legkick - Amen, you said it right. When Schwartz and Bottone get in that ring, those fans will be in their seats. Speaking of boring fights on these shows, a couple of the most boring Strikeforce fights I can remember weren't FC. One featured a well known MMA fighter taking on a well established local fighter under MT rules. The fight was so one sided in favor of the MMA fighter it was boring. The other was the main event of the evening and featured a local World Champion from the Bay Area in a MT rules fight. Neither fighter wanted to mix it up and it was very boring, very little action at all. The fans were booing pretty much the whole fight. I had never seen these fans boo like this ever, and it was a big name local fighter they were jeering. There were several FC fights that night and none drew the negative crowd reaction that this fight did. And I'm not biased towards FC either. I like the International rules fights the best. The fighters make the fight not the style or rules.

Lightining Mike - Well said - I second that.
