Nick Diaz and Evangelista Cyborg

The Welterweight Champion keeps his title.

Nick's slightly akward stand up skills met their match in Evangelista Cyborg. Although some might argue that Cyborg set the pace of the fight early on  by landing low kicks to Diaz's lead leg time and time again. The tables turned when it hit the ground and Diaz submitted Cyborg with an armbar in the second round.



Another fight that stood out from the night was "Jacare" vs Lawler

Ronaldo "Jacare"Souza

"Jacare" survived  his first title defense. Opponent  Robbie Lawler knocked him hard in the first round and the stunned "Jacare" looked shaken.“He has a hard punch, man!” said Souza of Lawler, but although initally stunned "Jacare" gained his composure and rested back on his jui jitsu strengths and won by rear naked choke.

After the fight when asked if he wanted to fight Strikeforce's own  Jason "Mayhem" Miller  "Jacare" replied stoically“You kidding me man? I beat this guy two times. No more!”

* I am thinking perhaps he will change his mind these days, since we know now so many Bully Beatdown fans would pay to see that  -me included !~Go Mahem!
