Strikeforce Weigh-In Results: Gilbert Melendez vs. Jorge Masvidal

The final Strikeforce event for 2011 takes place Saturday in San Diego, CA, headlined by Strikeforce Lightweight Champion Gilbert Melendez vs. Jorge Masvidal with Women's Featherweight Champion Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos vs. the debuting Hiroko Yamanaka in the co-main event.

Friday's weigh-ins made the card official with all fighters making weight. The one anomaly was a prelim bout between Roger Bowling and Jerron Peoples which was made a 179-pound catchweight fight. Bowling is giving up 10.5 pounds to Peoples, so perhaps he simply didn't care what his opponent weighed. No word on whether Peoples is giving up any of his purse.

Can Melendez keep his streak going? Will Santos need more than a round in the cage to win? Comment below and let's hear what you have to say.

Main Event:

Lightweight Championship: Gilbert Melendez (155) vs. Jorge Masvidal (155)
Featherweight Championship: Cris Santos (145) vs. Hiroko Yamanaka (145)
205 lbs.: Gegard Mousasi (206) vs. Ovince St. Preux (206)
155 lbs.: Billy Evangelista (156) vs. K.J. Noons (156)

Prelims:

155 lbs.: Caros Fodor (156) vs. Justin Wilcox (156)
179 lb. catchweight: Roger Bowling (170) vs. Jerron Peoples (180.5)
265 lbs.: Devin Cole (248) vs. Gabriel Salinas-Jones (265)
145 lbs.: Fernando Gonzalez (186) vs. Eddie Mendez (186)
170 lbs.: Chris Brown (170) vs. Herman Terrado (170.5)

Come on Jerron Peoples, seriously? It’s not a MW fight.

10 LBS!!!

Almost considering laying money on him….

Wait, no I’m not. Did Mousassy look fat?

I'm sure he could shed some light on the issue...

Did you hit him in the bean bag? There’s no shame in attacking a criminal’s bean bag.

Yeah, but he’s slimmed down since then. I just know that he came in 10lbs over for one of his fights and the picture seemed relevant.

Cool, Chris brown is on this card? They should put him up against Cyborg, see how he fares against a girl that hits back.

And whose...

Oh wait, it was all a media ploy. Didn’t rhianna sell a buttload on songs about liking to get beat up and being hurt by previous lovers. Now this makes it seem more real for her followers, they have a back story they can think of when they hear her music. It’s like these producers are paid the big bucks to make stories that make big bucks.

This just in

Strikeforce has more ring card girls than fighters
