Those pics are dope.........

Are all 4 fighters at the same house, or at separate houses

Not sure if this was already posted, but Gilbert is supposed to be out of the Strikeforce fight with Pat Healy in January.

Mike Kyle vs Gegard Mousassi is scheduled again, assuming one of them doesn't pull out.

On Sherdog I saw that Tyron Woodley vs. Robbie Lawler could be happening, not sure how that developed if true.

Chael going for that single leg on the turkey... obviously

 

[Lord Beasley]

I'm guessing they were at the TUF house and this thanksgiving footage will be shown on the upcoming season....hopefully this is the case.


Don't tell me these dudes are really besties

 

[The ADD]

I give them a pass on Thanksgiving of all days

Booking chael to fight against a champion in a heavier weightclass after just losing to the champ in his own weightclass (for the 2nd time) just because he talked enough shyt is wwe..And where the hell have you been living, dont be naive to how the fighting biz works.Especially in MMA perception is reality, not every fight needs it but best believe the fans buying into some sort of hatred boosts buys

Especially in a fight like this that looks like a mismatch on paper how else are u going to sell it if not on hatred

 

[jackswstd]

Jones vs Sonnen is more than a mismatch on paper IMO. Unless Bones comes in lookin like this

Chael has no chance.

 

[T.H.E.GOD]

any link to the fight tonight? damn i'm starving being outta town for thanksgiving and my little nephews watching cailou right now.. WTF!!!

Last thing they need if they're really wanting to sell this fight as "legitimate" is to have these two both look like and actually BE on friendly terms.



They need it to look at least look like they hate each other because this literally is one of the worst matchups possible for Chael on paper.

I do not want to see GSP vs Silva

black excellence will kill him

I would rather see Bones vs Silva

&

Benson (if he beats Diaz) vs GSP

(in terms of super-fights)

 

[Basher Tarr]

 

[FaTaL]

chael really hasnt run his mouth yet against bones, maybe he even knows he has no chance

 

[bsmooth]

Luke Rockhold out of the main event against Lorenzo Larkin for the final Strikeforce show

Melendez/Healy
Cormier/Mir
Rockhold/Larkin
Marquardt/Saffedine

Original show was looking , would have been a nice sendoff

Dana probably telling dudes to sabotage these Strikeforce events

 

[TheNatureBoy]

^^ All these champs waiting to get a fight in the UFC, getting injured again all of a sudden

I just hope this card goes down, I guess the WW fight can be the main event and they still have the Cormier fight.
