Fedor Emelianenko Loses to Fabricio Werdum

Fedor has finally lost a fight after 10 years of going undefeated and only ever losing once before in his career. He got caught by Fabricio Werdum and submitted via arm lock. He made a mistake but didn't necessarily look bad doing it. He dominated the striking but lost when the fight went to the ground. Lots if interesting fights left at heavyweight in Strikeforce. Still think Fedor is the best but for now Werdum will take the mantle of top heavyweight with Fedor dropping to number two. I think a Fedor rematch or a title shot against Overeem makes sense for Werdum. Probably a title shot against Overeem since the champ needs another fight in the US.

In other action, Cung Le looked great in taking out Scott Smith and righting the ship after he got caught late against Smith in their first match. Le basically continued his domination of Smith but finished the fight this time around making no mistakes. Interesting fights with Robbie Lawlor or others await Le if he decides to continue fighting.

In women's action, Cyborg won again against an outmatched lesser known opponent. The girl needs some competition as there isn't really much out there at the moment.
