Elite XC card better than UFC 72

Ok... With the exception of a coupel entertaining fights on the last UFC card, I gotta say this Strikeforce card is pretty damn good so far. Whether you hate or love BOTH of the head-liners you wana see Baroni vs. Shamrock no question about it.

I know there's a bunch of Murilo "Ninja" Rua fans on this forum, so I'm sure people are definetly intrigued by his bout with joey.

We've Also got Josh Thompson on the card who's always exciting

Cung Lee fight Fryklund (although it should be quick Tony always gets beat in an exciting way)

Paul buentello vs. Carter Williams, another exciting stand-up match

Duan Ludwig vs. Paul daley (nice throwdown match)

Also with familiar names on the under-card like Jason Von flue, and Mike pyle, this is the greatest card outside of UFC/PRIDE I've seen in a long time, and should be damn exciting. Guaranteed there pay-roll exceeds that of UFC's last 73, and because of it they've got some talent in here. Gona be interesting to see what happens. The more people get this PPV the more cards like this we will see from other organizations (I'm not downing UFC, it's just good to see another organization rise above to another level higher than KOTC).

It's certainly better than the Ireland card + you can watch the undercard online.

Elite XC has the much better card by far. I don't usually miss any UFC PPVs, but I had to pass on UFC 72. But, I garontee I will be watching Elite XC tonight. The fight is already ordered. Too bad Krazy Horse missed weigh-ins. He was my main motivation in paying out my money. However, the rest of the card looks very exciting even without my homey, Krazy Horse.

That's really not saying much. Almost anything is better than UFC 72.

I definitely think so. I didn't order UFC 72 and I am ordering Elite XC tonight.
