Well, much like Affliction before it, Strikeforce is having trouble getting guys into the ring. Nick Diaz skipped a drug test and will not be fighting this weekend. So, Jesse Taylor will be taking his place. That's right Ko-Ko the monkey from TUF. I guess he's riding a 7-fight win streak, six of those wins are in 2009. He's also won two belts. Granted, his last victory in Japan was due to his opponent hurting his foot/ankle and not being able to continue. And the titles he won were minor promotions. Still, the guy seems game and apparently loves to fight. He made some mistakes in the UFC, but has continued his career. Good luck JT$.
I don't get Showtime, but I'm interested in seeing this event. Carano vs Cyborg, Sobral vs Mousasi and a lightweight title fight are also on the card. There's more to life than just the UFC.
