Being at the Valley View Casino Center for a Strikeforce event and watching the occasional ‘Ultimate Fighter’ ad on the big screen while Dana White and Scott Coker sat nearby, there were moments on Saturday night that felt a little too much like a dream you might have after drinking too much Rockstar and passing out on the couch with Spike TV on.
The fact that Nick Diaz brawled his way to a victory over Paul Daley only made it seem more surreal, and in the end I found myself wondering whether this was the best single night of Strikeforce fights I’d ever seen.
The answer? Probably, yeah. Which makes it seem a little bittersweet that it came on a card that Coker and his staff set up, only to have the UFC swoop in just in time to reap the rewards.
Now that it’s all over, time to sort through the biggest winners, losers, and everything in between after Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley.

SAN DIEGO –This is the Strikeforce live blog for Gegard Mousasi vs. Keith Jardine, a light heavyweight bout on tonight’s Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley event at the Valley View Casino Center.
The last time Mousasi (30-3-1) fought for Strikeforce was a year ago when he lost his light heavyweight title to Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal. He fought twice more in 2010 and picked up submission wins over Jake O’Brien and Tatsuya Mizuno. Jardine (17-9-1), who won his last two fights on smaller programs, is stepping in for the injured Mike Kyle.
The live blog is below.

As almost everyone expected, Gegard Mousasi bloodied and battered Keith Jardine on Saturday night’s Strikeforce card. But as almost no one expected, Jardine showed a tremendous amount of toughness, Mousasi had a point deducted for an illegal kick, and the result was a majority draw.
It was a mess of a fight, with Jardine’s face becoming a bloody mess and the referee calling a halt to the action three separate times: Once for an illegal kick, once for a low blow and once because Mousasi’s mouthpiece fell out. One judge scored the fight 29-27 for Mousasi, but two judges scored it a 28-28 tie.

SAN DIEGO – As the Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley post-fight press conference ended, Gegard Mousasi stayed in his seat at the far end of the table, staring blankly at his hands as his coaches stood on either side of him speaking softly.
If you had just happened on the scene, you’d think his fight with Keith Jardine had ended in defeat rather than a majority draw. And, at least in Mousasi’s mind, you’d be partially right.
“I’m disappointed because a lot of people were expecting me to win,” Mousasi said. “I let them down.”

Saturday night’s Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley card was the first major event on Showtime since the UFC purchased Strikeforce, and it was a good opportunity to see how Showtime would handle its MMA broadcasts now that the premium cable channel is in business with a promotion that had previously been a rival.
Overall, I thought Showtime did a solid job of handling the UFC’s purchase of Strikeforce. But once it was time for the fighters to step into the cage, the coverage of Saturday night’s biggest controversy — the Gegard Mousasi vs. Keith Jardine draw — left something to be desired.
Let’s start with the good: Showtime handled the UFC’s purchase of Strikeforce appropriately by tackling it at the outset. It’s a major story that deserved the upfront treatment it got.
