Strikeforce: Nick Diaz vs Scott Smith
Nick Diaz and Scott Smith throw down June 6!!
Strikeforce is really amping up the quality of its fights. The latest fight added to their June 6 event pits Nick Diaz against Scott Smith.Diaz last headlined a fight against Frank Shamrock on April 11, where he picked Shamrock apart, and smack-talked him while doing so. Nothing worse than a guy kicking your ass, and telling you he’s kicking your ass while he’s doing said ass kicking.
Smith also fought on the same card, taking out Benji Radach by TKO. Smith was losing the bout, but pulled another TKO out of his rear end, a la Pete Sell, ending the fight. The fight has to be one of the best thus far of 2009. Smith showed great heart and showed how dangerous he is, ending a fight with one punch while hurt. This bout will be contested a a catch weight of 180lbs.
The lineup thus far looks…pretty damn good!!
