Andrei Arlovski vs. Antonio Silva
Ronaldo "Souza" Jacare vs. Joey Villasenor

****** DeMoney vs. Jesse Finney
Lee Brousseau vs. Fransisco "Kiko" France
Mike Chandler vs. Sal Woods
Pat Benson vs. Erik Steenberg
Tom Aaron vs. Matt Ricehouse
Darryl Cobb vs. Booker DeRousse

Not a bad card. Mildly interesting to see what Randleman has left.. (sure its not much). And my moneys on Silva to KO AA.

Some good BJJ guys on show that night, Jacare, Roger and Shaloin FTW.

Randelmans stand up must be better than Rogers just now. What are the odds he sprawl and brawls? I think he will double leg Roger in about 10 seconds

Who you got for the title?

[scurlaruntings]

Randlemans knees are shot to bits. Id be surprised if he could even shoot let alone sprawl.
And im going with Rogers by KO. As soon as Overeem tastes Rogers power he's going to be in trouble. That said its just a hunch. Genuine 50/50 fight though as both guys can crack although Overeem is the more accomplished and polished striker. I just dont think he can has a heavyweight chin as he certainly didnt have a light heavyweight chin.

[196osh]

Gracie is not known for an explosive shot, hell he couldnt take down a one armed (roger broke it) Jacare a while back in the mundials. Im sure Randleman could sprawl enough to stop that...

I agree about the Overeem fight. Is it not a bit odd to put a guy in with him that could light him up badly, that has just been destroyed by Fedor? Seems a really weird descion.

What if Rogers wins? Who wants to see a rematch with Fedor?

[jimmie]

This is a great card.

[scurlaruntings]

Its not like Strikeforce have a choice. Rogers is probably the best contender and seeing as Overeem hasnt defended the title in 2 years to me its a no brainer. Although i dont want to see Rogers Fedor again. Either way i doubt Fedor actually cares. To be frank he doesnt even need their title although it would certainly look nice on his resume to hold the WAMMA PRIDE and Strikeforce titles. Is WAMMA even still around and sanctioning fights?

I think they probablly wanted Overeem and Fedor but with Fedor's management and the fact Overeem never wanted to come back it seemed didnt make things easy. I thought the plan was for Rogers-Overeem as a non title fight but Rogers is a very powerful and could very well win this fight so I guess they didnt wanna take the high risk of Rogers winning a non title fight vs the Champion and setting them back. Id like a Rogers-Fedor rematch sure Fedor knocked him cold but Rogers was probablly more competitive then anyone since Cro Cop.

Matter of fact the fight id love to see would be Carwin vs Rogers. You know for a fact betting against a KO would be madness. Those two have dynamite in either hand.

Looks like Fedor Rogers was sanctioned for the WAMMA title. How do those guys make any money?!?!?!:think

[achillesthegreat]

Quality card. Two top great fights. Okay fight with Jacare and an up and comer in R.Gracie. Decent stuff.

[Sloth]

There must be something up with Fedor's contract. If not, why isn't he facing overeem? I don't understand.:huh

[scurlaruntings]

Ok this card just got even better. Kid Yamamoto has been added to it.

I thought the Cung Le/Scott Smith rematch was going to be on this card too.
