War On The Mainland coverage

Star-divide

Miesha Tate talks winning the women's welterweight tournament.
Tim "The Maine-iac" Sylvia talks about winning the Powerhouse World Promotions heavyweight strap. The former two time UFC champ defeated Paul Buentello via KO late in the second round.
Ryan Couture talks winning his pro debut over Lucas Stark with a triangle choke.
"I thought there were some really good fights. You know, it was pretty funny having four girls that are primarly, you know, grapplers and wrestlers and judoka and capoeira, so there wasn't a lot of striking. So it really was, you know, kind of a battle of attrition...It looks like I'm fighting Marloes Coenen, is what I've been told. You know, look for me before the end of the year, for sure," stated Strikeforce women's welterweight champion Sarah Kaufman as she shared her thoughts on the outcome of the Strikeforce women's welterweight tournament.
Matt Horwich moments after he submitted former UFC fighter and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu specialist Thales Leites. Known for his unique perspective on MMA and the universe, Horwich waxes philosophical about the win, quantum physics and poetry. He also shares his thoughts on the joys of living life and training with renowned BJJ coach Eddie Bravo.
"Literally, it's a dream come true, I mean, I came here on a mission and I feel like I made very few mistakes and I accomplished my goal and now, it's on to step two, which is getting that belt and hopefully it's with Sarah Kaufman," stated Strikeforce women's welterweight tournament winner Miesha Tate as she talked about her recent victories and a future clash with reigning Strikeforce women's welterweight champion Sarah Kaufman.
"It was a great show. I think the female tournament proved itself. We have a couple of good up-and-coming girls, like Miesha, who won the tournament, but also, I think Akano rose in stock today. And Joe Riggs definitely increased his stock and he'll probably be back and I'm looking forward to Joe fighting again soon...The King Mo fight, you never know what you're gonna get. This guy is amazing...he's a guy who's developed his hands, his hands feet; he's committed to becoming a well-rounded mixed martial artist and not just a wrestler, so with him, you never know," stated Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker as he shared his thoughts on last Friday's Strikeforce Challengers card and discussed this weekend's upcoming Strikeforce Houston card.
"One thing I wasn't too impressed with tonight, and unfortunately it appears to be a common thread in mixed martial arts these days, refereeing was a little shoddy in some of the stand-ups, and even the way they interfered with some of the action. Unfortunately, it's still a work in progress," stated Strikeforce commentator Mauro Ranallo as he shared his thoughts on last Friday's Strikeforce Challengers card.

That stand-up was depressing

As was the near stand-up during the RNC.

Joe Riggs is the best interview in MMA. Would love to see a rematch with Diaz.

Riggs knows that he needs a high profile fight to get onto the main card of the big show so I understand him calling out Diaz but I think there are a few guys that would be a better fight vs Diaz then him even with the rivalry, Diaz has improved heaps since their fight and Riggs? Not so much

Joe Riggs looks like a clone of the late, great, Jack Palance
