Brandon Garner from Team ROC will be cornering Mr. Kennedy tonight. Unless I miss my guess, I think Tim is going home with a championship.
Dude, it's a Strikeforce show
You’ll probably want one of these..
Maybe even another one if you don’t kick the hoe on the right to the curb..

Galvao had Macaco’s back, he was trying to escape on a regular basis but couldn’t shake him. Galvao was landing pitter patter punches here and there, and the ref stopped it. Weakest stoppage I’ve ever seen.

Remember
When I said last weekend that I had free Showtime for a few days? That’s what I thought, as my cable company has offered that kind of stuff before.
Well, I’ve never stopped having Showtime since then.
I don’t know what the deal is, but I won’t tell that they’ve made a mistake, and as long as they don’t find out and it’s no extra charge on the cable bill… anyway, I get to enjoy tonight’s show in crystal-clear high definition, and that makes me pretty happy.
How bad do you have to suck

There's not a whole lot of point in betting casually
if the return is 20-30%
This way, even if you’re a Mo fan, you can be happy about the outcome.
