Liddell at the Grammys. In the comments section, it was said GSP and Evans were there too.

I hope Jack Shields doesn't go to the UFC thinking he's going to get a title shot right away.

Strikeforce has signed Cyborg Santos. Frank Shamrock vs. Nick Diaz might headline the 4/11 show which will be on Showtime.

Strikeforce is also re-doing Carano's contract. She only makes $25,00 per fight.

The signing of Cyborg is great news, hopefully they get the deal done with Gina and the Shamrock/Diaz fight looks to be official now.

Former Strikeforce Middleweight Champion Frank Shamrock will face EliteXC, UFC, and PRIDE veteran Nick Diaz at Strikeforce's April 11 show at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California. It is currently unknown which weight class the two will fight in, however Diaz has mentioned in the past that he has no problem moving up a weight class.

The April 11 Strikeforce show is expected to air on Showtime and will also feature Scott Smith vs. Benji Radach. It has also been rumored that Strikeforce Lightweight Champion Josh Thomson and Gilbert Melendez will also be on the card, but opponents have yet to be announced.

Karo failed a drug test. Apparently he had 3 different substances in his system. Man, he took 3 different drugs and he still had a shitty fight.

UFC 95 Countdown show comes on tonight.

GSP Vs Alves and Bisping Vs Henderson announced for UFC 100.

They'll probably really stack this show - I could see Penn Vs Florian and Evans Vs Rampage/Machida added too, and maybe something like Couture Vs Big Nog...

Jake Shields vs. Joe Riggs has been added to the Strikeforce show for April.

Wand vs. Rich Franklin will face each other in a catchweight around 195lbs for UFC 99.

Strikeforce is stacking up that show. Can't wait to see it on Showtime.

And a catch weight? Is that allowed? Wandy's striking style vs. Franklin's methodical, technical pace. Should be fun. I bet Ace gets KTFO.

What do you MMA fans make of this?

I don't think training for MMA, and having an MMA fight with a torn ACL is such a good idea, but it sounds like she's taking it very seriously. Not sure how successful she would be considering her age and lack of experience but who knows.
