"I'm tired of clicking onto websites and seeing the first thing is UFC, UFC, UFC, and I would like to see something that says Strikeforce and something positive about our fighters. Cause I'm getting sick and tired of that.

When was the last time you seen a UFC fight card put together like this?. When was the last time you saw UFC fighters lay it on the line like we did tonight, and when was the last time you seen a main event like you did tonight? I haven't seen one of those in a while from the UFC. So, I think we delivered."

comparing UFC to Strikeforce is a joke. UFC's skill level is far superior to strikeforce's. having brawling type fights doesn't constitute skill. I would rather see 2 highly skilled fighters engage in a less entertaining but technical and smart fight rather than an all out brawl with very little skill or technique. the latter is a general example of strikeforce fights even though there are a couple of really good fighters in that organization.

UFC's past few events have been outshined by the Strikeforce events. Their talent pool isn't as deep, but they are delivering for fans better....and without PPV.

I agree with this. It doesn't matter how deep your talent pool is, if your fights are crap.

Strikeforce + WEC 45 was the best night of fights this year, bar none. Every fight was great.

Care to name one of those nonskilled brawling fights? I can't recall.
