Strikeforce at the Mansion II: Cory Devela vs. Terry Martin
Saturday, September 13th, 2008Last night Spike replayed the Evan Tanner vs. Kendall Grove fight as part of the TUF Finale rebroadcast. I noticed there was some grumbling on the Sherdog forums about how showing that fight was disrespectful because of the beating that Tanner took. I have a different take on it. Tanner put up a great fight, [...]

Bow Tie Betting - Friday Pick Recaps (3/28/08)
Friday, March 28th, 2008The Strikeforce/EliteXC card scheduled for tomorrow night has gone to shit. Three of the fights on the televised card have been canceled. That means only two fights that I originally picked are still going to take place.
Cung Le (+180) vs. Frank Shamrock (-220)
I picked Le in this fight, because I thought +180 was [...]
EliteXC/Strikeforce Shamrock vs. Le: UPDATE #2
Thursday, March 27th, 2008A third fight from the Saturday main card has been canceled.
Nick Diaz will not be fighting because it appears the California Athletic Commission has a problem granting him a license because of his use of medical marijuana. You know you have a problem when marijuana costs you two fights.
I cannot remember [...]
EliteXC/Strikeforce Shamrock vs. Le: UPDATE
Wednesday, March 26th, 20081. The Villasenor/Santos bout is canceled. Santos is having visa problems.
2. The Shields/Fickett bout is canceled due to a Shields suffering a back injury.
The Le vs. Shamrock line has moved to Le: +170, Shamrock: -210. I still think it’s a good bet. I wouldn’t count Le’s line moving back to +180, so [...]
