Strikeforce light heavyweight champion “Babalu” Renato Sobral (31-8) and challenger “Dreamcatcher” Gegard Mousasi (21-2-1) made the 205-pound weight limit for their title fight in San Jose Saturday with pounds to spare.
Defending champion “Babalu” weighed 201 pounds while challenging prospect Mousasi weighed 204 pounds.
Heavyweight UFC cast-off “Vai Cavalo” Fabricio Werdum (11-4-1) weighed 228 pounds. His late replacement opponent, American Kickboxing Academy’s “MAK” Mike Kyle (11-6-1), weighed 219 pounds.
Nick Diaz Misses Pre-Strikeforce Drug Test
Strikeforce welterweight contender “Diablo” Nick Diaz (20-8) skipped a mandatory California State Athletic Commission pre-fight drug screening Friday for his title fight versus “Thoroughbred” Jay Hieron (14-4) at Strikeforce in San Jose 15 August.
Maybe it was scheduled at 4:20 PM?
A card-carrying medical marijuana toker, Diaz was popped for marijuana use by the Nevada State Athletic Commission after tapping “Fireball Kid” Takanori Gomi (28-6) in a gogoplata at PRIDE 33 in Las Vegas in February 2007.
Filho Returns To Tap Manhoef, Aoki By UD, And Zaromskis Upsets The Welterweights at DREAM.10
Former WEC middleweight champion “Ely” Paulo Filho (16-1) tapped “Marvelous” Melvin Manhoef (22-6-1) in an armbar at 2:36 of round one and lightweight “Tobikan Judan” Shinya Aoki (18-4) won a unanimous decision over “Shaolin” vitor Ribeiro (20-2) at DREAM.10 in Saitama, north of Tokyo, Monday.
Lithuanian “Whitemare” Marius Zaromskis (12-2) upset “Mach” Hayato Sakurai (32-9-3) and Jason High (7-2) both with fight-ending head kicks to win the Welterweight Grand Prix.
Returning to Japan after an odd stint in the WEC and returning to MMA after nine months off, Filho was rusty and lucky to exploit the chink that has resulted in three of Manhoef’s six losses: the armbar.
TUF's Taylor To Tokyo
“The Ultimate Fighter” alum “JT Money” Jesse Taylor (8-2) will fight Dong Sik Yoon (2-6) at DREAM.10 in Saitama, north of Tokyo, 20 July, Taylor announced at his blog.
Taylor tapped Eric DaVila (14-9) in a rear naked choke at Shark Fight in Lubbock last May.
Yoon was TKO’d by Andrews Nakahara (2-0) at DREAM.6 in Saitama last September.
Perhaps Taylor’s most publicized win was against a rented limousine at the Palace Station Hotel in Las Vegas, which led to his dismissal from TUF’s seventh season and admission to Alcoholics Anonymous. Taylor has evidently remained sobor since.

Official: Taylor v Dollaway at Fight Night 14
Wednesday the UFC finally confirmed a match-up between Jesse Taylor (6-2) and TUF 7 runner-up “Doberman” CB Dollaway (6-1).
The wrestlers will meet at Fight Night on 19 July in Las Vegas.
Taylor was kicked off The Ultimate Fighter for drunken antics after the show wrapped. He was to face Amir Sadollah (1-0) in the finale.
Dollaway was Taylor’s replacement after winning a fight-off with Tim Credeur (10-2), but lost the finale match via first round armbar to the new TUF champ Sadollah.
TUF 7: Going Once, Going Twice...Dollaway Makes It
The Ultimate Fighter wasted no time this week in getting into the action as the final semi-final match got on between middleweight “The Doberman” CB Dollaway (6-0) and Amir Sadollah (0-0).
Immediately, both fighters came out striking and spent the first part of the round striking and circling, feeling each other out. Amir landed a left roundhouse kick to the body of CB, knocking CB to the mat. However, Amir moved in too quickly and CB was able to get a double leg take down that he turned into a slam.
Amir then pulled guard and attempted and arm bar as CB worked the ground’n'pound that has thus far been successful for him. Amir was able to avoid most shots as well as stopping CB from passing his guard.
Eventually, Amir was able to sweep CB off of him and get to his feet where he landed a body shot that visibly shook up CB. However, CB recovered and was able to get another take down. He passed to half guard, then took Amir’s back with 15 seconds to go in the round. The round ended with CB in mount on Amir.

TUF 7: Tear-Jerker
Jesse Taylor (6-2) and Tim Credeur (9-2), somewhere in the timeline of living together in the TUF house, like Todd and Copper in The Fox and the Hound, decided to be “friends for life.”
But, business called on Wednesday night’s episode; and, both men looked to family and friends back home for some tear-jerking motivation. (I promise I didn’t almost cry when Credeur was talking about his wife.)
Round one: Nah, let’s talk about Fighters.com’s eighth-ranked light heavyweight coach Forrest Griffin (15-4) first.
1. He can choke out ninth-ranked “Shogun” Mauricio Rua (16-3).
2. He can coach as good as anyone on the show thus far.
3. The man can play hoops. And dunk! Easily.
In a game of The Ultimate Fighter, Vegas’s version of H-O-R-S-E, Griffin pulled no punches when he slaughtered Fighters.com and UFC Light Heavyweight Champion “Rampage” Quinton Jackson (29-6), who confessed, “I suck at basketball. I’m probably the world’s worst basketball player. I don’t play basketball. I kick ass.”
After Griffin won the 10G’s offered by apparent money bags UFC President Dana White, each fighter on his team socked away two grand themselves, thanks to the traditional $1000 offering being doubled after Jackson nailed (okay, he banked it…) a three-pointer when White challenged the gameless champ.
Okay, now round one. Actually…let’s talk about getting drunk and peeing on carpet.
