"Strikeforce doesn't mean jack sh** to me," White said. "I could care less what they're doing. I can't even believe that people put their name in a conversation. 'Oh, what about Strikeforce?' What about Strikeforce? They're minor league. You might as well ask me about what is going on with the DEF or the ZBY or some other small organization from around the world."
When we asked Scott Coker to respond on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour, the Strikeforce CEO channeled his inner Rodney King.

"Before I tried out I was sitting in my bathtub, just visualizing myself holding the trophy," McGee told MMA Fighting. "It was just a thought that came to me. I saw that glass trophy, me being the next Ultimate Fighter, and it was pretty powerful."
Is Renan Barao WEC's Next Superstar? Jose Aldo Thinks So
By Mike ChiappettaPosted: 06/18/2010 10:25 AM ET
The 23-year-old Barao finally brings that long run of success to a major promotion when he faces Anthony Leone during Sunday's WEC 49 undercard in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and many think you should mark this date on your calendar as the start of something big.

Former Bantamweight Champ Eddie Wineland Wants to Stay in the Hunt
By Matt EricksonPosted: 06/18/2010 08:17 AM ET

Wineland was the WEC's first champ at 135 pounds. He won the belt at WEC 20, knocking out Antonio Banuelos for the title. But that was in the WEC's pre-Zuffa era, before the big TV deal with Versus and really before "MMA" was a household term. Casual fans not really knowing him could be forgiven. Besides, he lost the belt less than a year later in his first defense at WEC 26.
But on Sunday, at WEC 49 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Wineland goes after his third straight win, and he'll do it against Will Campuzano to open the televised card on Versus – the latest step on his goal to get another crack at the title.
"You always want to be on the main card – everybody always wants to be seen," Wineland said. "But whether I'm the first fight or the last fight, as long as I'm there and I get to fight and I get that win, that's really all that matters."
Matchups Announced for Sengoku Bantamweight Asia Tournament

The second round of the tournament will be held in late August at SRC 14. One seeded fighter from Shooto, Pancrase, Cage Force and ZST will face the second round victors in the third round of the tournament to be held in late October presumably at SRC 15. The eventual champion of the tournament will have to win five times if they are an unseeded fighter or three if they are seeded.
There were open applications for the tournament to Asian fighters under the age of 35 who have at least five professional fights or Olympic experience although those rules weren't strictly adhered to.
Kazuyuki Miyata vs. Kazuhisa Watanabe Added to July 5 K-1 WORLD MAX

Akiyo "Wicky" Nishiura, who TKO'ed Hideo Tokoro at DREAM.14, was the preferred MMA representative but an injury sustained in that fight has kept him from making his K-1 debut.
Shohei Asahara, Toshiki Taniyama and Koya Urabe, who were all victorious in the opening round of the 63 kg tournament but failed to earn a spot in the Final 8, have been added in reserve fights.

The 11th season of the UFC's reality show comes to an end on Saturday night with the Ultimate Fighter Finale, featuring Court McGee vs. Kris McCray for the "Ultimate Fighter" title and Matt Hamill vs. Keith Jardine in the bout that should be the best of the night.

Sengoku Raiden Championship 13: Preview and Predictions

Featherweight Champion Masanori Kanehara will attempt to make his first defense against Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and knockout artist Marlon Sandro in a fight which will surely make an impact on most people's rankings lists.
Along with the title fight Olympic Silver Medalist Hiroshi Izumi, Sanae Kikuta cutting over 30 lb to welterweight, Maximo Blanco, Shigeki Osawa, Ikuo Usuda and SRC's Welterweight GP all make this an unmissable card for a glimpse into the future of Japanese MMA.
After the break, predictions so good that I like to call them pre-fight results.
