Strikeforce on Showtime

5:00pm PST Strikeforce

179 pounds (81 kg) Catchweight bout: Frank Shamrock vs. Nick Diaz
Lightweight Championship bout: Josh Thomson vs. Gilbert Melendez
Welterweight bout: Jake Shields vs. Joe Riggs
Middleweight bout: Scott Smith vs. Benji Radach
Womens (140lbs) bout: Cris Santos vs. Hitomi Akano

I am really looking forward to this event. Love watching Nick Diaz fight and the rest of the card should be some great fights

This is going to be a great event starring the cast of the Gracie-Fighter crew. All of them champs too. Nick was IFL and WEC champ, Jake is EliteXC champ, and Gilbert was/will be again? the Strikeforce camp. Cesar Gracie produces!

Really looking forward to this card. Some great fights!

Lawler and Shields yeah that will be great !
Do you happen to know if there will be a replacement matchup for the loss of the Shields fight?

I don't think there has been an announcement of a replacement fight and with the card only three weeks out, I doubt there will be.

I liked the Shamrock /Baroni sub ... kinda didnt expect that ; ) I cant wait for the new improved Strikeforce to get up and rolling with all the goodies... Im sure there are gonna be some minor imperfections here and there and critics will be all over it but hey ...Bring it on! Its been too long . The fans definately need more flavors to choose from. : )
