    Good promo. I'd like to see Strikeforce growing a lot now that it's in Zuffa's hands.

    I'm glad to see that StrikeForce is still hanging on despite losing half their stable of current champions to the UFC. Gilbert is still around to represent what being a Strikeforce champion is all about. I'd like to see StrikeForce grow as well; but if history proves one thing about the UFC, it doesn't usually keep the acquisitions running very long before the assimalation is complete and the purchase is dissolved into the UFC.

    SF is dying a slow death. You hear about all these upcoming UFC cards & not much future SF events. I think Zuffa should've built up SF & then had champion vs champion events later on down the line.

    I'm still very hyped to see this match up.
