Hours after news broke that heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem was cut by Strikeforce, Overeem released the latest installment of his online documentary “The Reem” revealing a broken rib following his recent withdrawal from the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix.
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. With former Strikeforce welterweight champ Nick Diaz vacating his belt to pursue Georges St-Pierre’s UFC bling-bling, Tyron Woodley and Tarec Saffiedine stepped into the spotlight and submitted their resumes to become the company’s next 170-pound king.
Saffiedine completely dominated veteran Scott Smith at “Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Henderson,” while Woodley posted a unanimous decision victory of his own over Paul Daley on Saturday night. Their performances not only won over fans inside the inside the Sears Centre in Illinois, but company CEO Scott Coker was also impressed with their exhibitions.
“That’s something that we’re going to go back to the office and have a conversation internally,” Coker stated at post-fight press conference. “But I would think that Tyron and Tarec are going to be the frontrunners for that vacant title when it does happen.”
While Coker wouldn’t completely commit to the championship shootout, the writing was all over Woodley’s clothes. The wrestler was donning a T-shirt that had ‘I Got Next’ plastered on it at the presser.
“At this point, I definitely wouldn’t be satisfied with anything else,” Woodley said of competing for the crown in his next outing. “I definitely thought this fight would put me in the position to be in a world title fight, and I still have that same idea. I don’t think there’s anybody else in the weight class that deserves it.
“I think I should be fighting for the world title.”
Woodley owns a perfect 9-0 resume, with his last seven scraps coming under Strikeforce’s banner. Saffiedine bumped his record to 11-3 following last night’s outing. He’s 3-1 inside Strikeforce’s hexagon.
MMAFrenzy.com has complete results for “Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Henderson” from July 30 near Chicago, where former top-ranked heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko battled light heavyweight champion Dan Henderson in the non-title main event on Showtime.

Dan Henderson scored a first-round knockout of Fedor Emelianenko in Saturday’s Strikeforce main event outside Chicago, but the Strikeforce light heavyweight champion first had to survive a flurry from the fellow former PRIDE champ.
The pair came out swinging, then briefly settled into a battle in the clinch before letting their leather fly again. Henderson connected first with several looping punches, but Emelianenko answered with a barrage of his own.
Henderson would weather the storm and immediately turned the tide as he blasted Emelianenko in a scramble and Fedor hit the canvas face-first. “Hendo” followed with a pair of punches on the ground that appeared to land behind the head of “The Last Emperor,” but weren’t deemed illegal as referee Herb Dean halted the fight.
Henderson improves to 28-8 with three-straight wins following the TKO at 4:12 of the first, while Emelianenko falls to 31-4 with three-straight losses after a 10-year winning streak.
In the night’s co-main event, Miesha Tate submitted champion Marloes Coenen with an arm triangle after three lackluster rounds to win the Strikeforce women’s bantamweight title. The Showtime-televised main card also saw Tim Kennedy top Robbie Lawler, Tyron Woodley edge Paul Daley, and Tarec Saffiedine dominate Scott Smith.

A pair of bouts have been added to DREAM.17 as officials have confirmed that lightweights Shinya Aoki and Rob McCullough will clash in a non-title bout while former Sengoku lightweight Satoru Kitaoka will go up against former Shooto champion Willamy Freire.
DREAM.17 is scheduled to take place on September 24 from the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.
In addition to the added fights, DREAM.17 is expected to have the opening round of DREAM’s Bantamweight Grand Prix, which is expected to feature Hideo Tokoro, Masakazu Imanari, Kenji Osawa, Bibiano Fernandes and four other fighters.
Aoki is currently riding a five-bout win sstreak, with his most recent action including an impressive performance against Rich Clementi.
Meanwhile, McCullough makes his DREAM debut coming off a knockout loss to Patricky Freire in the opening round of Bellator’s 2011 Lightweight GP.
Kitaoka brought himself to prominence as he earned a submission win over Takanori Gomi at the 2008 Sengoku Lightweight GP; however, he then suffered a pair of consecutive losses to Mizuto Hirota and Jorge Masvidal. Since that time, he has earned three straight victories and will, like McCullough, be making his DREAM debut.
Freire, on the other hand, is coming off a loss to Waylon Lowe at a UFC event in January 2011; it was his only bout in the UFC.
With the additions to DREAM.17, the tentative fight card is as follows:

Rashad Evans may be 31-years-old and a former UFC light heavyweight champion, but he’s never too old to get advice from his momma. Even if her baby owns an impressive 15-1-1 professional MMA record, she feels she must submit her scouting report to “Suga” each time he takes the Octagon.
While appearing as a guest on NBC’s “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” on Friday, Evans not only discussed the sound advice his mother constantly gives him, but he also shared a top secret conversation he had with Randy Couture just hours before Evans entered the biggest fight of his life against former champ Chuck Liddell back in September 2008.
“Randy was like, ‘OK, here’s the situation, you’re nervous because you’re afraid of the outcome. Accept the worst outcome, and once you accept the worst outcome, you’ll be free. You’ll be able to go out there and fight like you’re able to fight.’” Evans recalled of his chat with the UFC Hall of Famer.
Shortly after that, Liddell was found unconscious on the canvas and Evans was $60,000 richer after earning “Knockout of the Night” honors.
As if sharing his personal stories weren’t enough, Evans also broke out an impromptu karaoke session with his rendition of Ben E. King’s “Stand by me.”
Evans headlines UFC 133 opposite Tito Ortiz next Saturday (August 6th) inside the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I was looking to find out if the Triumph had a wifi and tether built in function from a comment left earlier. In that quest, I did find some interesting videos and thought this was actually a good review to compare and contrast the 3 Virgin Mobile android phones Triumph vs Optimus vs Intercept.
I think if you haven’t purchased your android phone yet, these videos will be very helpful. It is a two part video and goes through both the hardware and software of each phone. It’s in the second video that talks about the quick settings in the Triumph for wifi hotspots.
After all is said and done, I am very satisfied with my LG Optimus V phone. I have had it for about 6 months now and have used many things on it including the GPS, tethering, camera, and video camera, messaging, and of course talking on the phone itself which does have a very good speaker function.
Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem has reportedly been released by Strikeforce. Details are scarce at the moment, but HDNet reported Friday that Overeem’s camp received notice he was released from the organization effective July 22.
The now-former champion recently withdrew from the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix due to lingering injuries that were apparently more severe than first thought. While it was originally believed Overeem would still return to the organization, the Dutch fighter is now a free agent.
Overeem’s camp had been in negotiations with Strikeforce and Zuffa, the UFC’s parent company, to extend his deal beyond his one remaining fight but it appears that negotiations have broken down for now. During that time it appears the relationship grew strained as Overeem spoke of a possible move to boxing and appeared very frustrated with his now former employers in a recent interview with MMAFighting.com.
Overeem’s next destination, at least for now, will be Moscow, Russia for the Glory World Series in October. No date or opponent has been announced as of now. Meanwhile, Strikeforce’s grand prix will continue on September 10 featuring Overeem’s replacement Daniel Cormier vs. Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva and Josh Barnett vs. Sergei Khaitonov. The winner of the tournament could conceivably be crowned Strikeforce’s new heavyweight champion.
