I'm not going to this show because frankly, I hate Strikeforce. I hate how they book, I hate how they promote and I hate how they have no ability to go with a relative unknown beating one of their golden boys. Anyways, here's the card that we know of:
Light Heavyweight Title Fight: Rafael Cavalcante (c) vs. Dan Henderson Women's Welterweight Title Fight: Marloes Coenen (c) vs. Meisha Tate Middleweight Fight: Tim Kennedy vs. Melvin Manhoef Lightweight Fight: Billy Evangelista vs. Jorge Masvidal
I'm skipping the undercard because Strikeforce fills their undercards with local nobodies.

The ticket prices are decent and you can still get lower bowl seats. I went to WEC last year and had a blast. Just not feeling the Strikeforce card.

Here is the poster. I would love to go to a live MMA event, but so far price and distance have prevented it.

My wife doesn't like MMA and had a blast at WEC. The main issues are how long you sit there and you have to contend with the cameramen around the ring.
Note, the show went from like 8-1 that we went to.

Strikeforce 33 should be a pretty good card, with the 2 title fights and the next 2 matches in the Heavyweight Grand Prix tournament.

That card bugs me. I hate the fact that they're doing that card in Japan just to avoid drug testing for Barnett.

Strikeforce didn't even come close to outdrawing WEC last year. They pulled 7100 while WEC pulled in 8300 the year before. Ouch for SF.

Ended up not going because I had no way to Columbus. Glad Hendo won, show overall sounded bad.

Yeah, it sounded brutal to sit through. I'm glad I didn't break down and buy a ticket.

Didn't see the card. Showtime OnDemand tends to carry the replays.
