Impressive performances by King Mo Lawal, Gilbert Melendez, and Jake Shields were overshadowed at Saturday night's Strikeforce Nashville event when a post-fight melee ensued following Shields' victory over Dan Henderson.

I wondering how much strikeforce paid mayhem to go in there?
And It was Gilbert and Sheilds team that started the fight.

I beat you they did it just for press and get everyone talking.

What a disappointment. Taking the sport back to the dark ages after all this progress. Shame.

Imagine that the Diaz brothers throwing cheap shots at Miller while he's on all fours ... these two fuckin' punks should be suspended and fined by the commission. They are a black eye on the sport IMO, everytime they open their mouths something idiotic and unintelligable comes out. Granted Miller is a punk also and should never have been allowed to interupt the post-fight interview like that, but Shields totally over-reacted and what's up with little Melendez getting involved? Not very classy for a couple of "champions" ... and where's the security at? Strikefarce just opened the flood gates for bad PR, good job guys, just gave the critics fodder to run their smack against MMA ... the whole production of the show is second rate(what the fuck is with the go-go dancers? ridiculous), which is unfortunate because they do have some talented fighters, if not very intelligent ones.

i just wanna say this is a prime example of how classy some fighters out there are. Most mma fighters are nice guys and set a good example to be role models and people to llok up too. nick/nate diaz are two fighters thhat i cannot stand watching/ they should be punished for their actions.........melendez, i never really liked, should also be accted for. Shields and mayhem not to much/].

strikeforce, you guys need to step-up big time

This makes them look more like a stupid pro wrestling organization than a fighting one. Just a bunch of dumb thugs.

People need to grow up. We pay to watch men beat themselves silly, love it when someone almost get choked to death, arm ripped off, kicked to the point he falls like he is dead,see blood dripping. We are not watching a sport of flower pickers, basket makers. You see people brawling and now its oh my god its soo awful. I loved it. Just like when there is a brawl in baseball, hockey and other sports. How many brawls happened in the mike tyson era and everyone loved to see what crazy shit would happen next. People paid to see the wildness. One brawl after a fight match--get over it. Count the brawls in hockey, baseball, boxing etc then shut up.

Dana White couldn't have scripted this Strikeforce event better. The King Mo fight was a lay and pray fest. All 3 of these fights were boring. Even though Hendo still has a cannon in his right hand, he was slow. He looked like the dinosaur he is. Dana was right to let him go. And then Strikeforce can't provide enough security to stop a brawl from happening. Strikefarce!!!

Dude! all of you a fucking morons!

The melee does not hurt Strikeforce ratings. People who tuned in to watch were already seeking violence. The melee, more likely, made them more interested in MMA.

MMA ain't a full blown sport. It is a fucking human cock fighting. I am an MMA fan I am proud to admit it.

SHIELDS IS THE MAN! STRIKEFORCE CARD BLEW UFC'S LAST TWO CARDS AWAY. KEEP IT UP SF

MOUSASI WAS ALL HYPE.

"Dana white couldn't have scripted better."

Wow! You are a Dana dick rider. Seriously, you quote Dana? Dana is a clown. I bet you respect him for what he has done for the sport.

LOL! Go get a life dude.

the fight involving miller and diaz brothers was the only excitement on this boring card that was a joke, i was thinking the whole time how king mo would get handled by the likes of machida and shogun, as well as melendez could not hold a candle to b.j. or frankie and no way in this lifetime could shields do anything with gsp

fuck strikeforce and gracies87 said...

dude that strikeforce card blew all u got were 75 min of cuddling only homosexuals like that fight card but the scra pack are a bunch of gracir trained mediocre fighters they are all successful in strikeforce but lets see shields vs anderson lets see melendez agnist penn or edgar or maynard the diaz brothers sre by far the most overrated fighters in the history of mma even more overrated than the gracies which is hard to do cause gracies all of em suck!!!!!!!!!!!! and strikeforce managment sux brett rodgers gets kod by fedor and fedor dont even get the title shot what the fuck!!!!!!!!! how can u lose in a promotion by ko than ur next fight is for the belt lol all you strikeforce fans need to relize that the only reason ufc dont own strikeforce is because dana white likes to make the ufc look good. the way the main event ended at strikeforce makes andersons show boating look like a saintly....so all u strikefroce fans keep watching elite xc lol enjoy ur mediocre fight cards

Shields isnt too impressive.. hes a gsp but not near as good... 4 rounds of "ground and pound" and take a look at hendo.. i bet hes more roughed up in training!! all shields did was negate his striking and pointed a victory.. never was hendo in any real trouble.. if shields sub'ed him id be more impressed... shields wouldnt be too succesful in ufc... give em koscheck or fitch see how he does. Im not a hueg dana fan but he isthe man in MMA anyone saying otherwise is a uneducated moron look at ufc 1 and compare to now.. cards all over theworld selling out all over the world.. whatother promo has done that??? exactly.. the strikeforce card was decent but its not close ufc.. yeah the silva/maia fight was garbage but that a whole other story

I totally agree. The Diaz brothers have proven that they are no more than common street punks that DO NOT DESERVE anything they have gotten from the sport. I would love to see a lifetime ban of both of those guys.

Anonymous said...

the Diaz brothers are punks and will always be punks. From the mean streets of Stockton. Hahahaha whack ass slap boxers. Both the Diaz brothers couldn't make it in the ufc so they had to go to strikeforce. This isn't even the first time the Diaz brothers did something like that after a fight. When Diaz fought Kj Noons in Hawaii his brother spit on Kj's dad and started swinging at Kj's whole family. The Diaz brothers shouldn't be allowed to fight MMA for a year and should have to attend anger management. They r disgrace to the so called sport. They should stick to smoking weed, street fighting in Stockton, and bike races.

Lifetime ban, probably not, but definately a six-month suspension and during that time random drug testing, LOL. Fuck the Diaz brothers, I met Nick awhile back and he's a fag, fuckin' shook my hand with a clamy wet noodle, I hate that shit, grip it like a man you pussy. And Strikeforce is second rate and all you UFC haters can suck it! I guarantee Dana can't wipe the smile off his face right now. "We're on national TV gentleman", it's cool Gus, by that time no one was watching anyway ...

To let you know, Nate is still in UFC. Nick is the Strikeforce Welterweight champ. I'm a little pissed cause I set my DVR for only a half hour extension so it cut off a minute and a half in the fifth. Strikeforce has fighters such as Mayhem and Nick Diaz who are just a joke to the sport. I hope Mayhem got his face beat in. I agree that this brawl was classless but its gonna bring in ticket sales and was mildly entertaining. I do hope Shields leaves Strikeforce now his contract is up. Hendo looked good in the first and then looked like crap the rest of the time. King Mo winning the title shows that Mousasi is just hype. Strikeforce has nothing but paper champs. Not a single champ is worth spit besides Shields. And I'm not that a big Shields fan. He's good but just a boring fighter to watch, a lot like GSP now a days. I was pretty surprised to see Aoki get dominated all five rounds. Wasn't a great fight card but it was free so you can't bitch.

Unknown said...

The bottom line is MMA is a sport. The fighters are supposed to act like athletes. That is what makes MMA a sport. Technically what Nate was doing was assault. It looked to me like Nate doesnt give a shit about the sport or the UFC.

all of you dumb fucks that say you hate the diaz boys fuck you. And to the dana dick rider guy fuck you. ur a dumb piece of shit and i wish the diaz boys would jump ur dumbass. While it may look lik vince is running strikeforce vince has set up and empire so why not do some scriptin as long as you dnt fix fights

Anonymous said...

If anyone has ever met and been around mayhem, he's like that, he's a joker. Shields overreacted and his team really shouldn't have gotten butt hurt over that little comment. Look at Rashad and rampage, who actually hate each other, got into the cage face to face and not one punch was thrown. The Diaz brothers are both actually very talented but they do need to realize that they are not fighting on small locacl shows anymore where no one will care about this.

HAHAHA go nick diaz...

Juice said...

Why was Melendez there anyways, was he still bored from his fight and looking for action. That's the most action all night. F the Diaz's , go MILLER!!!! Strikeforce sucks, goodbye Strikeforce no more CBS for you!!!!

No bigger punks in the game than the Diaz brothers... bar none. When this happens in UFC they build a fight and talk. Not in Strikefarce. Nate Diaz should be dropped by UFC, just for his actions. Its like a player in MLB, or NFL going to another location and getting in a fight. UFC should say, "Umm yeah Jake, we were going to sign you but, we see you and who you hang with are classless and we don't need that, stay at Strikefarce" With Gilbert, have that tubby little F drop to 145 sign him in WEC and watch Aldo hurt him. Bet he couldn't pass up taco's enough for that. Nick Diaz is as classless as it gets, back to when UFC got rid of him for fighting Riggs in the hospital. What a puke. I can say unless Fedor is on the card, I won't watch Strikefarce again and if I do it will only be that one fight. Hope they fold for setting the sport back.

Strikeforce sucks and is dead now! Fedor should be in the UFC soon!!

Anonymous said...

Something is definately up with Fedor ... why is Rogers who got KTFO by Fedor now fighting Overeem? I've never heard of such a thing, what a joke! The whole Overeem situation is a joke anyway! He won the title in the fall of '07 and has yet to defend it! And he's still Champ, c'mon! WTF! I love all these Strikefarce honks coming out of the woodwork to somehow justify that whole BS card. Three of their "champions" showed zero class and should all be suspended and fined by the promotion at least if the commission doesn't do it first. I bet Nate Diaz disappears from the UFC fairly quickly ... Fedor will be in the UFC by the fall, guaranteed ...

Can you say, "SET THE FUCK UP!!!!" Haha what a total joke. If they are this hurtin for ratings right now, they cannot be in good condition. That was the fakest thing I have seen since Pam Andersons tits

Anonymous said...

wow what a joke all fighters should be suspended the whole gracie team is just a b class list of fighters. nate diaz who was he beat lately fuckin nobody he should be out of the ufc hes a shitbag. strikeforce card was boring but free so no complaints either way the whole company is shitty and all the fighters are whack or past their prime.

...No doubt this hurt the sport. Millions of kids & parents had to see it. It's really all in Dana's hands now to do clean up. This seriously hurt the UFC's chances of getting as mainstream deal. The "Human cock-fighting" reputation MMA was just leaving behind, has been reopened like a Kenny Florian elbow. It boils down to 2 things: Crack-baby Miller and an unprepared Strikeforce...

All BS and posturing aside, you do see stuff like this all the time in the major sports. Enivitably someone takes it one step too far and you know what boys will be boyz. It's a combat sport for christ's sake, it was bound to happen and frankly I'm a bit surprised it doesn't happen more often. I don't think it really hurts the sport's rep, MMA is a niche sport anyway. Haters will always hate, there is not much you can do about it. Having said that, some form of decipline be it fine, suspension or both would seem mandatory for all of those involved, namely the Diaz Bros. Any sane person would agree.
