what about the banana with the pedal push in the afterbirth costume sporting the placenta on his mushroom spear?
