Today, all but one of the competitors competing under the Strikeforce banner for tomorrow's event, made the required weight limit for their respective bouts. Headliner's Dan Henderson and Renato Sobral were green lighted for the event when the two light heavyweights came in under the required 205-pound limit. Strikeforce debutant Paul Daley successfully made the 170-pound limit, which in the past he has notoriously struggled with weighty issues however came in at 169 pounds for the welterweight contest. And Scott Smith, who spent nearly his entire career as a middleweight, easily made the transition to the welterweight class when he came in at 170-pounds on the nose. ...

A last minute addition to this Saturday's Strikeforce event, Benji Radach will return to the cage when he takes on Ovince St. Preux in a light-heavyweight match up. UFC veteran Radach will return to action for the first time since a knockout loss to Scott Smith in April of 2009. He has stayed out of action for better part of 2010 due to mounting injuries, his last being a case of staph which infected his chest shortly after Benji had undergone surgery on a torn pectoral muscle. Now, fighting as a light heavyweight for the first time in his career, Radach will return to action on just six-days notice against budding prospect, St. Preux. ...

It is still one of the great moments in UFC history, at the Ultimate Fighter 4 Finale in 2006, as Pete Sell had Scott Smith stumbling and ready to fall due to a crippling body shot.  Rising from a bent cowering position, Smith recovered just enough to surprise Sell with a massive right hand as Sell was rushing in to finish a badly hurt Smith.  Sell was suddenly out cold on the mat and Smith was awarded the victory while still in agony from Sell’s original body blow. This moment may have started the “legend” of Scott Simth, but as fans have learned, it was just the beginning.  He has taken the Mohammed Ali “rope a dope” style to new levels, and was nearly finished against Benji Radach and Cung Le only to rise from near cage death to land devastating blows and pull victory from the edge of defeat, leaving fans with jaws dropped in stunned awe. ...

American Top Team middleweight Benji Radach (19-4) knocked out "Ninja" Murilo Rua (16-9-1) at 2:31 of the second round Saturday night in Sunrise, north of Miami. Radach is expected to earn an EliteXC title shot versus fourth-ranked "Ruthless" Robbie Lawler (16-4). "Man, I hit him so hard a lot of times," Radach said after the referee pushed him off of Rua after landing four unanswered punches to Rua's head as he lie on the mat. "Ninja" had stumbled after launching a flying knee and Radach fed him a straight right, then three right hooks. The finish resembled the entire fight: Radach landing sledgehammers to Rua's head. Rua was most successful on the mat in the first round when he worked a Kimura, then nearly locked in a heel hook until Radach rolled free. ...
