Welterweight Championship bout: Nick Diaz (c) vs Evangelista Santos
This is going to be Nick Diaz’ toughest fight since being in Strikeforce. Santos is tough everywhere. Good standup, good ground. Better than Diaz? Different. I still think Diaz is going to win this fight.
Middleweight Championship bout: Ronaldo Souza (c) vs Robbie Lawler
If Lawler connects Souza will be out. In fact, I like Lawler here.
Heavyweight bout: Herschel Walker vs Scott Carson
No pick.
Light Heavyweight bout: Roger Gracie vs Trevor Prangley
Prangley is a longtime veteran and difficult to submit. However, on this night, Gracie will submit him.
I have Gracie winning this fight inside 2.

We’re 15 days away from Herschel Walker‘s second pro MMA fight, and it’s safe to say that there is a considerable less amount of buzz heading into the sequel.
Part of that has to do with the mammoth shadow cast over the Jan. 29 Strikeforce event by the upcoming heavyweight grand prix, and the other part is most of us feel like we’ve seen this movie before: Herschel Walker vs. unknown fighter X. Been there done that. As you may recall, Walker defeated the unknown Greg Nagy last January, and many are expecting him to do the same against Scott Carson when they meet in San Jose, Calif.
And while pundits and fans criticized Strikeforce for the matchmaking when this fight was first announced, which was originally supposed to take place in December before Walker suffered a cut under his eye in training, Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said on Monday’s episode of The MMA Hour, that the organization originally had some big plans for the former Heisman Trophy winner.

NFL great Herschel Walker is approaching only the second fight of his MMA career but at 48, he’s not wasting any time considering what he has to offer to the sport once his fight career is over.
Walker said Monday on The MMA Hour that he is considering an ambassador role once he fulfills his second MMA fight on Jan. 28 at Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Cyborg.
“I really wanted to get into my training real heavily and I was doing well and I said I’d like to be more of a force and patriot in a sense that I’d like to speak out for the fighters and I want to put a good fight this fight here and then maybe become an ambassador for the sport,” said Walker.
