the Air Tonight" in The Hangover, isn't the star of the best Nintendo game not named Tecmo Bowl, and was never married to Head of the Class star Robin Givens. Dear Frank Shamrock - if Nick Diaz's punches don't hurt and only confuse you, why did you fold up like a cheap tent when those non-hurtful punches kept connecting with various parts of your body? Additionally, turning around six minutes later to sing the praises of Diaz, his boxing prowess and how he hurt Zaromskis is just plain redonkulous. As are your braces. I'm all for good teeth, but c'mon.
9. Team Cesar Gracie Has 3 Champions
Jake Shields, Gilbert Melendez and now Nick Diaz all have championship gold around their waist.
For all the accolades we bestow upon teams like Greg Jackson's crew, ATT, and even Black House, this is the most titles under one roof in quite some time, and makes me think back to the days of Miletich Fighting Systems stomping the hell out of everyone in the UFC.
For all those people who want to say, "Yeah, but it's three Strikeforce titles," name a single squad in the UFC with three titles in their possession. You can't.
Give "The Scrap Pack" credit - they deserve it.
10. Strikeforce is Improving, But Still Have a Long Way to Go
Outside of the Hieron - Riggs fight, does anyone care what happened on the undercard?
Isn't there someone in the production booth who can figure out when to accurately cut to the fighter being introduced, instead of going a minute early every time and letting us see them standing there awkwardly waiting to hear their name?
Herschel Walker was just the biggest draw on your first event of 2010.
Jimmy Lennon Jr. made no mention of "Cyborg" being the Women's 145-pound champ when she walked to the ring looking like a dude... and a douchey dude who wears sunglasses indoors at that.
Maybe I just missed it because I was tweeting like a madman (@ESpencerKyte), but I didn't see the customary "wrap the belt around the waist of the new champion" moment when Diaz was announced as the winner. Showing the new champ with his belt is kind of important.
Although, Strikeforce seems to be okay with Alistair Overeem keeping the heavyweight title far from sight in Japan or Holland or wherever, so maybe they just don't care if you see the belt or not.
