Sucks that the body issue is still covering up the goods lol.

Also that is an oddly placed Olympic tattoo.

So Rockhold talks a bunch of shit on Silva for the short grabbing/(perfectly legal) knee and then he fails to make weight. What a fucking amateur. Talk shit about a guy's professionalism then miss weight as a champion defending his belt.

I am SO happy that Nate KOed Woodley. Fucking phenomenal KO. Little left elbow that raises Woodley's head, right elbow, big right elbow, BIG left uppercut that KOs Woodley and as he is falling with his back against the cage GIANT right uppercut.

Kennedy is so fucking predictable.

Nate the Great looked pretty great tonight I must say...and I really like Rockhold he is getting better and better.

Nick · **Posted:** July, 15, 2012 - 12:59am

Rockhold is looking better but I still don't know if he can hang with the UFC guys. I'd like to see him fight Roger Gracie next I think.

Yeah I eventually would love to see him against Sonnen.

Now Strikeforce cancels an event.

from mmajunkie.com

Quote:

The circumstances are slightly different, but fans no doubt will be wondering if this really can be happening again.

Just a month after the UFC was forced to cancel a card for the first time in the Zuffa era, now the cancellation bug has bitten Strikeforce. The promotion's Saturday show in Sacramento, Calif., "Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Healy," has been scrapped following an injury to lightweight champion and headliner Gilbert Melendez.

Promotion officials late Sunday night announced the event's cancellation.

"Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Healy" was scheduled for Saturday at Power Balance Pavillion in Sacramento. The event was to air live on Showtime and Showtime Extreme. In the main event, Melendez (21-2 MMA, 11-1 SF) was to meet Pat Healy (28-16 MMA, 6-1 SF), putting his lightweight belt on the line.

Strikeforce officials in a statement said the decision to cancel the event was made when Showtime decided to not air the card without Melendez on it.

"When Showtime informed us that it would not be airing the event, we made the difficult decision to cancel Saturday's card in Sacramento," Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker stated. "Without a television partner, we simply could not move forward with this event. We wish Gilbert a speedy recovery and will work diligently and quickly to reschedule the fighters affected by this news on upcoming cards."

The UFC this past month elected to cancel the UFC 151 pay-per-view scheduled for Sept. 1 in Las Vegas when Dan Henderson pulled out of his light heavyweight title fight against Jon Jones and Jones didn't accept a fight against Chael Sonnen.

Also on the main card, former champ Josh Thomson was set to meet Caros Fodor, Jorge Santiago was to face Quinn Mulhern and Isaac Vallie-Flagg was booked to fight Adriano Martins.

That leaves Strikeforce's next show now on Nov. 3 in Oklahoma City – though that event also is awaiting a new main event after Frank Mir had to pull out of a heavyweight bout against Daniel Cormier.

It sounds like it was Showtime that pulled the plug, not Zuffa.

Johnny Manf · **Posted:** September, 24, 2012 - 3:57pm

I wish Strikeforce would just totally disband and throw UFC some of their fighters.
If I didn't start watching their events and getting into some of the guys then I would just ignore the events all together. But they still have a few decent fighters to follow.

Nick · **Posted:** September, 24, 2012 - 4:32pm

I know but it sounds like Showtime has started to prevent them from moving fighters to the UFC.

Nick · **Posted:** October, 13, 2012 - 2:19pm

So Strikeforce has now officially had 2 events in a row cancelled and will not be holding another event until 2013.

Glad Strikeforce is finally over. I don't watch any other MMA organizations so now its just UFC for me.
Don't feel like getting into Bellator when I'll end up just wanting the best guys to fight UFC guys. So F it.

Nate Marquardt
Daniel Cormier
Josh Barnett
Gegard Mousasi
Ronaldo Souza

Pat Healy
Roger Gracie
Tim Kennedy
K.J. Noons

Jorge Gurgel
Michael Bravo

Edit: HAHA Nick the only differences I had were the last two.

Nick · **Posted:** January, 7, 2013 - 8:21pm

Seems like a pretty easy card to pick for me. The only fights I remotely hesitated on were the last two and the Noons fight.

Nick · **Posted:** January, 14, 2013 - 12:06am

I got 2 wrong. I didn't watch the card but it sounds like Tarec really obliterated Nate's leg and it also sounds like Noons got screwed by the judges.
