Bleacher Report:
On a night of tremendous highs, and equal lows; anybody who wasn't enjoying this card, just isn't a fan of the sport.
Here's a list chronologically of things I learned from the event in the books.
1. Gina Carano was the first ever female fighter in MMA history... Somewhere Jennifer Howe whelped in agony.
While its easy to snipe at her, now that the main event is over. This is entirely Showtime, and Strikeforce's fault, during the one-minute intro piece Gina Carano was portrayed as three parts Rocky, minus the underdog role, one part, Thomas Edison and one part Farrah Fawcett.
Let's dispel some myths Gina Carano is not the first female fighter ever...She didn't cure cancer, or invent sliced bread.
2. Fabricio Werdum can submit lesser fighters, whoopdy do.
No disrespect to Mike Kyle, he looked threatening to the laymen and had me worried with that armbar for a quarter-second, but why was this fight telecast, over JT and Hieronimus?
Listen, Strik...
