This weekend is stuffed to the gill with decent fights. So many, in fact, that it’s going to be difficult to rank all of them.

So, in the spirit of picking the best fights, Strikeforce challengers has been eliminated.

Strikeforce challengers has never had the most competitive matchups, and there are plenty of other interesting options.

With that said, let’s get to the breakdown:

One star = Only use this as an aide to cure insomnia. Or a method of torture.

Two stars = Drink enough alcohol and this fight might entertain you.

Three stars = Decent fight. Just like most matinee movies, you won’t remember it three hours after it happened, but you’ll enjoy yourself while you’re watching it.

Four stars = A good fight. Something that will keep you on your toes every once in a while, and you’ll have a smile on your face the next morning as you remember it.

Five stars = Are you glad you saw this fight? It had a little bit of everything, and it will get you through Monday at work when you wonder why you need your paycheck. It might even be something you brag about watching.

Six stars = They don’t get much better than this. Your voice is a little hoarse from all the yelling, but it was worth it. It’ll be hard getting to sleep, and by tomorrow you will have read every scrap of post-fight news you can find on the web.

Seven stars = They don’t get any better than this! Ever! Forget sleep, as you won’t be getting much—if you get any at all. You will be refreshing news pages for new articles and breaking information and, by Friday, your voice still won’t sound normal.

Now that that is done, let’s get started!
