Here are some videos from last night’s fight in Fresno. It was an amazing card. Props to Strikeforce and Showtime for putting together an event with some amazing matchmaking. Honestly, there wasn’t a single boring fight on the card. Billy Evangelista vs. Jorge Gurgel Brandon Cash vs. Shane del Rosario (this fight is a must [...]
Strikeforce Challengers Series: Highlight Photos
So, my angle (as usual) wasn’t the best for the event, but it was an amazing show, so I’m pretty happy with it. The fight of the night, for me was Shane del Rosario (9-0 MMA) vs. Brandon Cash (5-1 MMA), though I imagine I’ll get into why, exactly, tomorrow (after posting the video to [...]
Additions to Strikeforce: ShoMMA
Though the Strikeforce: Challengers Series event will certainly be overshadowed by the first appearance of Fedor Emelianenko on CBS, as he takes on undefeated top ten heavyweight Brett Rogers, MMA Opinion will be offering live coverage of the event, so it is worth posting that there have been some additions to the card.

Respect the Belt: The Resurgence of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
This is my first post on the site, and I’m glad to be here. Looks like a great group of guys and a solid think-tank. Given my background in the sport, and some of the results from the recent UFC cards, I thought this would be a good way to start this off. There was [...]
UFC 77 Preview
In a string of bad luck decisions/good luck decision consequences, the much maligned stretch of two B-level UFC pay-per-view broadcasts kicks off tomorrow night in Cincinnati.
