Opinion: Next-Day Thoughts: Strikeforce: Shields vs. Lawler

07 Jun 2009 07:52:11 PDT

Written by Brent Brookhouse
I never understood why Strikeforce would have Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante on the undercard. The assumption was that they wanted him to fight Sobral for the 205 title and having him fight off of TV didn't make a lot of sense for a promotion that needs to build stars. However, all reports poin...

Opinion: Why was “Strikeforce at the Dome” so bad?

25 Feb 2008 22:24:15 PST

Written by Sam Cupitt
It is not often you get an MMA event without any real highlights but ‘Strikeforce at the Dome’ fitted that bill. The show is probably even more of a let down considering we have treated to action packed events such as EliteXC: Street Certified, WEC 32 and UFC 81 already this month.
