HOUSTON – Strikeforce’s first trip to the Lone Star State resulted in an attendance of 8,635, which officials surely will consider a success.
Saturday’s event, “Strikeforce: Houston,” aired on Showtime with a pair of title fights and took place at the Toyota Center in Texas.
MMAjunkie.com confirmed with a Strikeforce official the attendance figure, which company CEO Scott Coker said in ni doubt was aided by former Houston resident K.J. Noons, who defeated fellow lightweight Jorge Gurgel on the night’s main card.
