As with every major show, BloodyElbow.com will be here to bring you live results and commentary for Strikeforce: Los Angeles. The live blog will start with the beginning of the Showtime broadcast (at 11PM ET) so make sure to make Bloody Elbow your home for this event.
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.
The Showtime broadcast is live. First fight up shortly.
K.J. Noons vs. Conor Heun - Round 1 - Heun comes out quick and tries for a takedown that gets stuffed. Noons is circling and counters a right hand with a crisp punch. Noons avoids another takedown and Heun just misses the head kick. Noons is working the jab now. Uppercut lands for Heun. Uppercut from Noons now. Noons back to the jab. Body kick blocked by Noons, now a good left hook from Heun. Heun is getting busted up with punches now. Quick takedown by Heun and he has Noons' back. Now into the full mount. Heun landing some good punches now. Noons sacambling but can't get up and again has his back taken. Noons finally manages to get back to his feet. Noons drops Heun with a right hand at the end of the round. Very close round, Noons controlled early then Heun on the ground but the right hand at the end of the round may have secured it for Noons. Round 2 - More of the same standing as Noons is picking him apart with punches that the announcers are mostly ignoring because they're not flashy big punches. Heun lands a hook. Left hook from Noons. Knee to the body from Noons. Trip attempt from Heun. Left hook from Noons. Two punches from Noons has Heun hurt. Heun is firing back now. and he connects and makes Noons back off. Body shot from Noons and a knee to the body from Heun. Noons is blowing him up with a left hook. The round ends with a Heun takedown, but a clear 10-9 round for Noons. Round 3 - Noons avoiding the takedown early and landing a few punches. Heun is moving forward a lot but he isn't landing much while Noons is landing harder, cleaner, straighter punches. Head kick from Heun after he eats a knee. Two big left hooks land for Noons. Noons with a combo to the body and he slips a punch. Noons is eating him alive but the announcers are making it sound like a very close fight and they're painting the wrong picture of what is going on. Heun with a knee to the body that lands solidly. Heun tries for the takedown but can't get it. Noons landing some big shots again. Heun fails on the takedown again and just misses with a right hand. The round ends and I've got the fight 30-27 Noons. Official Scorecards: 30-27 Heun, 29-28 Noons, 29-28 Noons. K.J. Noons wins by split decision. That Heun scorecard is impossible to defend. That is absurd judging.
Tim Kennedy vs. Trevor Prangley - Round 1 - Right hand from Kennedy and he starts to work for the takedown. Prangley does a very good job of defending and uses a hip toss to get a takedown of his own but Kennedy is able to scramble to standing right away. Back to pushing for the takedown now is Kennedy. Again, Prangley reverses with a trip of his own but Kennedy gets right up and now gets a solid double leg. Kennedy in Prangley's half guard. Kennedy slips into full mount very slickly. Kennedy with some punches and now takes the back. Prangley is standing up with Kennedy on his back. Tim sinks in the choke and Prangley has to tap out. Tim Kennedy wins by submission (rear naked choke), round 1. Very impressive showing for Kennedy.
Marius Zaromskis vs. Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos - Round 1 - Zaromskis with a punch and Cyborg with a combo back. Cyborg rocks him with a punch and tries to follow up but Zaromskis looks like he is okay. Head kick from Zaromskis and then a body kick. This is already fun. Head kick from Zaromskis misses. Now they trade punches with both men landing hard. Head kick from Cyborg hurts Zaromskis, now they're both throwing and Cyborg drops him! It's over! Wow! Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos wins by TKO (punches), round 1.
Renato "Babalu" Sobral vs. Robbie Lawler - Round 1 - Low kick from Babalu and now he tries for a body lock. No action as they clinch against the cage so they're restarted and Lawler hurts him with a left hand. Now they're clinched against the cage again but this time Lawler reverses and manages to get back to distance. Low kick from Babalu and he gets a takedown. Lawler scrambles and gets briefly caught in a guillotine but escapes back to his feet. Body kick by Lawler and he slips and is on his back with Babalu on top. Babalu looks for the d'arce but Lawler escapes and they're standing again. They clinch up and Sobral lands a knee and then gets out to distance. The round ends and it's 10-9 Babalu. Round 2 - Lawler more aggressive coming out and he lands a few punches. Sobral looks for a single and Lawler keeps his balance on one leg and lands several punches. Lawler is starting to land the left hand now and if he gets a rhythm going he may take this over. Babalu throws a few punches and a kick and Lawler pretends that he is hurt and then smiles. Babalu landing a few kicks and punches now. Babalu misses the connection on a head kick. Nice body kick from Babalu. Leg kick from Babalu and now he shoots for the double but Lawler defends. He looks gassed though. Jab from Lawler lands. Left hand from Sobral. Right hand from Babalu and a knee to the head. Babalu landing much better now and Lawler looks in trouble. Right hand from Lawler. The round ends and it was another Babalu round. Round 3 - They're both landing punches early in the round. Babalu with the single leg, can't get it and lands a punch. Lawler landing the jab now. Uppercut from Lawler. Spinning backfist from Sobral is blocked. Body shot from Sobral and Lawler's body is hurting him. Two big punches from Lawler. Jab from Lawler. Lawler trying to stalk here in the last minute, he needs to find a knockout here. The round ends and despite some good last minute work from Lawler I have it 30-27 Sobral. Official Scorecards: 29-28 across the board for Renato "Babalu" Sobral.

Babalu is a scary looking motherfucker
He’s got the kind of cold, dead stare that makes him look like a serial killer.
Let’s hope he stays away from the pyro tonight

I can understand people having Rogers with round one
The punches Fedor threw on the feet were mostly blocked and with the sweeps you could make the argument. But with the ending it still means Fedor won.

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.

They comment on a glancing headkick
but no words for that uppercut. Awesome.

I agree
..BUT, they were both really close rounds and even in the third, while Rory was getting positively DESTROYED, they were making comments about how impressed they are with his poise and how experienced he seems. I hate how Rogan picks a side and then Goldberg rides him on it. It’s absolutely painful and I was totally rooting for Condit more and more as the fight went on.

Disagree
Heun won that round on the ground. The punch at the buzzer makes it really close though; if they decide to call that a knockdown it might be a 10-10 round.
How was that not a knockdown? 4 minutes of busting a guy up on a feet gets you the round.

I think given 10-15 cards a year to announce, he would be one of the better ones.
The announcers are doing an amazing job of ignoring good work done by Noons with more technical punches because they’re enthralled by wild, wide punches from Heun.

Mentioning Werdum beating Overeem
Does SF make a big deal of this (justifying Fedor v Werdum instead of Fedor v Overeem?) It kinda makes the belt seem silly if you try and promote Fedor v Werdum as the two best. But SF also will need to hype Overeem once Fedor (presumably) beats Werdum.

Diaz is a bad matchup for him
Zaromskis has no length; a guy with a huge reach advantage who is a good boxer and can pepper him with jabs from the outside is a really bad matchup. Z is better against grapplers/mediocre boxers who he can get inside and head hunt against.

What?
He took a high kick to the head that clearly stunned him, he was hurt before the final shots. He took a bunch of big shots.
Was rocked twice in the first round.
Every time I watch the guy fight, I always worry that he’s going to get KO’d. He is reckless without a solid chin.
I think hes got an OK chin, just wildly reckless. But thats why I love him. Dude clearly doesn’t care about being KOed.
I love watching the dude fight, don't get me wrong.
He just has a below average chin to go along with his insanely reckless fighting.
I’m probably more pissed he cost me money than anything else.

I don’t want to punch him in the face.
A famous one-liner isn't what Mauro does.
I am not a fan of how Schiavello does it, but when he does it its like a signature Home Run call in baseball. Same deal every time. Mauro changing it around makes it seem cheaper and that he is just trying to get a part of the action.
Yep. Pretty much.

Strikeforce seems happy with that
With the Mauro voice-overs for the Fedor v. Werdum promo they showed earlier in the broadcast, they seem to be indicating a desire to make Mauro the voice and part of the brand. He definitely has a strong ally in Showtime somewhere.
So contrived, too. He probably thought of it while shitting.

Mousasi destroys Babalu, so if Babalu wins his next fight it gets him a title shot. Jacare seems to be more on a path to title shot than Babalu…
Fedor destroys the top contender, which gets him another ?contenders? match?
And the guy he destroyed got a title shot.

This is a good fight so far.
Lawlor fending off Babalu’s takedowns demonstrates a huge weakness if Babalu’s game though.
two flawed fighters
there is a reason they are fighting in Strikeforce and not the UFC.
Lawler is fun when Scott Smith is out there throwing hands with him but a fighter with more than one dimension to him? Not so much . . .
Vote Quimby
Does Lawler think this is a 5 round fight?

Lawler needs to get busy.
His boxing isn’t spectacular. His kickboxing isn’t spectacular. His pace and transitions aren’t spectacular. His power and anti-wrestling is just about all he’s got. How do we keep forgetting this?

Shocking really, it’s such an obvious bad match up.

When Lawler pressured and let his hands go it went like I expected. But he didn’t have the gas to do it enough.

I thought it was a good matchup for him.
And it played out that Babalu couldn’t take him down, and if someone said it was going to be 100% standing I think everyone picks Lawlor, right?
about time lawlor worked
should have done this a round ago. He may have lost both first and second round already

Well, Strikeforce’s best laid plans seem to have been screwed over again. Babalu aint fighting Mo.
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.
What's all this talk about Mo/Sobral?
What the fuck about Rafael Feijao?

King Mo vs Babalu
Anyone hyped for this? Injuries keep Babalu from this fight? I’d be excited for it.
Feijao?

How does no fighter call out support for the Lakers?
Come on, KOS had the sense to make himself a heel by bucking the Canucks. If Babalu came out and said “Go Lakers” it would’ve been easily the biggest cheer of the night.
Because the Lakers aren't winning tomorrow night
Ron Artest ain’t going to be competent two games in a row.

It doesn't matter.
SF is a California promotion. Thursday night is the biggest night in California sports in a long time. Long time. LA vs Boston is big news; Phil Jackson has never coached a game seven. Game sevens in the NBA finals are rare these days (2 since mid-90s).
Just good marketing of a fighter to tell him to say “Beat Boston” or “Go LA”.
I understand
Just joking. Phil has coached a game seven before, just never in an NBA Finals.

Yea thats what I meant
I stand corrected. Its just a testament to the fact Jordan never played in a game 7, and I think the only other winning game 7 teams of the last 15 years are the Rockets and Spurs; we haven’t had a game-dominating-player like Kobe in a game 7 in a long time.
The UFC does such a better job marketing/branding their fighters its rediculous. Your fighting in a building within a short distance of the Staples center and you can’t even try to associate yourself with other big LA sports? I could understand if SF was a global/national promotion, but its essentially a California gig.
