STRIKEFORCE: APRIL 17, 2010 ON CBS
venue: Sommet Center in Nashville, Tennessee
Main Bouts (On CBS):
Middleweight Champion Jake Shields (24-4-1) vs. Dan Henderson (25-7) Oh I fear for Jake in this one. "Hendo" is a far stronger fighter with better wrestling and a brutal right hand in the stand up area where Shields is oft absent. Shields will test the feet early but not for long as Dan sprawls and brawls while accumulating a beatdown on the champ. Eventually, tired and bruised, that sledgehammer right hand lands before "Hendo" does the G&P for the "W."
WINNER-Dan Henderson by Rd.4 TKO
Light Heavyweight Champion Gegard Mousasi (28-2-1) vs. Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal (6-0) The talk between these two got ugly quick and this thing has turned into a bonafide grudge match. "King Mo" is going to put the pace on Gegard early and he will have to withstand the early onslaught much like he did with Sokojoke. Another eventually, as the pace slows "King Mo" will make a mistake and Mousasi will tap him unless Lawal's ego requires a break.
WINNER-Gegard Mousasi by Rd.5 Submission
Lightweight Champion Gilbert Melendez (17-2) vs. Shinya Aoki (23-4) The mat magician made good on his word and debuts stateside against the latin storm. "El Nino" will keep Aoki at the end of his jab while avoiding takedowns like herpes while Shinya struggles with the pace and striking en route to frustration and eventually (have I said that before) the power combination to put the Japanese rainbow warrior to bed.
WINNER-Gilbert Melendez by Rd.3 TKO
Prelim Bout (May air on CBS):
Jason Miller (22-7) vs. Tim Stout (8-7) Really? I mean really? I guess this is a tune up for Robbie Lawler later this summer.
