Between this card and the Challengers card the week after, Strikeforce could have three solid main cards rather than just two!
They are putting all there chips into this event, with such a weak challengers card earlier with High vs Mulhurn on under card!? I am confused as they could of used some of these prelims on that event to have two solid fight cards. This event is so stacked a fight like Cavalcante vs Wilcox could of been a headline for challengers and no one would notice. Hope HD net airs some prelims like they have before so can watch these fights.
I’m seriously considering going to this one. Worth it imo, also check out the seats on ticketmaster, great seats are cheap and available!!!
I will let everyone know
Worry no more people… Strikeforce will air all five preliminary bouts live on HDNet!
Hey Bobby, if you’re serious about going, I could probably get you a VIP pass. I have both Valentijn and Jeff Monson on the card.
But we would have to actually hang out. And you’d have to buy me a beer and a pretzel. And maybe hold hands inbetween bouts.
UPDATE: Amanda Nunes withdraws due to injury.
UPDATE: Gina Carano’s medical clearance revoked and she’s unable to fight.
Those two fights are on the undercard because its on HD Net.
