this was a cracker show, there is a lot to like about this organisation.
Yea I have to agree, I thought all round this was a great show and one of the most entertaining MMA shows I have seen in a very long time.
The production was very professional with that showtime touch of a genuine class. Fights were quick, commentators, as bad as Goldberg is, at least they seemed to be MMA commentators who talked about the sport as a whole, unlike the "UFC boys club" the UFC has.
As they said, there is a definite UFC alternative now, with Showtime money and exposure with more showtime non-PPV shows, everything is in place now, they just need to get their fighter roster going.
Le is as fun to watch as anyone, even tho he was a class above. Rua-Villasenor was a great fight as was the main.
Dont know if I like having Strikeforce and Elite EC titles, just dilutes and confuses things. I think Elite, Strikeforce and K-1 need to all agree to a standard name and belts, and continue with what they are doing. Signing Sokoudjou was a great move, he is probably the most exciting light heavy in the world, and that is saying something.
Definitely impressed and was highly enjoyable. Download it if you can.
