    Why is it not showing on Bravo!!! Is it on TV?? Can anyone confirm this???

    Anyway whats peoples thoughts on the fights, I think Jacare will choke out Smoking Joe within minutes..

    The Heavyweight fights are interesting, Bigfoot is better than Arlovski on the ground but worse on the feet but Arlovski's chin means he is never a safe bet to win even on the feet. I like both fighters so Ill be sad to see one loose and their career take a turn for the worse. Ive a feeling AA will win this one, Bogfoot is on pretty poor form, his performance against Werdum really shocked me, he just seemed his head wasnt in the fight after the 1st round. Im going for AA to win UD.

    Overeem vs Rogers will be amazing, Rogers diserves to be a top 10 guy, I think he is a good heavy and has a size advantage over nearly any heavy but I cant see him making it out of the 1st round. I think a Guillotine or a Knee will end this one earlt on

    I think it is 9 or 10pm.

    I agree entirely with your picks.

    Rooting for Rogers and bigfoot though.

    I find the production of Strikeforce pretty poor tbh (although 2hrs means less filler). No HD, and the 'fight professor' seems to have a few screws loose these days!

    I have to go with Overeem to finish Rogers.

    But the best defence against Overeem is offence, so we could be in for a great fight!

    I think Overeem will beat Rogers unfortuantley but Rogers has enough power to KO Overoid with just one punch.

    Im going with Arvloski to beat Big foot, I really like AA and I hope he is back to his best.

    You know on paper Nashville was a great card, sometimes it just doesn't go that way. Same with UFC 112.

    Heavy attilery should be a great card though, really looking forward to it.

    great card in terms of having top fighters on it.

    but Heavy Artillery has exciting matchups.

    The only way Melendez, Shields and Mo could win was by employing a not-so-exciting strategy and they all did.

    Melendez and Mo could have KOed there opponents and Shields could have got a sub but that would be a bit of a stretch.

    But still HA has the better matchups.

    Overoid vs Rogers is guaranteed to be fireworks, A KO has to happen in this one.

    AA vs Silva should be a nice back and forth battle.

    Hope to see some subs with Jacare and Gracie, maybe Shaolin as well, if he doesn't get sparked.

    And Britt should provide the fireworks against Cavalcante.
