Titles on the Line, but No Hard Feelings at Strikeforce: Houston Press Conference
By Ben FowlkesPosted: Aug 19th 2010 6:13 PM
Even defending Strikeforce light heavyweight champion "King" Mo Lawal, who usually likes some trash talk to go along with his pre-fight press obligations, explained that he just couldn't work up the same animosity toward new challenger Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante that he had for Gegard Mousasi in his last fight.
"I respect Feijao," said Lawal. "We've trained with some of the same people. He's never questioned my character like Mousasi did. Mousasi was quick to go on record saying that I'm full of myself and I'm this and I'm that. Me and Feijao, we don't need to do that. We'll do that Saturday. We'll fight Saturday and have fun."
Gary Goodridge Says He Still Hasn't Been Paid for New Year's Eve Bout in Japan
By Ben FowlkesPosted: Aug 11th 2010 3:48 PM
"I'm pissed off. I'm fed up. I want my money," said the 44-year-old Goodridge. "Of course, you're like any other fighter at first, you stay quiet. You think, I stake my reputation and my whole career with these people. Of course they're gonna pay. Of course they're gonna pay, since my whole livelihood came from them in the last 13 years. Now it's eight months and it's quite obvious I'm not getting paid. So I'm going to open my mouth now."

Dream 15: Aoki, Mousasi Bounce Back With Big Wins
By Michael David SmithPosted: Jul 10th 2010 6:50 AM
In the main event, Dream lightweight champion Shinya Aoki submitted Tatsuya Kawajiri to retain his title, looking as good as he ever has three months after looking as bad as he ever had in a loss to Gilbert Melendez.
Aoki, wearing board shorts rather than his trademark spandex grappling pants, immediately took the fight to the ground and went for one of his signature foot lock submissions, twisting and turning Kawajiri's leg for a full minute on the ground before Kawajiri finally had to tap out. There was nothing more to it than that, as Aoki -- Japan's biggest MMA star -- did exactly what he wanted to do.

King Mo Crowned, Shields and Melendez Retain Belts at Strikeforce: Nashville
By Mike ChiappettaPosted: Apr 18th 2010 3:29 AM
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The King got his crown, Japanese MMA suffered a national blow, and an underappreciated champion beat a legend, but in the end, it was a night of Mayhem.
Strikeforce: Nashville offered up three championship bouts, but it was a fourth, unscheduled match that unfortunately left with the buzz. At the conclusion of Jake Shields' five-round decision over Dan Henderson, a brawl broke out after Jason "Mayhem" Miller party-crashed the cage to challenge Shields to a championship rematch.
Miller, as he is one to do, found a way to steal the spotlight with his unnecessary intrusion on Shields' airtime, but what it led to was worse, as the images of the Diaz brothers beating on a downed Miller won't reflect well on a sport still fighting for mainstream acceptance.
Strikeforce Nashville: King Mo Lawal Beats Gegard Mousasi
By Michael David SmithPosted: Apr 17th 2010 9:50 PM
It was a great showing by Lawal, who in Mousasi was fighting by far the toughest opponent of his mixed martial arts career. Lawal showed throughout the fight that his amateur wrestling background and his physical strength were just too much for Mousasi to handle. Lawal is now a champion, and one of the best light heavyweights in all of MMA.
