Cyborg’s Domination of Finney
There’s very little to say about the domination of Jan Finney (8-8 MMA) put on by Strikeforce champion Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos (10-1 MMA, #1 IWMMAR). We knew it was a mismatch going in, and it performed as expected. There’s something to be said for a very tough Jan Finney, getting herself together after five knockdowns [...]
Miesha Tate, Tara LaRosa and Some Thoughts on Women’s MMA
Every once in a while, I pick up on some buzz in the women’s MMA community. I try to be plugged in to that scene, but I’m not always as attentive as (perhaps) I ought to be. Still, I have some great sources and some good friends who send me stuff. But the latest little [...]
Double Standards, Women’s MMA, and the Way of the World
Alright, as a disclaimer, this post is going to sound excessively grouchy. Maybe that’s because I’ve already used up most of my weekly allowance of optimism on the UFC heavyweight division, and maybe it’s because I’ve been making this same argument over and over again since August of last year. Maybe it’s because I’m just [...]
Strikeforce: Miami Payroll
MMAJunkie released the payouts for Strikeforce’s card in Miami over the weekend. The results are interesting, though who’s making the most money isn’t surprising. Note Herschel Walker’s payout. Walker donated his winnings to charity, which is a story in and of itself (since it shows that Walker isn’t in the game because he’s hurting for [...]
Strikeforce: The Things that Matter (and Things that Don’t)
It seems appropriate that Strikeforce: Miami is being held in the same building where EliteXC received its death-knell (the loss of Kimbo Slice to TUF dropout Seth Petruzelli). It seems appropriate because Strikeforce has put together a card that I, as an MMA fan, simply cannot be proud of. There are bouts on this card [...]
Fight Recap, With a Special Guest
So, when I go to events, I make a point of finding out where the fighters are staying, and try and crash there. There’s a reason for that, as it’s really cool to talk to fighters as they walk through the lobby. Well, I have some wicked sleep disorders, and apparently so did the star [...]

“Strikeforce: Shamrock vs. Diaz” weigh-in results
Josh and I attended today’s “Strikeforce: Shamrock vs. Diaz” weigh-ins at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif. Fans and media tightly packed into “The Grill” restaurant in anticipation of the event. Issues of fighter medicals and some organizational hang-ups slowed the start time of the weigh-ins. The restlessness of the fans and media, however, [...]

Cyborg last fought October 4th, in what would be the second to last EliteXc event with a victory over Yoko Takashi. Hitomi “Girlfight Monster” Akano competed in SmackGirl and various other promotions and is 4-3 [...]
