The field of Strikeforce fighters scheduled to compete at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California on November 21 recently tipped the scales at the Palm Court in the lobby area of Hotel DeAnza for the official “Destruction” weigh-ins.

MMA veterans Yves Edwards and Duane “Bang” Ludwig will face off at a catch weight of 164 pounds after lightweight champion Josh “The Punk” Thomson was forced to bow out of the match due to a foot injury.

In addition, Kim Couture had already agreed to fight Lina Kvokov prior to the weigh-ins after being informed that Kvokov would not be able to hit the 130lb mark.

All other fighters on the card made their respective weights.

Here are the official results:

205 lbs.: Bobby Southworth (204) vs. Renato “Babalu” Sobral (204)
155 lbs.: Yves Edwards (164) vs. Duane “Bang” Ludwig (163)
170 lbs.: Joe “Diesel” Riggs (170.5) vs. Luke Stewart (170.5)
185 lbs.: Scott “Hands of Steel” Smith (185.5) vs. Terry Martin (186)
130 lbs.: Kim Couture (132) vs. Lina Kvokov (133)

Under card (May not be broadcast):

175 lbs.: Lemont Davis (173) vs. Brian Schwartz (175)
135 lbs.: Brad Royster (134) vs. Darren Uyenoyama (136)
185 lbs.: Tony Johnson (184) vs. Eric Lawson (185)

185 lbs.: Kurt Osiander (185) vs. Josh Neal (184)
185 lbs.: Nik Theotikos (185.5) vs. Luke Rockhold (185.5)

*Note: Fighters are allowed to weigh one pound more than the division limit in non-title fights.

HP Pavilion doors will open for Strikeforce: “Destruction” at 5:30 p.m. MT and the preliminary card will begin at 6:00 p.m. MST. The main card will commence at 7:30 p.m. MT, which will air on HDNet live at this time.

Do you have to download their software to use that site? And any problems experienced if so? I have been “Lime Wired” before and crashed so just hesitant about certain sites if I don’t know much about ‘em. Thanks.

Tonight’s StrikeForce card may very well turn out to be surprising. Call me crazy, but I actually like watching EliteXC more than StrikeForce – not really a fan of StikeForces HDnet production (Thomson vs Melendez). For those that have never watched a StrikeForce event, its somewhat similiar to the first Affliction as for the “gloomy look” and nearly put me to sleep. Although, the production for Ludwig/Morgan was a bit better. Or I’m just crazy and its mainly because I watched Thomson/Melendez at someone elses house rather than my own…

However, this main card has MUCH more exciting matchups than the last few StrikeForce cards. StrikeForce always has solid up and coming fighters mixed in with veterans.

I got:
Babalue by whatever he wants
Ludwig in somewhat of an upset
Luke Stewart by submission
Terry Martin by TKO from body punches (if he’s smart and has watched tape on Smith he will viciously attack Smith’s body)
Kim Couture, hopefully she gets beaten up pretty badly again

good call on Smith/Martin VM….some of the Strikeforce shows have been VERY gloomy but one of the Playboy shows was actually pretty good…
