With UFC 129 in the rear-view mirror and no major MMA event for the next two weeks, I thought now would be a good time to look at the MMA pound-for-pound best fighters.
Both GSP and Jose Aldo fought hard to make their cases for that No. 1 spot; however, the performances of Jake Shields and Mark Hominick proved tougher than some expected.
With that said, here is my take on the top 10 fighters in Mixed Martial Arts right now.
In a Bloody Elbow exclusive, Jeff Lacy’s manager, Joey Gilbert, described the details of the upcoming boxing event between current Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz and former International Boxing Federation super middleweight champ…
In a Bloody Elbow exclusive, Jeff Lacy’s manager, Joey Gilbert, described the details of the upcoming boxing event between current Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz and former International Boxing Federation super middleweight champion Jeff Lacy.
According to Gilbert, Nick Diaz will earn no less than his purse from his last MMA bout with Paul Daley, which was $175,000.
Additionally, Gilbert stated that Lacy was willing to accept a pay cut less than Diaz’s purse to ensure that this fight would take place.
With the amount of money guaranteed to the fighters, Gilbert is hopeful that a network will pick up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have a current MMA champion face a former boxing champion in the middle of the squared circle.
“Right now, we’re ready to go with an independent pay-per-view, but Showtime would be crazy not to pick this up. Jeff Lacy made his name on Showtime and Nick Diaz is a champion in mixed martial arts and a Showtime fighter,” Gilbert stated.
Currently, Showtime’s interest in the fight is unknown. The marketing prospect of Diaz as a boxer with respect to Showtime was not part of the original marketing equation. Therefore, whether or not Showtime will air this fight remains a question.
What is known is that this bout will be a 10-round fight.
Stay tuned in the near future as more details unfold.
I welcome your comments.

MiddleEasyTV posted this video of Nick Diaz and Paul Daley running into each other in the hotel lobby after their fight. Both seem very cool, decent, and respectful of one another. It’s baffling why Diaz doesn’t show this side of him more often.

As a female, I think he’s mostly uncouth and rude, so of course I’m in love.

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.

For years, No. 1 has been a guess, an argument, a debate, and nothing more. But in this brave, new world, we move closer than ever to getting our answer. It will never be final, of course. Even when you have a dominant champion, there is always someone else on the way up, someone who plants doubt in your mind. But we’re at least finally heading in the right direction. With the recent Zuffa-Strikeforce deal, we have 95 percent of the world’s best fighters under the same umbrella, and at some point in the near future, they’ll actually get in the cage together and fight.
Right now, it’s something like a civil war, two sides who need to be unified for the good of everyone involved, for both the people fighting and those waiting for resolution. Until then we’ll keep guessing as soldiers, err… fighters like Gilbert Melendez fire off their best ammunition, both physical and verbal.
The first man to defend a title in our new era, the Strikeforce lightweight champion wasted little time in voicing what was already on everyone’s minds.
“I’ll tell you what, I think it’s time we unify some titles,” Melendez said. “Who wants to see me fight for that UFC title? Let’s unify them in my hexagon. I’m the No. 1 lightweight in the world, baby. I’m coming for the spot.”
