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.

Still the camerawork was shoddy. They need to fix that!

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.
