Strikeforce: Miami 2010






Overall it was a good night of fights, with 47 year old Herschel Walker winning by TKO in his MMA debut to Robbie Lawler's amazing KO victory. Of course you had two great championship fights in Cris Cyborg retaining her Womens Lightweight Championship and Strikeforce crowning their first ever Welterweight Champion Nick Diaz in his knock out win. Even though Strikeforce as a promotion is still slightly behind UFC and WEC in production quality, they still put on good fights and give a good alternative to MMA fans.
