Strikeforce Capitalizes

Strikeforce capitalizes on the fall of ElitXC! Strikeforce was smart enough to sign forty of Elite XC's former fighters after they went bankrupt. Strikeforce is based in San Jose, CA and is the only mma organization in San Jose. Strikforce is one of the few mma organizations to make it out of the "dust" and enter the top of the pack with only the UFC in front of them. Strikeforce has taken a slow, cautious ride to the top, but the wait was well worth it.

Strikeforce signed a handful of the world's top mma fighters broadening the talent in Strikeforce. The new elite fighters added to Strikeforce's payroll will definitely make an immediate impact on the success of Strikforce, as well as, the growth of the sports.

Strikeforce holds most of their events at the HP Pavilion, where the San Josee Sharks play. Their next event will be on April 11 and the main event will be UFC veteran Frank Shamrock vs. UFC and Pride veteran Nick Diaz. They will be fighting at a catch weight of 179 lbs. The co main event will be Scott Smith vs Benji Radach, both fighters known for their brutal strength and knock out power. San Francisco's own Gilbert Melendez will fight Ishida, who served Melendez his first loss a year ago.

Strikeforce is based in San Jose, CA, so please support Strikeforce and attend or watch all of their events. They will be airing their fights on Showtime and will be running a series called "Young Guns" on NBC. Check out http://www.strikeforce.com/ for more information.
