All 10 fighters competing on the televised portion of Friday’s Strikeforce Challengers 13 made weight on their first visit to the scale.
Welterweight contender hopefuls Tyron Woodley and Tarec Saffiedine each weighed in at 170.2 for their main event matchup, which will headline the event at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium.
Woodley will be looking to improve to a perfect 8-0 while Saffiedine hopes to notch his fourth straight win.

It’s hard for Tyron Woodley to stay patient. He’s tried, and is still trying, but waiting his turn isn’t the most natural of inclinations for the former Mizzou wrestler. That’ll happen when you grow up with 12 siblings. Either you learn to seize your moment, or you get ignored.
But as the undefeated Woodley zeroes in on tonight’s main event bout against Tarec Saffiedine at a Strikeforce: Challengers event in Nashville, Tenn., he has to remind himself that everything will come in due time – as long as he keeps winning.
“The fighter and the competitor in you comes out at a certain point,” Woodley said of his rise through the Strikeforce ranks. “It’s less about not rushing, and more about not comparing yourself to others. If you start looking at what other guys are doing, then you might get frustrated. So what I started doing is, I think that what God has in mind for my future and my plan is for me. Nobody else is going to have my route and what I’m supposed to do in mixed martial arts.”

Nick Diaz is one of Strikeforce’s most recognizable fighters, and he’s the unquestioned star of the welterweight division. But does Strikeforce have anyone to challenge him at 170 pounds?
That’s one of the big questions for Strikeforce in 2011. Some people think Diaz is one of the truly elite welterweights in all of MMA, while others think it’s impossible to say that because he hasn’t really been tested in Strikeforce. Actually, both might be right.
So can someone test Diaz in the next year? We take a look at the state of the Strikeforce welterweight division below.

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.
