StrikeForce Fighters to UFC...My thoughts!

Whats going on MMA Fans! Its time for 1 of 2 blogs that I will be doing this week by your truely..."The MMA-Asshole" Kurt Johnson!! I watched the Strikeforce Finale PPV last night (Thank god..we doing have to see Scott Coker's Fat ass anymore..thinking he knows MMA.(Hell him and Joel Brock can have something in common), but anyways moving on!! The Strikeforce Card on a scale 1-10 was a 6 (at best). Couple good fights (including that Ryan Courture vs KJ Noons fight...That was AWESOME!!) I had a record of 7-2 (missing the main-event and the opening bout of the main card) I will say it right now, I will NEVER root for Nate Mardquart ever again!!! Enough of the PPV Card. Lets move on to the blog! After Saturday's PPV, the UFC was going to take several fighters and sign them to fight in the UFC!! Last night, that list was released on "UFC Tonight"! Out of the 20 fighters that are now a part of the UFC, I agree with about 70% of them! I have rated all of them base on record, opponents, what they will bring to the UFC, and where they will stand in their division. Let get into the top tiers guys. I dont think I have to wrote much about this first groups of guys called "Common Sense" (Rated 100-90). These guys include: Daniel Cormier (98..he got his wish matchup against Frank Mir in April), Gilbert Melendez (96..he will be fighting for the Lightweight Title vs. Ben Henderson at that same card in April), Luke Rockhold (94), Ronaldo Souza (93), Gegard Mousasi (92), and Lorenz Larkin (90). I know alot of people would put Strikeforce Welterweight Champion Tarec Saffiendine in this group as well, but I will explain that later!! The Second group is entitled "Good Addition & Talented" (Rated 89-80). These fighters are Tim Kennedy (87), Josh Thomson (84), Roger Gracie (82), and Ryan Couture (80). All I say is Roger Gracie and Ryan Couture speak for themselves. MMA is in their blood as well as Ryan and Dad (UFC Hall of Famer, Randy Couture)is the first father-son combination in UFC history. The Third group is entitled "Need to Impress (Rated 79-70) I know most of you reading this will have "Kind" words to tell me about this group (I can smell it!) This group includes: Tarec Saffiendine (79), Nate Marquart (77), Roger Bowling (75), Pat Healy (74), and KJ Noons (71). First name on the list is...Tarec Saffiendine!! I know he is a champion and with all due respect to him...HE IS A PAPER-CHAMPION!! Let me educate yall..Tyrone "T-Wood" Woodley beat Tarec to get a shot at the now-than vacent Welterweight Title against Nate Marquart. Nate handled Woodley to win the belt (Still with me??) Now, Tarec get a title after beating the likes of Scott Smith (past his prime), Tyler Stinson (NEXT), and went to a decision with a guy in Roger Bowling that he should have destroyed!! My FIRST BOLD STATEMENT on my BLOG right here...TAREC IS OVER-HYPE!! There are a ton of guys in the welterwight division that will take him to school. Tarec is going have to prove something for me to start becoming a believer. Until that happen, I think his is OV-ER-RAT-ED!! The Final group is entitled "Pinkslip NOW" (rated 69 and below). These fighters include: Jason High (69), Adriano Martins (65), Gian Villante (64), Bobby Voelker (62), and Kurt Holobaugh (60). I know these fighters are part of the UFC now, but I dont see any of them seeing a UFC ring in 2014!! My suggestion to these guys right now is have Legacy FC and World Series of Fighting on speed-dial because you will need there number!! If these fighters on this list is reading this and need contact information, I might have contacts for you!! Let me know what you think MMA fans!! I will be back later this week (Maybe tomorrow) with my main-card predictions on Bellator 85 and UFC on FX 7. Its going to be a great month of MMA action for all MMA fans!! Until the next blog..."Be an Asshole about something" - "The MMA Asshole"
