Strikeforce has officially announced its long-rumored March 5 event at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, adding a pair of intriguing bouts with championship implications.
As MMA Fighting first reported, that show will be headlined by a light-heavyweight championship main event pitting recently crowned Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante against challenger Dan Henderson.
That, however, will not be the only title match of the evening, as No. 1 contender Miesha Tate will finally get her shot at the belt when she faces champion Marloes Coenen in a women’s lightweight title fight.

The latest edition of the web-based Alistair Overeem mini documentary opens with Marloes Coenen receiving a hero’s welcome as she returns home to Holland for the first time since she won the Strikeforce women’s 135-pound title.
"I’m very proud, first of all. I know how hard she worked. She’s very dedicated. I knew she had it in her because she’s really strong and she’s really technical," Alistair explains. "Overall I’m very proud. Our Marloes. Our Marloes Coenen."
Golden Glory seems to be one of the tightest knit teams in MMA. It’s nice to see them giving their teammates the support that they do.
The episode also sees "The Demolition Man" attend the Glory MMA and kickboxing event to support his GG mates and beating the shit out of training with a group of friends from across Europe.

I can’t help but think that maybe, as a child, Nick Diaz saw one too many after-school specials about bullying and came away with the wrong message. Somehow, somewhere in the spooky corridors of his mind, the notion took route that you can’t allow yourself to respect anyone until after you’ve beaten them in a fight.
For instance, look at the way he was immediately capable of acting like a civil human being to KJ Noons after winning Saturday night’s bout. The same was true when he fought Frank Shamrock. Before that fight he wouldn’t even shake Shamrock’s hand, opting instead to give him the finger when Frank offered (though in fairness, in certain parts of Stockton the bird is one of those all-purpose gestures).
My point is, if the only way Diaz can treat someone with the respect he’d like for himself is to beat them up, he should probably go ahead and get in the cage with Jason “Mayhem” Miller. This stuff about throwing water bottles at him in the hallway of the HP Pavillion and trying to fight him when neither of them is getting paid, that’s bush league stuff. Not only is it unprofessional, it’s financially unsound.
