I just got done rewatching it and overall, I am extremely imrpessed.

The quality of the show was fantastic. The fights, the venue, the announcing trio, the fans (for the most part) were superb. The only real blemish was the Cryborg-Akano fight. Clearly they wanted to build Cyborg up for the eventual Gina Carano fight, but the sheer lunancy of a fight going up ten pounds before hand was a little ridiculous. In the end though, it didn't take away from an extremely satisfying night of fights. 

True, the fights may not of been as meaningful as a UFC star studded affair, and maybe the fighters aren't all top-ten talent but that didn't take away from the entertainment factor.

Let me put it this way. If you had the choice of buying UFC 93 or 96 versus Strikeforce: Shamrock vs. Diaz, which would you choose?

I thought so.
