UFC president Dana White was eating crow all week after his middleweight superstar, Anderson Silva, made a mockery out of the organization’s most monumental show. Time heals all wounds and thankfully for Octagon brass, they only had to wait a week for the “Strikeforce: Nashville” circus to roll into MMA’s ...

(Props: andrewbummer) So here it is — the moment that might have sunk Strikeforce's chances at getting on network television ever again. (As if the monotonous fights didn't do enough damage to their stock.) When the video cuts away at the 0:15 mark, you miss two things: Jake Shields shoving Jason Miller for getting too close, and Gilbert Melendez shoving Miller immediately afterwards when it looks like Mayhem might retaliate. And then it's time for the shit to have its blind date with the fan. At this point, Scott Coker's only hope is that the post-event brawl creates enough heat that CBS wants to give them another chance, selling Strikeforce ...

   The card for the upcoming Strikeforce event in Nashville has been filled. Conspicuous in his absence from the roster is WWE Superstar turned fighter Bobby Lashley, who was originally planned for the promotion’s return to CBS. Lashley, who trains out of his own American Top Team gym in Colorado, underwent nasal surgery that pushed back his training camp, and according to Strikeforce president Scott Coker, they decided it was best to let him recover and fight another day.

Current Strikeforce and former UFC fighter Mike Whitehead is wanted on warrants relating to sexual assault and drug charges, Las Vegas' KLAS TV 8 reported late Monday night. Las Vegas police officials were not available for comment on the charges Whitehead is allegedly facing when MMA Fighting tried to reach them early Tuesday morning, but according to the KLAS report, police arrived at his home to investigate the alleged sexual assault and discovered a marijuana growing operation. The home reportedly had marijuana plants with an estimated street value of around $500,000.

At UFC 112, the unthinkable happened: BJ Penn lost to Frankie Edgar.  After a relatively uneventful five rounds, the judges came back with a unanimous verdict in Edgar's favor.  Say what you want about the decision, but BJ let a close fight go to the judges.  He looked like a broken and beaten man after the fight. Does Frankie Edgar jump to number one for beating BJ Penn?  I'm sure some people will say yes.  Fight Matrix already has Edgar at number one.  I'm not a big rankings guy, but I think there is a strong case for ranking Shinya Aoki number one.  Edgar's win was not exactly dominant, and a lot of people think he should ...
