As with every major show, BloodyElbow.com will be here to bring you live results and commentary for Strikeforce: Evolution. The live blog will start with the beginning of the Showtime broadcast (at 10 PM ET), so make sure to make Bloody Elbow your home for this event.
Bloody Elbow will be in the building for the event to bring even more in-depth coverage and impressions from the live environment.
As always we have our one rule: NO SPOILERS! In the interest of not ruining anything from the undercard that may make the broadcast we ask that you do not discuss the results of the undercard in the comments until either the broadcast ends or the fight makes the air.
SPOILER REMINDER #2: Since we have two major MMA events being broadcast live tonight, do not discuss the on-going action or results of WEC fights in this live-blog. The same will go for discussion of Strikeforce fights in the WEC live-blog.
This is Kid Nate filling in for Michael Rome who's battling connectivity issues at the arena.
The show is live on Showtime.
Muhammad "King Mo" Lawal vs Mike Whitehead: Whitehead looks a bit soft. Lawal looks loose in his corner. Michael Rome reports: Crowd loves Mo entrance. If he wins crowd will erupt. Round 1 They touch gloves. Bad leg kick misses for Whitehead. Mo is crouching low then fires with a combination of punches. More punches. Whitehead forces Mo against the cage. Nothing doing. Mo tags Whitehead with a left hook. Mo keeping his hands low, no respect for Whitehead's power. Whitehead landing leg kicks. Mo ddrops Whitehead with a 1-2. Follows up with ground and pound. Muhammad Lawal wins by TKO. Michael Rome comments from the arena: "The entrance made King Mo a star live. Huge, huge mistake by Showtime not showing it. Do they want stars or not?"

Unanimous decision for Gilbert Melendez who retakes the Strikeforce lightweight title. Michael Rome reports: Fight of the year level atmosphere for an amazing fight. Crowd was going nuts, and for good reason.
Cung Le vs Scott Smith Dreadful entrance music for Smith. Big John is the ref. Round 1 Smith comes out behind a wild high kick.

Smith with double unders, pins Le up against the cage, tags Le with an uppercut. Smith with an elbow. Smith firing with uppercuts to end the round. BloodyElbow scores the second round 10-9 for Cung Le. Round 3 Le tags him with a spinning high kick. Another kick! Le going for the kill. Smith misses a counter. Another side kick staggers Smith. Smith lunges with punches but misses. Smith is stalking Le. Le backs Smith up and is scoring with punches. Spinning back fist lands! Huge throw from Le! Back to the feet. Le looking for the knock out. Body kick. Left hook. Smith firing away and backing Le up. Oh my god Scott Smith tags Le and knocks him down. Another! Scott Smith gets a TKO win over Cung Le at 3:25 of Round 3. Michael Rome reports: "Complete shock and then huge ovation for Smith."
Undercard results in the full entry.
AJ Fonseca vs. Alex Crispim:
Round 1: Fonseca stuffs a takedown early, and after a long clinch battle Crispin gets him down. Nothing happens for a long time, Crispin working for a guillotine but can't get it. Fonseca is up and landing but doesn't have a lot of power. Crispin wants no part of standing. Bloody Elbow scores the round 10-10.
Round 2: They clinch right away. They break off, AJ shoots in and gets caught in a guillotine. It's tight, but Crispim isn't in the right position to finish it and has to let go. Crispim finds his way into mount, but AJ works his way to his feet. Nice jabs from Crispim find a home, as does a leg kick. Crispim dominating as the round ends. Bloody Elbow scores the round 10-9 for Alex Crispim.
Round 3: Crispim lands a hard right cross early and showboats a ton. They battle along the fence. Crispim uses a guillotine to reverse position and unloads a bunch of knees, including an illegal knee to the head. I think he lost a point. Fonseca decides to keep fighting, and gets a takedown. If he can steal a 10-8 with a point he could take this fight. Nevermind, Crispim working an omoplata and landing shots. Bloody Elbow scores the round 9-9.
Bloody Elbow scores the fight 29-28 for Alex Crispim. The judges agree and Crispim takes the unanimous decision.
This is Kid Nate: Michael Rome is having connectivity issues at the live event so we're holding off on further undercard results. We'll pick up the action with the Showtime broadcast.
Justin Wilcox def. Daisuke Nakamura by unanimous decision.
Michael Rome reports: "Wilcox won a decision, dominated the fight striking."
Antwain Britt def. Scott Lighty by TKO.
Michael Rome reports: "Antwain Britt won when the doctor wouldn't let it continue after a round. Britt knocked him down over and over, Lighty could barely stand after a round."

I have no choice
I have to go with Strikeforce. I can get Showtime were I’m staying at (still have to order it) but Versus isn’t available.
Not really choosing, persay
Watching Strikeforce live at a friend’s house and DVRing WEC at my house because he gets Showtime and I get Versus. Go figure..

I flew out of Thursday LA. It’s like the Gift of the Magi.
4 fights a letdown..
hopefully showtime will thow an extra fight to fill in the extra time slot… dont see to many of the main card fights going to desicion…
I think at least five will air
I’m guessing they didn’t want to commit to a potentially awful undercard fight, so this way they can just show whatever fight/s end up delivering.

The guy’s announcing delivery style is so awkward I can just never get used to it. He kind of creeps me out to be honest.

It’s surprisingly difficult to keep your hands up when throwing kicks, especially in the middle of a fight when you’re paying attention to other things.

I get that, but my gym taught me to keep them up (whether it’s left or right) from day one. So for me it feels weird to drop my arms when throwing a kick.
Food goes in here
Because that's what they're taught.
Muay Thai teaches you to swing down your corresponding arm while performing a kick as a counter weight. It keeps you balanced and makes the impact harder while, yes, leaving you open.
In arts like Karate and TKD, they teach you to keep your arms up when throwing kicks, but those are quick snap kicks that hit your opponent using your foot while Thai kicks are swooping, hard kicks using your shins to hit your opponent.

Josh Thomson vs. BJ is a fight I’d like to see. I think Thomson’s front kick and high class all round game is something that could pose some…slight problems for Melendez.
Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.
I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.
I just saw how Thomson used the front kick in his first fight with Melendez and his leg is longer than BJs jab and it would be something Penn hasn’t really encountered.

He’d most likely get destroyed, but I’d rather see it than Gray Maynard or Frankie Edgar.

Wow, didn’t expect this from Gilbert after the 1st. He was getting beaten to the punch consistently.

this is a great fight and a great comeback from Melendez, but even before the low bow, he was doing his thing already. I think thomson has recovered 100% though, it didn’t look like it hit right on the balls, looked like it hit more close to the gut.

they should just do
Jacaré vs Le next, fuck it, take him out already
cagar é uma filosofia profunda...
a merda bate na água e a água bate na bunda.
Note to Cung Le:
Kick him in the body again. Then do it again. And again.
I specializes in grammar fail.
10-9 Le
It’s like watching a better, smaller Sokouldou
Officially now the head of the Lobstein bandwagon.
seriously though, he wouldn’t be able to do those spinning back kicks against top 10 fighters

Maybe broken arms don’t hurt him?

haha, see, Cung Le should learn to finish a fight, this is what happens when you have several chances to put a fight away and can’t
"A champion is someone who gets up when he can't." - Jack Dempsey
obviously not by ground and pound KO
I’m sure he could ko someone standing; but I’m talking about “finishing a fight” when the guy doesn’t just fall over dead from the feet. I wasn’t saying all his fights go to decision. Don’t get your panties in a bunch.

Scott Smith may not be a particularly skilled or technical fighter, but man he sure is a classy dude – even remembered to give a subtle shout-out for his sponsor lol.

Anyone lined up to fight him needs to work takedowns and submissions for 6 months and it’s a guaranteed win. Go spaz on him, clinch, takedown, submit. 2 minutes tops.
Cung Le's GNP...
was like one of those made for tv re-enactments….i think he was waiting for the director to yell cut.
Not to mention his choke
It can either be called the Le Signature Guillotine, or the Wayne Brady Choke
The Wayne Brady Signature Rear Naked Guillotine a Bitch Choke
