is it kinda weird that Strikeforce is allowing a lot of top talent to participate at this event, just imagine if a bunch of them get hurt

Forrest,any word on if King Mo is REALLY fighting on this card in July?That’d be a little close for comfort if he’s supposed to be fighting for Strikeforce in August.

You know that thing where Japanese promoters will announce that dudes are fighting, and just sort of hope that they catch wind of it and show up? Sorry guys, but my money says you’re going to get 2 of these guys tops, if any at all.
