The legendary Mike Zambidis takes on up and comer Enriko Gogokhia at last weeks W5 event in Moscow.

Zamby's fights are real entertaining. This is par for the course.

I did when I watched it.

Ugh, when I start missing Joe Rogan, that's when I know that Strikeforce's commentary sucks eggs.

Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker: SF vs. UFC could happen in a year.

This could be good for business. Especially if the StrikeForce fighters prove a point on the UFC guys and win some matches against them.

It could, even if only a little bit, make some careers out of guys and/or expose some fighters.
