So, Friday night was able to check out the doubleheader they had going on. The twin bill of the Strikeforce Challengers and Tachi Palace Fights in California were the events. While both cards were probably mediocre at best (The TPF featured a red mat in the cage and native entertainment. I know, its a indian reservation casino!) The 2 fights I was most interested in were entertaining nonetheless. Here's how they break down :
-Randy Couture's eldest son Ryan improved to 2-0 in the strikeforce cage following a 3rd round submission win. He had a few attempts on his opponents in the opening 10 minutes but finally was able to secure a rear naked choke with about 2 minutes left to force a tap. Kudos to him he seems like a chip off the old block.
-David Loiseau proved that if the cage isn't in the UFC, he can still be dangerous. While his fight for the middleweight tachi palace fights title was mostly a ground affair, he showed flashes of the old crow (including a flying knee attempt that landed him head first into the cage) and systematically beating down defending champion Leopoldo Serao, forcing a 5th round stoppage due to a deep cut on Serao's head. Loiseau improves to 20-10. Now if he could only get it together in the Octagon, that would be much better.
I'll be back to post a couple of entries into the blog this week and give you my thoughts on the upcoming UFC 127 card between Penn and Fitch as well as how I see Bellator's Season 4 tournaments breaking down.
Until next time, fight fans.
