As with every major show, BloodyElbow.com will be here to bring you live results and commentary for Strikeforce: Houston. The live blog will start with the beginning of the Showtime broadcast (at 10PM EST) 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.
After some initial uncertainty we will start the liveblog with the Sherdog stream at 9:00 PM EST.
The Sherdog live stream is live. First fight up shortly.
Andre Galvao vs. Jorge Patino - Round 1 - Galvao misses a head kick, Patino flurries back with a combo that misses. Galvao shoots in and Patino defends well early. Galvao pulls the legs out and has Patino sitting against the cage. Patino looks to get butterfly guard and takes some big punches from Galvao. Show to the body by Galvao and he passes to side control. Knees to the body and butt by Andre and he takes the back. Patino attempts to stand and Galvao gets a hook in and Patino is able to slip out to standing. Leg kick by Patino countered with a right hand. Left hook by Galvao hits right behind the ear. Patino with a big right hand that hurts Galvao and now Patino follows him to the ground with a flurry of strikes. Drops him again as he attempts to stand up. Patino makes him stand up and lands a big left and a flurry of punches. Galvao is tired and hurt, he dives for a takedown and Patino is on top in half guard. The round ends and Patino really took it over at the end. 10-9 Patino.
Round 2 -Galvao looks a bit tired still and it's hard to tell from the webstream but I think his eye is bothering him. Flurry from Patino misses. Galvao looking for a single leg and he's now going for a double, really driving in. Galvao gets the takedown and throws some punches but well defended by Patino. Into half guard now. Galvao looking to pass to mount and Patino gets butterfly guard. More punches blocked by Patino. Patino looking to stand up and gives up his back. Galvao throwing punches to the head. Patino moves and Galvao slips off and they're standing again. Galvao shoots and manages to get the takedown.

Round 3 -Uppercut from Patino misses. Same three strike combo misses for Patino and Galvao gets the takedown. Galvao moving for an arm triangle but he can't lock it in. Patino attempts to stand and ends up giving up his back. Punches to the head from Galvao. Patino took the fight on a week notice and it's showing as he looks exhausted. A few more punches land and the referee stops the fight. Really questionable stoppage. Patino wasn't going to win but there was no reason for a stoppage there. Andre Galvao wins by TKO (strikes), round 3.
Daniel Cormier vs. Jason Riley - Round 1 - Cormier shoots and Riley avoids early, using his height well. Cormier keeps pushing forward. Right hand by Cormier and Riley goes down and covers up. Cormier follows him down and pounds him out quickly. Looks like Riley tapped out. Daniel Cormier wins by submission (strikes), round 1.
The Showtime broadcast is live. First fight of main card up shortly.
Bobby Lashley vs. Chad Griggs - Round 1 - Lashley with a quick takedown and quickly passes to side control. Griggs can't kick off the cage to escape. Lashley landing some punches and looking for a crucifix. Griggs looking to stay composed but he's taking a bit of a beating so far. Lashley still looking for the crucifix. Griggs is just trying to stall and find a way out, now turning so he's in north-south. Lashley back to side control. Griggs escapes to his feet and Lashley with another takedown and is in Griggs' half guard. Again they're in north south and again Griggs escapes to standing and knees Lashley in the chest. Lashley hitting the body in the clinch. Griggs with an uppercut and Lashley with another takedown. Lashley is cut BADLY! Griggs is hitting him a lot from his back and the round ends. 10-9 Lashley but he's not reacting well to the cut.
Round 2 - Lashley with a big double leg again right away. He's still bleeding and Griggs is targeting the cut with his punches from the bottom. Pass to side control for Bobby again. Lashley keeps throwing big punches from side control but not with a lot of aim. Lashley to mount and he's throwing punches butn not landing. One punch lands and Griggs tries to use the cage to escape. Lashley is gassing and he's not taking advantage of mount here. The ref stops them to check the cut. Oh, he restarts them standing. Lashley with an awful shoot and he's exhausted. Griggs is drilling him and Lashley can't even stand up as the round ends. The ref waives it off as Lashley quits! Chad Griggs wins by TKO (retirement), round 2.
KJ Noons vs. Jorge Gurgel - Round 1 - Right hand by Gurgel lands right away. Body kick from Gurgel. Head kick just misses for Jorge. Leg kick from Noons. Noons looking to use the jab. Leg kick from Gurgel. Body shot from Noons. Great body shot by Noons. Gurgel misses a high kick. Nice jab, body shot, left hook combo from Noons. Right hand lands hard for Noons. Gurgel throwing combos but he's starting to miss more often now. They trade leg kicks. Uppercut by Noons lands. Gurgel shoots and can't get the takedown. Great body shots again from Noons. The bell rings as they're exchanging and Gurgel goes down just after the bell. THat was a huge hook. 10-9 Noons even without the hook.
Round 2 - Right hand, left hook and Gurgel goes down! A few more strikes and then an illegal knee and the ref jumps in. I'm not sure if the illegal knee will mean a DQ or not but the fight should have been stopped before then. Let's see the ruling. KJ Noons wins by TKO (strikes), round 2. The ref was coming in for the stoppage before the knee so that makes sense I guess.
Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza vs. Tim Kennedy - Round 1 - Both men trying to find their range early. Big hook from Jacare lands and now a series of punches in the clinch land for him. Head kick from Kennedy is blocked. Left hook lands for Kennedy now. Right straight for Kennedy lands but is countered with a leg kick. Jacare is throwing with big power and now Kennedy counters with an overhand right. Jacare goes body/head. They both land and Jacare slips but he's back to his feet. The bell rings and while it was a good round I'd score it 10-9 Jarcare.
Round 2 - Kennedy comes in fast and gets tagged with two punches. Kennedy comes in with a nice combination that lands. Nice right hand counter lands for Jacare. They exchange big shots with Jacare landing a little bit harder. Hard leg kick from Kennedy lands and another about thirty seconds later. Jacare shoots finally but can't get it. Superman punch from Tim lands. Push kick to the face for Jacare and the round ends. Another close one but I'd bo 10-9 Jacare again.
Round 3-Jacare looking to clinch up a little more it seems. Leg kick lands for Kennedy. Superman punch lands again for Kennedy. Kennedy is trying to use feints to close distance but Jacare throws a few punches to back him off. Bad cut over Kennedy's left eye. Jacare lands a few punches and a push kick and he's just winning this fight on the feet which is really impressive. Kennedy with a nice trip takedown and Jacare uses the cage to spin and stands up. Nice inside hook counter by Jacare and this is a very good round for him. The round ends and I've got Jacare winning all three rounds which means Kennedy would need a stoppage to win the fight.
Round 4 - Right hand lands for Kennedy. Kennedy misses with a superman punch and Jacare shoots under it but Kennedy sprawls beautifully to avoid the takedown. Leg kick and a superman punch from Kennedy. Right hand lands for Jacare as a counter. Right hand counter as Kennedy tries to flurry. Now an accidental low blow on a kick from Kennedy and Gurgel is given time to recover. Kennedy has a bad mouse under his left eye, the same one that is cut. Kennedy shoots and Jacare defends. Kennedy having his best round here and he throws another leg kick. The round ends and I have it 10-9 Kennedy to make the fight 39-37 so far for Jacare.
Round 5 - Kennedy lands a left hand. Another left hook from Kennedy and Jacare answers with a few nice jabs. Nice punch from Jacare as Kennedy misses the shot. Body kick from Kennedy. Jacare winging bombs that miss the mark. Nice left hook from Jacare and he clinches up with Kennedy against the cage. Jacare takes Kennedy's back after Kennedy missed a punch. Kennedy escapes to standing though. Beautiful right hand by Jacare. Kennedy with a takedown but Jacare stands right back up. 10-9 Jacare on my card to give him a 49-46 win.
Official Scorecards: 49-46, 48-47, 48-47. Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza wins by unanimous decision.
Muhammad "King Mo" Lawal vs. Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante - Round 1 - Feijao throwing hands early and now Mo flurries and shoots a double but Feijao with some nice defense. Mo with a nice slam and Feijao pops right back up. Mo looking loose in his striking, using a jab. Body kick by Feijao. Nice jab by Feijao. Feijao keeps using the jab. Big uppercut from Feijao and a knee and Mo tries for a takedown but can't get it. Feijao with some punches and knees that have Mo backing up. Mo is already breathing a little bit harder than you'd like to see in round 1 of a 5 round fight. Right hand just misses for Feijao. Hard leg kick by Feijao. The round ends and while I doubt a lot of people will agree with me I'd say 10-9 Feijao.
Round 2 - Mo flinging punches to get in close but Feijao avoids most of them and circles out of the clinch. Hard leg kick from Feijao. Hard kick lands for Feijao and Mo with a big takedown into Feijao's guard and Feijao pushes him away and gets up. Mo now landing some nice combinations to the body. Feijao with a jab. Mo with a nice combination against the cage. Feijao misses the head kick and Mo lands a few more punches. Jab from Feijao again and that's his most consistent punch. Mo keeps going to the body which is great. 10-9 Mo.
Round 3 - Right hand from Feijao hurts Mo and another and now a knee form Feijao. Mo hard to the body. Huge knees from the clinch by Feijao and Mo is hurt badly!. Mo drives forward for a takedown after going down. Feijao busting him up with elbows the the side of the head and Mo slumps down after a ton of unanswered elbows to the head. It's over! Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante wins by TKO (strikes), round 1.

If Derek Jeter clubbed a baby seal on earth day while wearing a mink coat and crocodile skin boots while burning tires on an iceberg, the reaction would be "Its OK Derek, you’re a Yankee." -First mammal to wear pants
I've got all the obvious picks
King Mo
Jacare (maybe not so obvious)
Noons
Lashley
Cormeir
Matt Hughes has some serious "mentally challenged" strength applying a choke to Ricardo Almeida’s neck strong enough to squeeze a turd out of his other end.
Jacare is far from an obvious pick.
He’s facing a guy with solid TDD and heavy hands – think Marquardt/Maia. Jacare is probably a better MMAist and overall athlete than Maia, but I think the comparison is still apt.

Jacare’s striking is well above anything Maia has ever shown. I think Kennedy will be done by the end of round 2.

Because of the Sherdog live stream of Cormier and Galvao, I think it’s safe to say that there’s no worries about undercard bouts making the broadcast unless Draculino gets a sub in half a second.

I got so much joy watching Henry miss that sitter
All of the shots he’s missed makes me think he’s better suited for TFC.
Toronto FC - Where road games are forfeited and we STILL have no idea how to play from behind.
Because frankly that was the only good thing we did
And knowing we never rally to win games and suck ass on the road we’re pretty much done for.

I'm happy Marquez had an amazing game.
And it’s nice to see the 3 dps play well together. Should have been 5-0 cause that goal Bouna let up was retarded soft and Henry should have put that shot in.

Pork in the slow-cooker. Soy & Worcestershire, red & cracked black pepper. In the wok with red peppers, mustard, and dark brown sugar. On a bun with havarti and lettuce. It will feed me for three days. Probably my favourite dish, right up there with a Thai pork curry I had ONE TIME, but that I will never forget.

It is that good. Pretty much as long as you have the base of mustard & brown sugar you can mix up the initial seasonings as much you like, but I like to keep it simple. And it’s easy as hell. Out of the slow-cooker, let it cool down until it doesn’t burn your fingers, then shred it thickly, and into the wok.

10-9 Patino
very awkward striking.

Not sure why Galvao seemed to split back to the feet once he’d recovered on the ground. Should have just tied things up there while he recovered.

He’s exhausted, and it was going to go on like that anyway. I was expecting Galvao to dominate against a guy on extremely short notice, but he looked… well… not so promising.

Cormier has style

For an Olympian. But an Olympic wrestler is an Olympic wrestler. Let’s go, Cormier!

Dude got his face broke

Yeah it was from that right.
He was covering his face before Cormier started his GnP.
If you fight, you fight. If you hope, you hope.
That right was, wow, that was heavy
You’re right, he was covering as soon as he hit the mat. Had to be from that right hand/

Oh he got hurt for sure...
but his other fights that he lost kind of went the same way. As soon as he was hurt he didn’t do anything but cover.

I remember Frank was willing to face Kimbo after Ken Shamrock couldn’t fight…and I remember thinking at the time that I didn’t think you could fight with braces.
GSP is an alien sent here to humiliate our men and mate with our women
It's a really bad idea
but plenty of HS wrestlers have braces with mouthguards. In fact, the NFHS had to make them mandatory for kids with braces to make sure they’d actually wear them.

Why does checking a cut result in Lashley losing position? Why does it have to start standing?

So, I know everybody hates Lashley, and I don’t like the guy either. But what about the five or six strikes right to the back of the head? He only went around on like two of those. Those were clearly right on the back of the head at the end. And they stood him up from mount.
As I type this, they’re showing him getting hit right in the back of the head.

Yes, he was.
It was several strikes, then hold him for a few, fend off the bucking. More strikes, hold him. He mixed it up exactly as you should. The definition of holding mount effectively. And then he didn’t get the position back so the “checking the cut” thing is kind of bullshit.

He was going to be fucked in the 3rd tho
But yeah he has an excuse.
I thought they were supposed to get their position back on that type of stoppage. I don’t think it hurt him even though he could probably stall in the mount for the rest of the round he would have been done for in round 3. If I was Griggs I would be more upset that they were stopping the action and giving Lashley a breather.

So the ref either ...
1. Stood Bobby up from fucking mount and decided to check the cut afterwards.
2. Checked the cut and restarted the fight standing
Absolute bullshit either way. Bobby won’t be a world beater but damn the ref was stupid.

And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

These Next Two Fights Should Make Up
…for the Lashley embarrassment and the ref not knowing when a guy is KO’d.
Except for the fact that it will likely involve Schorle in one of the bouts
Which will probably entail another disaster
Up into the point he kneed him while he was down
Perhaps it was a political statement on the current rule set in US MMA
Go Orange(men)!
I'd bet we'll see at least one awful standup
And maybe even a questionable stoppage.
Anyway, looking past that mess of a fight.
I liked KJ’s use of body shots that fight and his overall boxing, looked really slick.
Great point from Eddie Goldman on Twitter:

Also, you can’t write it off as unbiased commentary from the network when they are burying Jake Shields on his way out the door. Strikeforce=showtime.

Why do you think so?
I didn’t get that. I thought it was the closest round, but I’m amenable to persuasion.
If you fight, you fight. If you hope, you hope.
Other than the takedown I didn’t think Kennedy had a lot while Jacare landed nice counters and short hooks at times.

I still like Jacare to have won the round, but I think the judges have it three rounds to none for Kennedy
29-28 Jacare

That's fair...

I know what you mean but....
In the 3rd and 4th neither guy really landed any “solid” punches so I think it is ok to go off of punches landed if neither guy really rocked the other.
Well, consider this.
If I go and jab you 200 times, do almost no damage and you punch me once, that floors me, but the round ends..
What?
Two takedowns that didn’t lead to anything and he got outstruck most of the fight.

Their marketing machine is limited though
They don’t have the resources to really market the full story lines like the UFC does. They have some internet ads and fifteen second commercials. They try to use their limited resources for pushing stars. I always feel like its a desperation move. They don’t get countdown shows or free shows on Spike.

Yeah, their limitations in that department are pretty crippling in terms of creating stars. It’ll be interesting to see where they go from here with their 205lbs division. No one sticks out as a challenger for the title and a rematch would be an incredibly tough sell.
Prop up a win for Moussasi and send him in against Feijao? It would be a hell of an exciting fight, that’s for sure, and if Moussasi were to win he might get back a little of his luster.

I have never been wowed by any Strikeforce card. Bellator has had some doozies.
Bellator
Ok, at their last event they started their fights ridiculously late and had to put prelims after the main event. They had the Hornbuckle fight out of order (I think, although for some reason I can’t remember for sure) and their microphone went out at the weigh ins. They have their fuck ups, but they have garnered more good will from the fans.

It’s an easy narrative to follow and linear match making. I know I’m in the minority but I’m not a huge fan of tournaments, but I understand why it works for a promotion like Bellator.
My issue with them is, that while SF is somewhat incompetent, Bellator is downright shady in the way they deal with fighters.

Strikeforce has had tons of success with co-promotion. Which leads me to believe that Rebney doesn’t want that.

the people that hate on SF like that consider UFC a sport
SF is just something else
the following two things are signs of weaknesses:
stay silent when it's needed to speak up, and speak up when it's needed to stay silent.
Don't be silly
When a UFC underdog wins and gains star status they are pretty much invariably significantly better fighters then Feijao and actually worthy of star status.

Be serious
Name one underdog turned star in the UFC that wasn’t much more highly regarded and ranked then Feijao is?
Please actually make a valuable comment instead of pointless laughing or caricaturing me as a hater because you disagree with me if possible.

And by the way
Yes, every fighter in the modern day UFC that get’s a title shot is very good, and most fighters outside of the UFC are inferior to their counterparts under the Zuffa umbrella.

and Feijao looked improved….

the way rankings work is people who don’t know shit about MMA get to vote.

mos wrestling looked bad against feijao who looked huge
i see mo struggling with jones’ size and getting dominated

Because Jones hasn’t gotten his big fight yet.

Jones is another overhyped fighter
only time will acknowledge this though, so for now I’m a hater.
the following two things are signs of weaknesses:
stay silent when it's needed to speak up, and speak up when it's needed to stay silent.

Delusional.

That wasn’t much to do with wrestling. Mo tried to box with a slugger.

he did try to take him down quite a few times
got stuffed with a few, and the ones he was successful in taking down he didn’t do much with it.

Roller was a reverse specialist in college. he doesn’t have great TDs. Mo has shit standup and no jiu-jitsu. its incomplete fighters that have trouble, not all wrestlers

Yeah...
this feels like when Mo Smith beat Mark Coleman and the fans decided wrestling didn’t matter any more. It wasn’t that wrestling didn’t work, it’s that Coleman had nothing else to his game when it wasn’t working.

so wrestling has to incorporate other styles to be competitive in MMA? sounds like any other style that also needs to incorporate other styles to stay relevant… I don’t get this debate, at all…

Good english by Feijão
The Nogueira Camp really studies the language. Good for them!
he just hates his fans :p
the following two things are signs of weaknesses:

Not in the Nogueira Camp
They train at Black House ocasionally.
Look at the Nogs, JDS, Feijão, Arona. They all speak decent english.
He's not in the Nogueira Camp IIRC.
Blackhouse has the Silva, Nogueira and Machida camps. Feijao is in the Silva camp I think.
If you fight, you fight. If you hope, you hope.
yeah
that’s what I thought too, but then in the post fight interview he said thanks to his team by mentioning “Team Nogueira”, I must say I’m confused, maybe he changed teams?

my thoughts exactly
and this includes Dana White :p
the following two things are signs of weaknesses:
stay silent when it's needed to speak up, and speak up when it's needed to stay silent.
Fighters fight the same, no matter who their company is.
Strikeforce is just running their company poorly.
strikeforce champs / ufc champs
Strikeforce champs
Lw- wrestler
Ww-bjj/Thai boxer
Mw-bjj/ Thai boxer bjj base
Lhw-bjj/Thai boxer bjj base
Hw-bjj/Thai boxer bjj base
Ufc champs
Lw- wrestler (underdog for his rematch)
Ww- complete mma
Mw- Thai boxer / bjj
Lhw- Thai boxer/ bjj
Hw- wrestler /albino gorilla
Why are so many peeps actin like bjj/Thai boxing arent the best base skill sets? ? Wrasslin is awesome…. but bjj and Muay Thai are the best way to finish fights.
