No idea what's gonna happen here. Babalu has the ground edge but Mousasi still has skills, then it's the opposite for the standup. We'll see how Mousasi does against a bigger weight class, but he did look good against Hunt. Mousasi late round TKO, then Tito walks in front of the post fight interview to get back at him

This is actually one of the fights I really wanted to see for Affliction so im glad it got added to sf.

Mousasi stoppage by strikes.

 

[f31roger]

hard to call. Babalu is a fav... so maybe I'm putting my bias up. I cant deny Mousasi.. he comes with it.

 

[drunkaholic707]

yeeee im goin to this fight just got tickets im gonna have a gina sign

 

[B-Buzz]

I want Mousasi to win but Babalu being +195 is ridiculous. Might throw some money on him and Ishida +175

 

[Shogun Locc]

^^^^I don't know I think Gilbert will take the win this time cuz he wants to fight josh real bad

 

[B-Buzz]

Ya that's a tough fight, one thing I still like about this card is that most of the fights are pretty hard to call. But Ishida was +220 earlier in the week so I feel like people know something that I don't lol. I might do Gina at +145 instead and hope she has a great gameplan.

Babalu's prediction



I haven't been this excited for a fight in awhile. Hope it doesn't disappoint.

 

[Shogun Locc]

Gegard was very calm in this fight and showed pure skill. That was a very impressive win.

 

[B-Buzz]

lol it's weird, Mousasi hasn't really shown much in his last 5 fights but he won all of them pretty decisively. He almost gets kimurad by Kang and then triangles him in a transition, then he triangles Manhoef, then he upkicks Jacare, then he kimuras Hunt, and now he pounds Babalu's face in without much effort. And all of those were in the first couple minutes of the fight. I'd like to see Strikeforce bring in King Mo because I can't think of anyone else to challenge for the belt with Feijao losing to Kyle.

 

[f31roger]

Wow... I expected a good fight.. I also expected to see babalu looking like a murderer again.. but that didnt go.

Here is the payouts for strike force. I was fucking amazed that Gegard Mousasi made $2000 for the KO of Sobral.

Gina Carano became the first female competitor to bank six figures on a disclosed U.S. card, according to figures released by the California State Athletic Commission Tuesday.

“The face of women’s MMA” earned $125,000 in her first-round technical knockout loss to Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos last Saturday at Strikeforce in San Jose, Calif. Santos, who was crowned Strikeforce’s women’s lightweight (145 pounds) champion, earned $25,000, which included a $5,000 win bonus.

The event, which drew 13,976 spectators and a $735,710 gate at the HP Pavilion, marked the first time a women’s bout headlined a major event in the U.S.

Newly minted light heavyweight champion Gegard Mousasi wasn’t as prosperous in his U.S. debut. The 24-year-old Armenian made an uncustomary $2,000 in his swift first-round victory over Renato "Babalu" Sobral, according to the CSAC figures. Sobral earned $75,000 for the loss.
