Strikeforce on Tuesday announced the backup fighters for its first women’s tournament, as well as the official rules for that tournament, which will be held Aug. 13 as part of a Strikeforce Challengers show in Phoenix.
Colleen Schneider and Liz Carmouche will take part in what the promotion is terming a “reserve bout” as part of the 135-pound, four-woman event. The two will fight on the preliminary card. The main card will air live on Showtime.

MiddleEasy.com is at it again, reporting on Sunday morning that Paul Daley has signed a six-fight deal with Strikeforce and will face Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos in his first bout with the American promotion.
Since getting excommunicated from the UFC for punching Josh Koscheck after the bell at UFC 113 in May, Daley appeared on the inaugural pay-pay-view of the Australia-based Impact FC promotion in July – notching a win over Daniel Acacio — and had been rumored to be in contract talks with Bellator as well as slated to fight in the European United Glory welterweight tournament this fall.
No date is yet known for Daley’s Strikeforce debut. Middle Easy cites an anonymous but “very reliable” source with the news.

Just two weeks before its first women’s tournament, Strikeforce might be losing one of its competitors.
There have been reports that Carina Damm, of Brazil, is having a hard time getting her visa secured so she can travel to Phoenix for the Aug. 13 welterweight (135 pounds) tournament, and Strikeforce spokesman Mike Afromowitz confirmed that speculation on Wednesday night in an e-mail to members of the media.
Damm is scheduled to be one of four participants in the tournament, which will be held at Phoenix’s Dodge Theatre as part of a Strikeforce Challengers event that will air live on Showtime. The main event of the card is a 182-pound catchweight bout between Joe Riggs and Louis Taylor.
Damm (15-3) hasn’t fought outside her native Brazil in more than two years. She has a 10-fight winning streak.

Strikeforce announced today that it has signed Ryan Couture to a contract and that the lightweight prospect who holds an amateur MMA record of 5-1-1 will make his professional debut on August 13 at the next Strikeforce Challengers event at Dodge Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona.
The 27-year-old who trains out of his dad, UFC Hall-of-Famer Randy Couture’s Xtreme Couture gym in Las Vegas, Nevada will take on Lucas Stark at the event.

Now depending on where you’re at in this ever shrinking world of ours, you may want to take another sip of that morning java and squint: the above headline reads ‘Ryan’, not ‘Randy’. Yes indeedy, Strikeforce has announced today that it has signed the 27 year-old son of legendary fighter Randy Couture, […]

Now depending on where you’re at in this ever shrinking world of ours, you may want to take another sip of that morning java and squint: the above headline reads ‘Ryan’, not ‘Randy’. Yes indeedy, Strikeforce has announced today that it has signed the 27 year-old son of legendary fighter Randy Couture, Ryan, to a “multi-fight agreement.” The lightweight, who naturally (pun intended) trains out of pop’s Xtreme Couture gym in Las Vegas, will make his pro debut against Lucas Stark (2-4) at Strikeforce’s upcoming August 13th show in Phoenix.
If you’re only a part-time MMA addict, then you might not really be aware of Ryan’s amateur career to date; the fighter decided to punt his career as a banker in 2006 to begin training in MMA. Since then he’s gone 5-1-1 in amateur competition, with all five of his victories coming way of submission. For some info on Ryan’s ‘doing it for free’ pugilistic endeavours, check out this Fix video from March. Couture made it be known at that juncture, “that if all goes well”, he would be turning pro soon after.
So, there you have it; really it’s a smart move by Strikeforce. When your pa is one of the sport’s most accomplished and beloved fighters, people are going to tune in to see how you fight. In addition, Strikeforce doesn’t have the kind of depth at lightweight that the UFC has, so really, it makes sense for Ryan to test the pro waters there first. Now if Ryan had spent the last decade plus boxing, and could talk some serious sh-t, then you might have seen him making his pro debut in the Octagon.
