Strikeforce Nashville: Jake Shields Dominates Former Two-Division Champ Dan Henderson By: Fighters.com Staff in Gospel Radio

Strikeforce middleweight champion Jake Shields (25-4-1) won a five-round unanimous decision over former two-division PRIDE champion “Hollywood” Dan Henderson (25-8) by judges' scores of 49-46, 49-45, 48-45 to retain his title in Nashville Saturday night.  Fighters.com scored the fight 49-45 for Shields.
Shields dominated rounds two through five by putting Henderson on his back with tenacious takedowns, often initially stuffed by Hendo', and tagging the former UFC challenger with punches from the mount.  Henderson was lost on his back, regaining his guard periodically, but never putting up much of a fight to get Shields off of him.
As Shields became more confident in the mount, he mixed in submission attempts on Henderson.   The third round ended with Henderson struggling to defend a Shields armbar attempt and in the final round Shields attempted a side choke, armbar, and kneebar.
As badly as Hendo's was dominated from round two, he nearly finished the fight with a right hook to Shields's temple in round one.  Shields tipped over head first, but scrambled to make Henderson defend a kneebar as Shields recovered.  Later in the round, Henderson dropped Shields again with three right hooks and followed-up with an uppercut as Shields tried to stand.
After the fight, former Shields opponent “Mayhem” Jason Miller (23-7) interrupted Shields's post-fight interview and a fight errupted in the cage.  After the chaos subdued, Shields apologized for the interruption, though he had little to do with it.

Strikeforce Nashville: Gilbert Melendez Upsets Shinya Aoki With Perfect Strategic Peformance By: Fighters.com Staff in Gospel Radio

Strikeforce lightweight champion “El Nino” Gilbert Melendez (19-2) stunned Dream champion “Tobikan Judan” Shinya Aoki (19-5) in a strategic unanimous decision at Strikeforce: Nashville Saturday night by judges' scores of 50-45 three times.  Fighters.com scored the fight for Melendez 49-46, giving Aoki round one.
The fight was repetitive and Melendez came into the fight with a perfect strategy.
Aoki circled outside as Melendez through straights to Aoki's body.  Aoki shot for single-leg takedowns 18 times, all stuffed by Melendez.
In round one, Aoki was able to pull Melendez into his guard, but Melendez quickly stood out Aoki's sweet spot.
But, by round two Melendez was more confident and dove into Aoki's guard after stuffing the shots.  Aoki attempted to work wrist control, but Melendez stayed just out of reach of submissions while lunging forward with big right hands.
By the end of round two, Aoki's nose was bloodied and his face swelling.
The cycle repeated throughout the fight, with Melendez landing more shots and Aoki looking less confident from his back.
In the final round, after Aoki shot, Melendez had the referee stand him immediately and winged big shots at Aoki's head.  Melendez landed a big straight right before the final bell, leaving Aoki on his back as the fight ended.
