I've only been at fairtex for 4 months. I trained with bunkerd at f&f before. Dude is probably the nicest guy i've ever met in the martial arts world. We are lucky as fuck to have such a great selection of real lumpini champion nak muays in the peninsula.

i'm probably going to start fighting pure muay thai fights early summer next yr.

Strikeforce Dec. 19 Roster Finalized

A light heavyweight tilt between Antwain Britt and Scott Lighty leads five bouts announced for the undercard of Strikeforce “Evolution” on Dec. 19 at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif.

Britt, a competitor on Spike TV’s “The Ultimate Fighter 8,” boasts victories over UFC vets Carmelo Marrero and Antonio Mendes, who Britt knocked out in eight seconds at Shine Fights “Genesis” in May 2009. Five of Britt’s nine victories have come from strikes in the first round.

The undefeated Lighty, who trained with John Hackleman at The Pit, earned a first-round technical knockout from strikes against Mike Cook at Strikeforce “Carano vs. Cyborg” last August. Lighty, 31, was a K-1 Las Vegas Grand Prix finalist in 2005.

Also on the undercard, Deep and Dream veteran Daisuke Nakamura will meet local draw Bryan Travers in a welterweight bout. Travers, making his promotional debut, has won his last six appearances, including victories against former IFL standout John Gunderson and Strikeforce veteran Jeremiah Metcalf. Travers’ only loss came to UFC competitor Nate Loughran in 2006.

The five-bout main card, which features a recently confirmed middleweight bout between former EliteXC middleweight champion Robbie Lawler and South African Olympic wrestling alternate Trevor Prangley, airs live on Showtime at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Mo looked nervous while showing off, that was a weird fight and not impressive enough to get anyone excited to see him fight Mousasi.
Jacare's boxing was great and he was pretty much terrifying.
Punk put on a great fight considering he hadn't been in the cage for so long, and I'm glad Gil won. Probably fight of the year for Strikeforce, and a third fight has to happen.
Smith had one way to win and he did it lol. Le's kicks were sick though, not a lot to say about that fight.

I switched over to WEC after and got to see Cerrone kill 9mm. At one point he had him in like a double inverse triangle and reached down and pulled Ratcliff's leg over his head as well, it was hilarious.

Can't wait for the next Strikeforce if it's
Whitemare vs. Diaz
Lawler vs. Manhoef
Cris Cyborg vs. Coenen
Lashley vs. tba
Herschel Walker vs. tba
