Justin Wilcox kicks Shamar Bailey.The first Strikeforce event since the UFC bought the promotion takes place Friday night in Stockton, with a Challengers event that we’ve been told over and over again will be “business as usual” — with the exception of elbows to the head on the ground being allowed.

Where it won’t be business as usual, however, is that the guys in the Challengers shows now have more on the line than they did before: Impressive wins will likely result in Challengers fighters eventually moving on to the UFC. But with the UFC/Strikeforce merger concentrating almost all the major league MMA in one place, those who fail to impress on the Challengers show are going to have an awfully hard time making it as a professional fighter.

What: Strikeforce Challengers 15: Wilcox vs. Damm

Where: Stockton Arena, Stockton, California

When: Friday, the Showtime televised card begins at 11 PM ET

Predictions on the five televised fights below.

Justin WilcoxJustin Wilcox put on a show at Saturday night’s Strikeforce Challengers event in Stockton, California, dominating Rodrigo Damm for five minutes and opening up a cut over Damm’s left eye that caused the fight to be stopped before the start of the second round.

It was Wilcox’s fifth consecutive win in Strikeforce, and his most impressive yet. Wilcox benefited from Strikeforce legalizing elbows to the head on the ground in brutalizing Damm on the ground, and prior to that he chased Damm around the cage, as Damm didn’t really look like he wanted any part of Wilcox.

Wilcox, who had Josh Koscheck in his corner, praised his camp afterward.

Strikeforce has a lightweight champion, Gilbert Melendez, whose only fight in 2010 was a win over the lightweight champion of Dream, Shinya Aoki, and who keeps talking about his desire to fight the lightweight champion of Bellator, Eddie Alvarez. So doesn’t Strikeforce have any of its own lightweights for its champion to fight?

No, not really. At least not right now, where the best fight for Melendez really would be outside the organization. But as we look at the state of the Strikeforce lightweights below, we’ll examine whether the promotion can beef up its lightweight roster and make bigger things happen in 2011.

Eye Poke Steals the Show at Strikeforce Challengers

StrikeforceJustin Wilcox, Ovince St. Preux and Liz Carmouche all had the biggest wins of their MMA careers at Friday night’s Strikeforce Challengers event on Showtime. So it’s a shame that an accidental eye poke ending a fight in just six seconds is what everyone will be talking about.

But that’s exactly what happened on Friday night: The fight between Dream welterweight champion Marius Zaromskis and Waachiim Spiritwolf was over as soon as it started when Zaromskis charged across the cage at the opening bell, went for a flying knee and accidentally poked Spiritwolf in the eye, causing an injury that led the ringside doctor to call off the fight. The official ending was a no contest, six seconds into the first round, in one of the fastest, strangest endings to a fight in MMA history.
