Re: Strikeforce: Houston (Aug. 21st) Mo Lawal out of action for at least 9 months. Having his ACL and I believe his PCL replaced.
Re: Strikeforce: Houston (Aug. 21st) I saw the Lawal vs Cavalcante fight, good takedown D by Cavalcante and good job working the body from Lawal. Great explosion from Feijao in the 3rd though.

Doesn't seem like anyone watched this one... got a chance to see it this afternoon and there isn't much to say about it.
Yeah I did watch it but nothing too interesting happened. KJ Noons had a semi controversial KO with the shot just after the bell and the knee at the end. King Mo is a dumbass for dropping his hands the whole fight.
