– Chael Sonnen.
I feel like the ref didn’t stop the fight because the shots you were hitting Anderson with seemed to have no effect. For evidence of this, check out your mangled face after the fight, in comparison the the champ’s unblemished visage. Although, your face seems to be stuck...

The goods: 3-rounders until the final, which will go 5-rounds for the “Strikeforce World Grand Prix Championship.” The Grand Prix Champion will get first shot at Overeem for the Strikeforce HW strap… unless the Demolition Man cleans house, in which case… uhh… they’ll have to clone him or something to give him a challenge.
Oh, and in case you were wondering,...
Japan Year in Review →
danielherbertson:
by Daniel HerbertsonThere is no way to spin it: 2010 was not a good year for Japanese fight sports. Ratings were at an all-time low, champions lost, stars left and Sakuraba’s ear came off.

It was an unforgettable year to be ringside in Asia: Alistair Overeem snotted on me at the K-1 Finals, two ears came off, I got hit...

Dan Hardy vs Anthony Johnson possible for March →
$100 says ‘Rumble’ misses weight. Not only does he make a habit of it more than a pre-Dolche Thiago Alves, but the last picture I saw of the guy he looked like he was about 220. That being said, once Johnson surrenders a percentage of his purse this is an interesting matchup.
