I guess there is no HW talent left in SF. This will probably end up being the final event for Strikeforce. Then Cormier can come to the UFC and start fighting some legit HW's.

TBF Barnett is a legit HW.

cormier already kicked his ass. but there's enough decent HWs in the ufc that both barnett and cormier should have decent fights at this show.

Barnett broke his hand and not being the best striker there was nothing he could do.

In reply to BArnett posts;

He signed a multi-fight deal with Pancraese or however it's spelled. He'll be traveling the world fighting cans for the rest of his foreseeable future.

edit; and now that I think about it, he would've been a great Carwin replacement over Mitrione.

Thiago Silva has been suspended six months after testing positive for marijuana metabolites following his fight against Stanislav Nedkov earlier this month.

The Brazilian was suspended for one year following a win over Brandon Vera in January 2011 for submitting a fake urine sample to the Nevada State Athletic Commission. The win was later changed to a no-contest.

pot and roids, totally equal

they couldnt have found a better dude for boetch?

[NickDoh]

Guess Barnett actually had a fight left on his SF contract, got added to the (hopefully)last SF card. WHich this card is starting to look insanely awesome top to bottom. Even with all the "champs" getting "injured".
