Former pro wrestling star
and WWE heavyweight champion, unbeaten Bobby Lashley, won his
Strikeforce debut with a first-round TKO over Wes Sims Saturday at
the BankAtlantic Center on SHOWTIMEŽ.



In the fight of the night
on the opening Strikeforce event in 2010, former two-time world
champion Robbie Lawler rallied dramatically to register a
spectacular first-round knockout over Melvin Manhoef.


Former NFL and college
football star Herschel Walker, 47, showed excellent endurance and
decent ability in his highly anticipated MMA debut a third-round
TKO over Greg Nagy.



Strikeforce Female World
Champion Cris Cyborg had to fight to turn back a determined effort
from gutsy, hard-trying challenger Marloes Coenen to win by
third-round TKO and retain her 145-pound title.



In an excellent
performance, talented Nick Diaz captured the first-ever Strikeforce
World Welterweight title by first-round TKO over Marius Zaromskis.
