I'm extremely upset with the results of the last Strikeforce card. The fights were all good for the most part, but all my fighters lost. I figured Aoki would, but I was shocked that Mousasi was dominated like he was. He was landing good strikes and some from guard that were actually fairly damaging, but if he had a gameplan to let Mo wear himself out... It wore out Mousasi.
Also it was really shocking to hear pre-fight that he wasn't training wrestling with anyone special. He expected to go to the ground, which is fine, but the fact that he's not training with someone relevant or world class for someone like Mo was really silly. I imagine he's learned from his mistake.
Aoki should have thrown more strikes. His world is from the guard and the worst thing he's looking at throwing knees and kicks is getting taken down. Towards the later rounds he should have went for broke and risked getting KO'd/Sub'd. He just took a huge beating the entire fight. When he did throw kicks, and a few punches... He landed. He should have thrown more.
As for Hendo... Bleh. The Mousasi and Hendo results were spoiled by my friend texting me that Mo won before I watched the fights ( I DVR'd it ) and then my DVR messed up and put me at the end of the fights which showed Shields winning.
Terrible night. One last thing, though. Is that I'm shocked at how many MMA " fans " are crying about watching 3 decisions. Sorry guys, it happens. The fights were still entertaining.
