Vote and post your spoiler free rating for Strikeforce Challengers: Feb 26 2010

Fights were okay, if occasionally not that competitive. Promotionally, though, I thought this was really poor for a Strikeforce event - lack of knowledge on the rules, renaming of the women's weight divisions, commentators complaining about the lack of fireworks/knockouts/risk-taking, patchy matchmaking, dry ice from the smoke machines so much that it was in the cage for a while during a couple of early fights, and loads of blatant advertising for Showtime during commentary and introductions.

Worth a download and a watch, but not a classic event for sure.

I enjoyed the even even though it felt a little long and dragged out for a "challenger" event. Surprisingly the camerwork was better then their last big event, but Im no expert on that so..

I enjoyed some of the fights a lot and I defenitely think that you should watch the event, if not for anything else to see what fighters look like future contenders.

I went with a 3. In reality, it could have been a 2 or 4 easily. The refs on this card were astoundingly bad. Almost insultingly bad. The fights weren't nearly as good as the last Challengers card, but I'm a mark for title fights, so Kaufman-Hashi entertained me. If we're going spoiler-free, two fighters in particular really impressed me and shouldn't be on Challenger cards anymore.

I would have given last Challengers a 4, so this one is a comfortable 3.
