Here’s what Herb had to say about the decision:

After reading Josh Gross, I’m going to step back. It does look like the knee hit the arm. And even if it did connect with the head eventually, it did hit the arm first.

I saw it on regular definition TV and couldn’t tell.

Hey,

1. I don’t think the event was necessarily poor, but the way the show ended definitely left a bad taste in my mouth.

2. We don’t know where the knee hit. Why would a doctor say that his jaw was really hurt if it wasn’t hurt? You can’t make that absolute of a statement to say only those who think Aina was hurt was on the payroll. It’s an opinion, just like your opinion that the knee hit the arm. Unless we had 4 or 5 angles, I’m not sure we can make that call.

3. I loved Evangelista’s style. He looks like he’s going to be a player. He’s quick, creative, and exciting. I can’t wait to see him fight again.

1. The Event was piss poor.
2. Mike Aina is a sly, manipulating pigshit of a man.
The knee hit his fuckin arm, only someone who’s been payed by strikeforce to write a review would claim otherwise… Now, Evangelista has a blemish on his record, and even after showing REPLAY AFTER REPLAY, no one would speak up! pathetic. A similar incident happened in UFC, but the commentator OUTED the sucker out.
3. The only fighter who showed “great” potential was Billy Evangelista. Great footwork, was loving his ‘foot palm to the knee’ technique (loved it when A. Silva did it against Leites)
He also has good timing & coordination.
