Strikeforce Tourney starts with a BANG!

I was looking forward to this SF tournament with great anticipation and a bit of concern. I loved the multi-night format and the depth of the field but was worried that a tourney full of heavyweights could go horribly wrong and deteriorate into cage full of big boys wallowing and grinding on each other far too much for my liking.

Five fights with at least 2 having direct bearing on the tourney and 0 of them went to the judges. That's a very good night in my book!

And did I say that it didn't cost me $54.95...sweet!

Random thoughts:

Who knew Chad Griggs was this good?...except maybe Bobby Lashley. Is he an elite fighter?...too soon to say. A head buster with heart?..no doubt.
Delrosario...that dude can fight!
Andre Arlovski...Dude, please do the right thing.
Kharitonov...where the hell has this guy been hiding? Siberia?
Big foot Silva...You made American Top Team, all of Brasil and your family very, very proud. There's nothing more that I can add.
Fedor...regardless of your future vocational decisions you are an MMA immortal.
Please tell me that Scott Coker is not serious when he is trying to talk up a possible Fedor return as an alternate. This is a perfect example of why fans hate promoters. Fans see MMA as a sport but promoters see it as $$$.
Gina Carano meet Amanda Nunes...Amanda Nunes please meet Gina Carano. If you don't know the young Brazilian striker just ask Julia Budd or imagine the skill set of a younger Cris Cyborg and then go to google or youtube. That girl can crack!
