    Pretty good card, Cung Le vs Scott Smith should be a good one.

    Re: Strikeforce: Evolution (Dec. 19th)

    Scott Smith has become the Strikeforce punching bag. The fight doesn't really have any implications.

    None of the fights are particularly intriguing, IMHO.

    wow 3 of the main event fights have obvious winners, well it's obvious that strikeforce wants Souza, Lawler and King Mo to win.

    Strikeforce's under cards still underwhelm too.

    Robbie Lawler will not fight this weekend rather than face a last-minute opponent.

    What does everyone think of Scott Smith's chances against the rusty Le?

    I dunno, there hasn't been a lot of Cung Le fights to go off of. Does he have a chin? Scott Smith could land a big punch and knock him the fuck out.

    Saw the show tonight... Thompson vs. Melendez was fantastic, FOTY candidate for certain... Le vs. Smith was very dramatic but Le had the fight won in the first, wasted it, and then gassed. If he'd sacrificed style for substance he easily could've won but he wanted to win in spectacular fashion.

    I hope that is a typo.


    In related news King Mo was fined 10% of his purse for going overboard splashing Rockstar all over the cage following his win.

    $200 is the correct number.

    Rumour has it that Nakamura is under contract with M-1 and got some kind of undisclosed payday for the bout.
