"Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Masvidal" - December 17, 2011...Gilbert Melendez proves he's one of the best in the world, while Cris Cyborg falls from grace

Inside the Hexagon

On this week's episode, we delve into "Melendez vs. Masvidal"! This is a momentous time for Strikeforce, as the promotion renews its deal with Showtime, but also loses a marquee weight class and is forced to reduce its number of events. Despite all the questions surrounding the promotion, there are still fights to feature, and we've got some good ones on this card, including Gegard Mousasi vs. OSP, KJ Noons vs. Billy Evangelista, Cris Cyborg vs. Hiroko Yamanaka, and "El Nino" Gilbert Melendez putting his belt on the line against "Gamebred" Jorge Masvidal in the main event. Cyborg dominates but ultimately loses in the long run...we'll dive deep into it all!
