justincohee.blogspot.com via @JustinCohee &bull TodayWith most of my posts dealing with the UFC I'm going to be spending most of this post discussing what else is going in the wonderful world of MMA.

Lawler could get a big KO here or Nakamura could maybe use his judo and ground work to pull off an upset. Winner moves up in Strikeforce's best division.-Josh Thomson vs. Lyle Beerbohm These are the clear top two contenders for Gilbert Melendez's title. Beerbohm is… Full Story »
