I'm surprised there wasn't a thread on this... it was a big event for Strikeforce and thought it would even be more popular now with Zuffa ownership.
Here was the main card results:
Man I thought, and hoped, Daley was going to knock out that stupid Nick Diaz. I know he was known for his chin and standing with anyone, but I didn't think he could handle the bombs from Daley, but he pretty much did! Especially after the Daley vs Kampmann fight, where Kampmann is a good boxer with a great chin and he stood in front of Daley but got rocked. I know it got stopped with Kampmann on his feet but he was pretty rocked.
I think even if Daley made it those few more seconds, he would have gotten stopped in the 2nd.
I figured Melendez would win pretty decisively so no surprise there. I knew Aoki would probably submit him but I didn't think he'd do it so easily. As for Jardine-Mousasi, well I didn't give Jardine much of a chance at all. But during the 2nd round, where Mousasi was clearly winning, and I expected the same in the 3rd, I thought this very well could go to a decision. You could say Jardine won the 1st due to takedowns (even though he didn't do ANYTHING with them) and with the 1 point deduction, that's 28-28! Mousasi/his corner should have pushed him before the 3rd to end it.
