He looks beat up, but he looks far from beaten. I still see determination in his eyes. No doubt, just determination. Damn I wonder what that 3rd round would've looked like.

Caposa, seriously, thank you. This was a wonderful thread. Sometimes you get 5-7 solid topics a week on here. This thread however, stands above the normal awesome thread. It brought out emotion, nostalgia. The comments and pictures and shared memories really remind us that SF was something special. I'm getting sad it's over, but excited for the finale. SF final show will do it big. It must, it's the only way.

Voted up again Caposa, and if this thread is up in another 24hrs, voted up again.

When I think of Strikeforce I think of:

-Gilbert Melendez making a name for himself, losing the title, and then finally getting his revenge in one of the best fights of 2009

-Cung Le's path of destruction and then proving the doubters wrong against Frank Shamrock

-As previously mentioned, Frank Shamrock carrying the promotion on his back at times. Acting as a commentator, co-creator, and most importantly, fighter.

-When they acquired Elite XC's assets and became the most viable #2 promotion in MMA we had seen in a long time.

-Nick Diaz continuing his run and reasserting himself as one of the most exciting fighters in MMA

-The Brawl in Nashville

-Signing Fedor. Fedor/Rogers on CBS. The Werdum fight. Bigfoot. Hendo. Amazing fights

-The beginning of the Heavyweight GP and the buzz surrounding it. I attended the opening round in NJ in person and it was insane.

-The emergence of Ronda Rousey

-So many great fights and finishes

Gonna be a sad day, but the fighters deserve this move to the UFC. SF has always delivered and I'm expecting nothing different come Saturday night.
Well said. VTFU!

Yeah that's a great summary.

I will remember it as an excellent promotion that provided some of the best moments in mma of the last 4-5 years.

I'll miss SF dearly. Phone Post

As tough as it is, I try to distinguish pre-Zuffa Strikeforce from the last year or so. Strikeforce provided some really great fights and memorable moments. What I always liked best was how different it felt from the UFC. The events moved quickly, fighters seemed really aggressive, and many fights had a real sense of recklessness. Yes part of that was due to mismatching, and at times it felt like the production was almost amateurish, but it was kind of refreshing in contrast to the tightly run juggernaut that is the UFC.

My favorite memory was probably Fedor knocking out Rogers. On the other side of that, I remember how bummed I was and the level of emotion here on the UG when Fedor was beaten by Bigfoot. It's time to end Strikeforce, but I'll miss it somewhat. Phone Post
