I'm still going to be sceptical of Overeem actually getting into the Strikeforce cage until I see him in there though.
The poster looks good, but the card isn't that great though, really. I guess Overeem vs. Rogers could be a top 10 vs. top 10 kind of fight, depending on who you ask, but they could use another big fight to push it over the edge. Either big for the title picture in some division (2 of Thomson, Noons, and Shaolin going at it would be good...Jacare vs. Mayhem Miller would be great, but that might be a bigger fight in Japan), a pretty useless but big drawing fight (the rumoured Shamrock vs. Miletich thing?), or at least something for the hardcore fans to get excited about (Tyron Woodley making his debut in the big show?).
I just think this show needs something extra, because right now it doesn't look all that great.

I don't know, AO and AA both in tough fights sells the card already for myself. It's pretty big for a Showtime card, think they're saving their bigger names for the next CBS card (If there is another one)
Got floor seats, can't wait. Prices were even cheaper than the recent WEC show in Columbus, which really surprised me. I'll be interested to see what fills out the rest of the card.

You must take photos of the fights.
Understand and accept your obligation.
Thanks.
Overeem-Brett Hard one too call, Overeem has better striking and he gets those knees on brett its all over, but Brett is surprisingly fast for his size and hits HARD, I say whoever lands first.
Arlovski-Silva Im gonna go with arlovski via better striking and movements, Silva is just too slow and has just decent striking, his best bet is to take this to the ground, will he do it? Thats the question. He also has big power, all he needs is one but I dont see it.
Roger-Kevin Roger by sub, Its weird seeing Kevin in there he just looks so old! He streagths play right into roger's so thats his problem, he may want to keep it standing as funny as that sounds, but I think the sub is inevitable.

Everytime I see Arlovski with his tongue sticking out like it is in the poster I want to nail him with an uppercut and cut it off.
I'm looking forward to this card. I do however hope it's a bit better than the last SF card I was really looking forward to.
I've got:
Overeem.
Rogers was decent against Fedor, and he looked very trim and fit at the Strikeforce show. However, Overeem is a technical kickboxer, and Rogers wings big shots. I think Overeem will be prepared for a guy like Rogers.
Silva-
I'm banking on Silva having a good chin/gameplan here. If he doesn't stand and trade with Andre, I think he can take it by decision at least.
Randleman-
The dude's a crazy powerful wrestler. He's got tons of experience. He's facing a guy with 2 fights, one against Yuki Kondo and another vs. Ron Waterman.
I think it's very possible Randleman takes him down, nullifies the BJJ, and take another one of his decisions as well.
this will be an important card, after the CBS debacle they need a good perfomance on this card, i hope no matter of the results the fights goes well and score good in attendances and ratings

I hope so as well. I am thinking it should do pretty good as there are some serious sluggers on this card. I kind of wish CBS had shown this card rather than the last one.
Great poster but who the heck is in charge of spelling over there? You would have thought that after Gregard they would have done some quality control on this stuff. WAR ANTONIA!!! just doesn't cut it.
