    Hendo is a long shot to be involved in the tournament.

    Re: Strikeforce: San Jose - Diaz vs. Noons 2 (Oct. 9th)

    Pretty fun to have two of the biggest grudge matches in MMA (Cerrone/Varner, Diaz/Noons) almost back-to-back.

    Joe Rogan told the UG he's having "The Voice" Michael Schiavello to his place tomorrow for the Strikeforce show.

    They may uStream their viewing of the show and running commentary on it, which would be great.

    Expect Mike Goldberg to show up unannounced like Michael to Jim's part on The Office.

    Re: Strikeforce: San Jose - Diaz vs. Noons 2 (Oct. 9th)

    So it goes without saying that if you aren't planning on watching this tomorrow you're going to be missing out on at least two really good fights (though I'm sure I'll be posting the YouTube versions on Sunday for your viewing pleasure). Diaz/Noons is full of bad blood and should be an entertaining boxing match. Noons pretty much tooled Diaz last time but the WW Champ has evolved tremendously since then. Thompson/Calvan should be nice, too. Low expectations for Kaufmann/Coenen but maybe it will be decent. Both girls are game.

    Dave Batista--who has been training at CG with the Diaz Bros.--will be in Nick's corner Saturday night. First Steven Seagal, now Batista. Are we going up or downhill?

    Re: Strikeforce: San Jose - Diaz vs. Noons 2 (Oct. 9th)

    First fight was bad... Woodley looked good and Galvao had nothing to offer.

    Second fight was bad... Kaufmann had nothing for her, just stalling against the cage... Coenen looked good, looked as if Kaufmann tried hard to tap out but Coenen didn't let go and I think her elbow popped.

    Hopefully the next fights are better.

    Re: Strikeforce: San Jose - Diaz vs. Noons 2 (Oct. 9th)

    Sarah Kaufmann had no power at all in her punches. Dunno if she was sick or what. She threw one left hook that met Coenen's arm half way and didn't even send a ripple through it. Skipped off like a flat rock on water.

    FANTASTIC first round!

    Nice. Great fight so far.

    Near submissions for both fighters.

    Another good round. These guys are going hard. Looks like Calvan is starting to fade.

    Re: Strikeforce: San Jose - Diaz vs. Noons 2 (Oct. 9th)

    Calvan was able to maintain top position in the last round but he basically just hugged him for 30-45 seconds at minimum.

    First round was close with both fighters getting near-submissions. Calvan had a strike knockdown which might tilt that round to him but Thompson's submission attempt late in the round might be more memorable for the judges. Thompson won the second round and Calvan probably took the third.

    Fight is up in the air. Dunno if anyone will be happy with a decision besides the winning camp.

    Re: Strikeforce: San Jose - Diaz vs. Noons 2 (Oct. 9th)

    Little surprising that one judge saw the fight 30-27. The third round was really a stretch to give to Thompson. Guess that was an anti- lay and pray decision.

    Maybe the judges really like Omaplatas so they gave the third to The Punk
