I thought it was very good production value, with the highlights, interviews, background recapping, etc...
Now Strikeforce just has to become ACCESIBLE TO THE GENERAL-ASS PUBLIC and they'll go sky-high, in my opinion.
Thoughts?
No one?
Strikeforce sucks....they just buried their biggest star...lol...when matt lindland becomes champ and beats up all their marketable fighters they'll really rock ticket sales
The production was the weakest point of the show.

You serious? What did you find so bad about it?
It's Showtime production. Strikeforce has nothing to do with it.
The production SUCKED for not showing any undercard fights. Especially after 3 of 4 fights ended in the first.
It's Elite XC Version 2.0 all you facking UFC haters.
Still Sucks Ass, but better fighter talent.
I think the production is very good aside from Frank Shamrock's "keys to victory." However, you will never win that argument on this forum where everything that is not the UFC sucks.
agree. you can either look at the production values as either good, or pride-like.
either way, to me they are just plain good.
pacing was horrible, imo
There was nothing wrong w/the production value.

The commentary was terrible.
The skinless stuff was weird. Also it was pointless and ignorant. Really, the key to this match is going to be a Muay Thai elbow from the clinch? Just can the whole segment.
The pacing was off.
They had 40+ minutes of airtime to show prelims like JT Money's fight and didn't.
The ramp was terrible. If you are going to do a ramp, you need to DO IT, Pride style. Instead they throw together a walkway and some sparklers. It looked cheap and it would have been better to just have a UFC-style intro.

I was 3rd row, the energy of the show was amazing. Place was packed, can't believe the range of people in attendance, everyone from Chuck Zito, to Kevin Randalman, to Hershel Walker! Great production, great fights, great night imo!
ATLien420 - pacing was horrible, imo
I don't think they expected so many first round finishes...
great show
Finished 40 minutes early with no undercard to swing to
Mauro and that other guy are HORRIBLE and can't dress themselves
Keys to Victory was awesomely bad
Throwing it to the chick in the dressing room only to realize Gina "was still with the doctors"
Interviewing the main card fighters withing an hour of the fight? Weird. They should be getting ready
Overkill Fire and Explosions nearly scaring Babalu back to Brazil
Educational 3D Body models looked cheesy
Jimmy Lennon and company make this way too "boxing"
It's like they treat as a cross between boxing and football for coverage. Hate that traditional sports crap.
UFC= no fancy entrances, Rogan is more like a regular dude/educated fan, and they just pack every minute with fights from start to finish. No pregame crap, no interviews just fights. LOVE it.
Agree fully with you Hellojapan
Waow, lurker much Kick Down? You may have the record now sir!
The Keys to Victory bullshit is embarrassing.....
