As Ajit promised here, here’s some more of the Total-MMA staff with their picks ahead of tonight’s fights in Hoffman Estate, IL, which goes out live on Showtime. And it’s a strong show too - lead off by a clash of PRIDE legends; as former Heavyweight champ and the man frequently mentioned as the MMA GOAT, Fedor Emelianenko, tries to get back to winning ways against the only man to hold titles in two weight classes at the same time in a major MMA promotion, Dan Henderson. But the fun doesn’t stop there folks, as a pair of Welterweight title eliminators featuring wild sluggers Paul Daley and Scott Smith pitted against hot prospects Tyron Woodley and Tarec Saffiedine round out the undercard — which also sees top Middleweights Robbie Lawler and Tim Kennedy clash. And to top it all off we have a women’s Welterweight (135lbs) title fight between Golden Glory’s Marloes Coenen and the lovely Miesha Tate. Read the rest of this entry »

The poster for Strikeforce Challengers 15, which went down last night in Stockton, CA.
This card may not be live, no, but the Primetime network, the new home for Strikeforce MMA here in the UK will be broadcasting all future Strikeforce events on their network. This is a big step for Strikeforce, and one they can probably thank Zuffa for, as the San Jose, California based company have not had a permanent British TV deal before. Tonight’s rerun of last night’s fights will be available for free on Sky Channel 480 and on their website, with next week’s card, headlined by Nick Diaz and Paul Daley, also free on TV and online for the modest fee of £9.95. That card will also be aired live at 3am GMT. The re-run of SF Challengers starts at 7pm GMT tonight, so, fellow MMA loving Brits, get over there sharpish and enjoy what I’m told was a very exciting card!

Pictured: Strikeforce Challengers 15 will host up and coming fighters, and will no doubt be an exciting night of fights.
The Strikeforce challengers series is a way for Strikeforce to broadcast their lesser-known fighters, and for those fighters to send a message to the rest of the division. The cards are always exciting with action packed fights, and are a great way for fighters to leave everything on the mat and show what they are capable of. Regardless of wins or loses, fighters can step up to a bigger stage and showcase their skills and get attention from the fans (as was the case with Lyle “Fancy Pants” Beerbohm on the last card).

It’s a struggle to make it through this video. But unfortunately, it’s not an early April Fool’s joke. Strikeforce is now owned by ZUFFA, which will — essentially, let’s cut the crap — inevitably lead to the end of Strikeforce. Dave Walsh at Liverkick.com does a nice job of explaining why, if that’s the kind of analysis you want right now. If you want a more emotional reaction, read on…

A very entertaining Strikeforce shows saw Dan Henderson once again utilize his big right hand to claim yet another title. We can only be glad most of us will never be at the receiving end of that bomb. In a co-main event bout, Marloes Coenen defended her title against a surprisingly game Liz Carmouche. Other bouts saw Tim Kennedy demonstrate why being a one dimensional striker in MMA is like being a blind wide receiver in the NFL. And Jorge Masvidal shows us that he can still box in a pivotal bout with prospect Billy Evangelista.
Let’s take a closer look at the nights main event and see exactly what happened: Read the rest of this entry »

Strikeforce challengers 14 took place last Saturday in the Cedar Park Center in Texas, and was action packed. Out of the 5 main card bouts, 4 fights ended in submission and only the exciting main event went for the full 3 rounds.

“Yes, maybe it’s the last time,” Fedor Emelianenko “The Last Emperor” stated after his grueling defeat to Antonio “Big Foot” Silva. “Maybe it’s high time. Thank God for everything. I spent a great, beautiful long sporting life. Maybe it’s God’s will.”

Pictured: Randy and Ryan Couture celebrate victory at Strikeforce: Challengers last night.
The stand out fighter of the night in Austin, Texas last night was Captain America’s flesh and blood Ryan Couture. Winning his second fight last night at Strikeforce: Challengers, Ryan is stepping out of his fathers shadow — and making a good attempt in making a name for himself.

The dust has settled from the first round of the Strikeforce heavyweight GP, and what an event it was. I won’t focus too much on what everyone already knows-the legend, Fedor, lost his 2nd fight in a row and was contemplating retirement, and Arlovski lost his 4th fight in a row with a brutal KO by Kharitonov (view these articles for more about the event: A Sad Farewell to the Greatest Heavyweight of All Time
The Breakdown: Strikeforce - Fedor vs. Silva).
