When fans booed the first women’s MMA match promoted by Zuffa, most of us assumed we were witnessing the beginning of the end for women’s MMA under the Zuffa banner. Strikeforce allowing their women’s middleweight champion Chris “Cyborg” San…
At 24 years old, Rousey is a very interesting prospect. She became the first American woman to earn an Olympic medal in judo, winning a Bronze medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. She celebrated this by becoming a vegan. Seriously. She is currently 2-0 as a professional MMA fighter, with both fights ending in under a minute by armbar. For that matter, all of her amateur fights ended that way as well. To say the least, the odds are pretty good that her fight against Sarah D’Alelio won’t last too long.

Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Henderson added Julie Kedzie vs. Alexis Davis to their fight card! Though we were all saddened that Gina Carano wasn’t medically cleared for her June return to Strikeforce—hey, what the hell? How.

Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Henderson added Julie Kedzie vs. Alexis Davis to their fight card! Though we were all saddened that Gina Caranowasn’t medically cleared for her June return to Strikeforce—hey, what the hell? How come we were all down on Nate Marquardt‘s junk (*Note I said down, ’cause his testosterone is low…whatever, that joke totally went over your head) to give us the truth and we don’t even know what kept Carano from fighting??? We are so sexist! Regardless, thank you Strikeforce for this match up between two pretty smokin’ hot tough ladies, as you can see by my side by side comparison above.
We’re not excited because Alexis Davis and Julie Kedzie are pretty. If you’ve watched any of those Ultimate Female Sexual Wrestling porn videos, you’d know “pretty” isn’t exactly a requirement to get excited. We’re actually excited to see two very capable women slug it out, roll around, and choke each other in hopes that maybe one day Dana White will welcome them into the UFC Octagon.
So we look forward to seeing these girls in compromising positions as they’ve looked in past fights,

According to a report by MMAPrime.tv, Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos has pulled out of his upcoming bout with Paul Daley due to a shoulder injury, leaving Strikeforce scurrying to find a suitable replacement for the durable Brazilian for the July 30 Fedor vs. Henderson card in Chicago.
If we were the SF matchmaker (no offense, Sean Shelby), we’d already have a new opponent for “Semtex” before we hung up the phone with Cyborg’s camp when we got the call that he was pulling out of the bout.
“Tyron, get training. You got your shot. Daley July 30,” the text would read, to which a “smiley-face” reply would be sent back a few moments later.
Zuffa has yet to confirm the rumor that the Daley-Cyborg bout was for the welterweight title vacated by Nick Diaz’s unceremonious departure to the UFC, but since a Woodley-Daley fight was on the table before Cyborg was shuffled in from a planned bout with Tarec Saffiedene, why not give the undefeated American Top Team prospect his due. Strikeforce has been promising Woodley a shot for a while. Now is the time to deliver.

According to a report by MMAPrime.tv, Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos has pulled out of his upcoming bout with Paul Daley due to a shoulder injury, leaving Strikeforce scurrying to find a suitable replacement for the durable Brazilian for the July 30 Fedor vs. Henderson card in Chicago.

Strikeforce has been promising Woodley a shot for a while. Now is the time to deliver.
In the interview above that Woodley did with MMAHeat’s Karen Bryant, the 29-year-old Ferguson, Missouri, United States called out Daley, insinuating that the brash Brit striker ducked him by fighting at BAMMA 5 in February instead of taking a fight with him.
“I think realistically I worked my way up from the undercard through the Challengers [Series]. You guys have gotten to see me go through wars. You got to see me knock people out. So I think, realistically, I should be the next in line. Next time the championship bout is offered, I think I should be the one in the cage. I really and truly think that Daley dodged a bullet when he went to fight in BAMMA in London. He didn’t really want to fight me because he really do well with wrestlers,” he explained. “I think that should have been the tier bout before [the Diaz] bout, but I think things happen for a reason. When my time comes, it’s my time.”
Scott Coker agreed that Woodley deserved his shot.
“I think he’s ready to go, not just because he’s here and he’s got the shirt on. The thing about Tyron is, I’m always impressed with the fighters that improve the disciplines that are not their core disciplines,” Coker pointed out. “We all know he came from wrestling, but look at his striking. It’s getting better. Look at his jiu-jitsu. It’s getting better. So that’s the thing I’m most impressed with…We’re going to give him an opportunity in the next couple months and then it’s going to be up to T-Wood at that point.”
That interview took place on April 9 and according to Woodley, who was named 2010 Rising Star of the Year by Strikeforce, he hasn’t heard where or whe he’ll be fighting next.

A fight pitting recent middleweight title challenger Robbie Lawler against Tim Kennedy has been added to Strikeforce’s July 30 show outside Chicago.
Strikeforce announced the fight via Twitter on Thursday. The fight is expected to be part of the main card for Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Henderson, which takes place at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Ill., a northwest suburb of Chicago.
Lawler (18-7, 1 NC, 2-3 Strikeforce) fights for the first time since a January submission loss to Strikeforce middleweight champion Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza in San Jose, Calif. Lawler got that title shot on the strength of a 50-second knockout of Matt Lindland about two months earlier in St. Louis.
Kennedy (13-3, 4-1 Strikeforce) returns after making quick work of Melvin Manhoef at Strikeforce’s March show in Columbus, Ohio. In that fight, he submitted the Dutch kickboxing specialist in the first round.
Kennedy, too, has a loss to Jacare on his resume. Kennedy, a Bronze Star medal winner in the Army, fought Jacare for Strikeforce’s vacant middleweight title after Jake Shields vacated the belt to sign with the UFC. That loss was his only one in six fights.
Lawler, the former EliteXC middleweight champion, has had an up-and-down stretch since winning that belt in September 2007 against Murilo “Ninja” Rua. After EliteXC folder, Lawler picked up with Strikeforce – but it was almost a year between fights for him. Since his Strikeforce debut, a loss to Shields, he had a pair of 2010’s best knockouts against Melvin Manhoef and Matt Lindland, plus a decision loss to Renato “Babalu” Sobral. Lawler hasn’t had a winning streak since 2007.
Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Henderson features a main event between light heavyweight champion Dan Henderson and former pound-for-pound MMA kingpin Fedor Emelianenko, who is looking to rebound from consecutive losses for the first time in his career.
The card also features a women’s welterweight title fight between champion Marloes Coenen and Miesha Tate, a welterweight bout between Paul Daley and Evangelista Santos and a light heavyweight bout between Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal and Roger Gracie.
The show will be Strikeforce’s second in the Chicago area, and second at the Sears Centre. The promotion’s first trip to the venue featured a heavyweight tilt between Fedor and Brett Rogers, a fight Fedor won by second-round TKO – his last victory. That main card was broadcast live on CBS. The July 30 show’s main card will be televised by Showtime.
