    No real surprise--Strikeforce had hoped to bring Gina Carano back for this event but she won't be fighting this year. I would be surprised to see her ever fight again unless her acting career goes tits up.

    Strikeforce are usually slow at getting their fights announced so no surprise that their card (little over two weeks away) is still incomplete. Maybe not enough people are asking Coker & Co. or maybe they book them late.

    Re: Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Masvidal (Dec. 17th)

    Loving the look of the televised card. Always enjoy watching Mrs. Cyborg kicking ass and Mousassi is not as hot as he once was but he can look absolutely dominating at times. KJ Noons is an ass, but has very good hands so I expect his fight to be good.

    I don't expect Masvidal to do too much, maybe hang on and last but I don't think he can put Melendez in trouble at all

    Re: Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Masvidal (Dec. 17th)

    Cris Santos will reportedly drop the 145-lbs. belt after this fight (supposing she wins) to go down and help Strikeforce create the 135-lbs. women's uni-division, where all of the women will fight, except for the ones that don't. I dunno what to make of this strategy.

    Cris Santos has opened as a 9-to-1 favourite over opponent Hiroko Yamanaka--anything can happen, yadda yadda, but this division STINKS!

    The event will air on Showtime around 10.30pm ET. No preliminary fight broadcast but if time permits they could fit some in.

    Ward/Froch wasn't much of a fight... Froch was miles behind from the start... judges scored it closer than it deserved, understatement of the year.

    According to Mauro...

    Masvidal: former street fighter
    Yamanaka: former dominatrix

    Ok...

    Still winding down the Froch/Ward fight... MMA coming soon, they swear... Gus Johnson looking as dandy as ever.

    Nick Diaz boxes regularly with Ward in Oakland... no wonder they are both great. Iron sharpens iron.

    Four fights on the docket tonight, Noons/Evangelista, the returning Mousasi/OSP, Santos/Can, and Melendez/Masvidal, which should be a barn burner.

    Should be good.

    Noons/Evangelista--great fight, both guys fighitng hard for the full 15.

    Noons likely wins a decision two rounds to one.
