Strikeforce: Emelianenko vs Werdum On Showtime

STRIKEFORCE And M-1: June 26, 2010
HP Pavilion in San Jose, California

WAMMA Heavyweight Champion Fedor Emelianenko (31-1) vs. Fabricio Werdum (13-4-1) The "Last Emperor" has returned to hold sway over the Heavyweight division as always. "Vai Cavalo" has won dos in a row after being canned by the UFC but has looked very improved in the stand up and always has dizzying tight Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as his base. Fedor is Fedor and that is simply all you have to say. That being say, anything can happen in a fight and the bloodletting is always a scary with Emelianenko. He cuts very easily it seems and let's face it, gets injured in most of his fights. If, I say if, Fedor were to break that hand again, Fabricio has the trips, takedowns, and the hunger to shock the world. These are small little things that could turn the reign of the greatest heavyweight, nay greatest fighter of all time on its head. But it won't happen that way. Fedor will most likely starch Werdum early in revenge for his lil' brother Aleksander, before heading home to Russia where he is made King with Vladimir Putin as his sidekick. Anyone know what the point of the WAMMA title if they are never going to let him defend it.
WINNER-The "Last Emperor" by Rd.3 TKO

Cristiane Santos (9-1) vs. Jan Finney (8-7) "Cuddles" be in some trouble here. She is not even a 145er but she came up to where the belt is and a high market fight with "Femborg" gets her some press. Unfortunately, her game isn't conducive to fighting the Chute Boxe female and Santos is going to beat her stupid and whip her silly while doing the man dance.
WINNER-"Femborg" by Rd.1 KO

Cung Le (6-1) vs. Scott Smith (17-6) [Rematch] Cung ran out of gas in the 1st offering just back from shooting the movie "Pandorum" and perhaps didn't take the living punching bag's nickname, "Hands Of Stone," serious enough. That won't happen again as Le continues the barrage of the 1st outing keeping Smith at bay with a plethora of kicks and occasional punches. If Scott can weather the storm he wins a Decision loss. I think he should be stopped for Cung Le to kinda earn his stellar rep back. Its a beating by numbers as Scott takes an unholy amount of abuse only to not find that last second come from behind oh my god punch from hell.
WINNER-Cung Le by Decision

Josh Thomson (16-3) vs. Pat Healy (23-15) I believe the "Punk" is looking for opponents if anyone can help the AKA member out. Pat's a good guy and a good fighter, but he just isn't in Josh's league which is sort of a good thing because Thomson is a douche bag.
WINNER-The "Punk" by Decision

Well it may not be a very exciting card, but it gives you the "Last Emperor" so just take it like Kobe Bryant tips hotel maids.
