Sarah Kaufman’s post-fight speech was great:
“Alexis Davis – I knew she would come in tough. She was going to come in to fight and that’s what you guys want to see, right? A fight! You don’t want to see two girls parading around, not fighting, just talking. I’m going to come, I’m going to fight! I’m going to have that title. Its my title. So look out who has it!
At this stage of the game, I’ll face whoever’s going to come to fight. So whoever fights tonight, that’s who I want because they have the title and its my title.”

POS Nazi Sex Offender. Nice to see Strikeforce keeping things clean and on the up and up. Nothing like giving the people who hate MMA more ammunition.
Wow was Kaufman vs Davis a war!
They should be ranked top 2 in the world after that performance.
What an inspiring fight!
Canadian Chicks Rule!
Added Sarah Kaufman’s post-fight speech to the results. I thought it was great.
Shame on ZUFFA!
Well-loved!

So Jacare gets stood up for a glancing blow to the back of the head but Bristol can have a death grip on the fence and not get anything?!?
Can we say ‘biased’?!?
It’s cuz Bristol and the ref have a tattoo connection.
He let the cage grabbing go to even out the headbutt
There’s no rule against ‘head butting the shoulder’. I know a few people who still use head buts to the chest to soften someone up from inside their guard.

PS – Can someone tell Frank that it isn’t a Gill-o-teen.
He also thinks “heighth” is a word.
Side note: I will buy dinner for any fighter on here if he thanks the scientific method and trial and error instead of jesus.
I didn’t think headbutting anywhere was allowed, including the body?
I want to see a Jesus fighter lose and bitch him out for not having his back.
Well-loved!

I’d have to pull the rules to review again but I’m 90% certain there is nothing specific about head butting excluding to the head.
Headbutting anywhere (head or body) is illegal.
I know Oli Thompson got warned for it last night, I remember Jon Jines being warned a few times as well recently.
Jon Jones (man I hate My phone sometimes…lol)
From the Unified Rules, not sure if Ohio has anything different for butting.
Butting with the head;
Any use of the head as a striking instrument whether head to head, head to body or otherwise is illegal.

Unified Rules of MMA
It’s foul rule #3, any Use of the head as a striking instrument whether head to head, or head to body or otherwise is illegal.
Damn, apparently I’m too slow a typer/Internet user. MAD beat me to it !
you’re on a phone. Pound for Pound you still found it faster.
My bad. Like I said I’d have to go to the rules to be sure.
FYI – I think Misaki won that fight.
I agree, Misaki won that fight
Not sure why, but I’m surprised KJ Noons doesn’t have a tramp stamp
I’m kinda surprised that KJ Noons doesn’t have a belly tattoo that says KJN! ;)
That would be dumb, he should get MAD on his abs
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!
what an armbar!
Just a reminder to everybody that we will be going live for our Strikeforce Post show.

Wicked armbar. Looks like Ronda has been doing her homework.
Wow that arm looked like it snapped the first time, second time was so bad! I love the killer instinct.

rousey,s stand up still needs improvement…but a beast on the ground…tates arm look like a chicken wing….beautiful , sexy and mean!
She obviously got in Tate’s head, as robin stated.
The Ninja of Love is still the most sexy MMA fighter at 135 lbs. Period.
Mein vs Daley anyone?
I imagine Misaki would be kept for the winner of T Wood and Nate the Great..??
