With a vicious punch in the first round, Paul Daley knocked Scott Smith cold on Saturday night’s Strikeforce card.
There wasn’t anything fancy about this fight. They stood in front of each other and threw punches, and within the first minute there was the first knockdown, with Daley hitting Smith hard and sending him flying against the fence. As he so often does, Smith recovered quickly, however, and got back to his feet.

If you insist on framing Saturday night’s dueling MMA action as a head-to-head matchup between Strikeforce and the UFC – and we do, since we’re media types, meaning we can always be counted on to find the easiest storyline and absolutely beat it to death – then you have to consider it a victory for Scott Coker and Co. Strikeforce came into the evening with the better card on paper and on this night the chalk held up. By virtue of back-to-back-to-back-to-back knockouts (if you count Antonio Silva’s TKO over Mike Kyle, which we do), last night Strikeforce was the metaphorical broken clock that turns up right twice a day, the dog’s ass that finally catches some sun. Meanwhile, every live fight on the UFC’s broadcast of the “Ultimate Fighter” season 12 finale went the distance. Both shows were decent, but after months of incessant bitching we should know by now that MMA fans will take a night full of stoppages over a night of scorecard verdicts every time.
During any given week on this website we give Strikeforce an unending raft of shit on the basis of its general incompetence, so it only seems fair to hand out some props on the rare occasion when the company doesn’t screw up in any obvious way. Good job, Strikeforce. We’d love to sit here and tell you last night’s show was indicative of the promotion “figuring it out” somehow, but frankly it seems like it just got lucky with a bunch of dynamic knockouts. Still, the fact this show went off as well as it did after the original fight card got scrambled by late injuries is sort of remarkable. Now it just remains to be seen how many people actually watched it.

(From left to right: Mike Kyle squares off with Bigfoot Silva’s massive cranium, Kelli Hutcherson stands out in a crowd, and this is going to sound really strange, but does that photo of Lawler and Lindland remind anybody else of those optical illusion face-drawings that show a different person when you look at them upside-down?)
Headlined by a rematch ten years in the making, and featuring a solid supporting cast of knockout artists, Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Babalu could be the sleeper event of the year. The main card is about to kick off at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, and CagePotato contributor Matt Kaplan will be liveblogging it as quickly as his little fingers will allow. Round-by-round updates from the Showtime broadcast can be found after the jump, beginning at 10 p.m. ET.

In case you’re wondering, no, Paul Daley is not concerned with what you think about him. Even after earning himself a lifetime ban from the UFC for sucker punching Josh Koscheck after their fight at UFC 113 and, in the process, drawing the continued ire of many MMA fans, rehabilitating his image is still the last thing on Daley’s mind.
“As long as I do myself justice, I’m okay,” the British welterweight told MMA Fighting. “The people who love me, people who support me, the fans that I have, they know that I’ve always been myself. There’s never been two sides to me. Throughout my career you’ll always see some things happening again and again, and that shows I’ve always been myself. I’ve never been playing a character. There’s a pattern in my behavior, and it’s a steady pattern.”
Which means…what, exactly? That poor displays of sportsmanship aren’t so objectionable as long as they’re genuine? That hitting an opponent after the bell isn’t as bad as changing your personality to suit the situation? By all means, let’s let “Semtex” explain.
