Strikeforce – June 6

HVY

Andrei Arlovski [5] vs. Brett Rogers [28]

MMA Records: Arlovski (15-6); Rogers (9-0)
Result: Rogers winner by 1st round TKO. Rogers rises to 8. Arlovski drops to 9.
This was not the same Arlovski that fought Fedor. He overlooked a legit Brett Rogers and his glass chin paid the price.

205

Mike Whitehead [26] vs. Kevin Randleman [NR]

MMA Records: Whitehead (23-6); Randleman (17-12)
Result: Whitehead winner by unanimous decision. Whitehead rises to 23.
Randleman is trying to evolve his game but he forgot his wrestling in this one.

Rafael Cavalcante [30] vs. Mike Kyle

MMA Records: Cavalcante (7-1); Kyle (11-6-1)
Result: Kyle winner by 2nd round TKO. Kyle debuts at 35. Cavalcante drops to 37.

185

Robbie Lawler [7] vs. Jake Shields [NR]

MMA Records: Lawler (18-4); Shields (22-4-1)
Result: Shields winner by 1st round submission (guillotine choke). Shields debuts at 7. Lawler drops to 10.
If Shields get a hold of anyone, they’re in trouble. He’s the Strikeforce version of Demian Maia.

Scott Smith [19] vs. Nick Diaz [32]

MMA Records: Smith (16-5); Diaz (19-7)
Result: Diaz winner by 3rd round submission (rear-naked choke). Diaz rises to 20. Smith drops to 29.
Diaz is on fire right now. His MMA boxing is incredible.

170

Joe Riggs [NR] vs. Phil Baroni

MMA Records: Riggs (29-10); Baroni (13-10)
Result: Riggs winner by unanimous decision. Riggs debuts at 67.
I’m always amazed at Baroni’s chin. Maybe the best in the sport. But Riggs racks up the win with improved striking.

WEC 41 – June 7

155

Donald Cerrone [51] vs. James Krause

MMA Records: Cerrone (9-1); Krause (10-0)
Result: Cerrone winner by 1st round submission (rear-naked choke). Cerrone rises to 48.

Anthony Pettis vs. Mike Campbell

Result: Pettis winner by 1st round submission (triangle choke). Pettis debuts at 95.
Pettis looks to be an intriguing prospect.

145

Mike Brown [1] vs. Urijah Faber [2]

MMA Records: Brown (21-4); Faber (22-2)
Results: Brown winner by unanimous decision. Brown stays at 1. Faber stays at 2.
More impressed by Faber fighting for 4 rounds with his elbows because his hands were broken than i was with Brown getting a decision win.

Jose Aldo [7] vs. Cub Swanson [24]

MMA Records: Aldo (14-1); Swanson (13-2)
Result: Aldo winner by 1st round TKO. Aldo rises to 3. Swanson drops to 26.
Holy Sh*t!!! Aldo is a dangerous, dangerous man. Just as deadly as Anderson Silva. Awesome!!

I hate to admit it but i”m finally convinced Pulver is done.
