Bloody Elbow, for MMA and UFC news

Matt Hughes is not happy with Strikeforce removing Robbie Lawler from last weekend's Evolution card: "Last week I was in California with Robbie, Pena, and Foster, hoping they would find a replacement so Robbie could fight. It didn’t happen and I guess I’m just spoiled being with the UFC. From what I understand, Showtime really likes to stick their nose in Strikeforce’s business and because of that I don’t think that Strikeforce will be around for much longer; but enough with that."

Robbie Lawler off Strikeforce: 'Evolution' Card: "Strikeforce tried to find an opponent for Lawler, but FanHouse has learned that they have decided to keep him off the card.
