Whether it anything to do with UFC brass sitting cageside or not,
Saturday’s “Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley” event certainly wound up as one
of the most entertaining in the promotion’s history.
A controversial decision in a blood-filled slugfest and three
first-round stoppages were punctuated with one of the most memorable
one-round fights in recent memory.
MMA pundits immediately pitted the night’s winners against their UFC
counterparts, but even with the two promotions now under one umbrella,
Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker warned fans to maintain their patience – but
to expect great things in the very near future.
