I don't think so homie. With Women's MMA starving for attention and respect, that kind of fight makes the woman's side of the sport look like the joke many uninformed critis say it is. There are so many great women's fighters out there that would be willing to fight for half of what Couture made and give fans a helluva show. In my opinion, Kim Couture hurt the lady's side of the sport more than any good she's done. If I watched that fight and that was my first time watching women's MMA, my first impression of it is that it is a joke and waste of time and money. Stupid move by Strikeforce, and shame on Xtreme Couture for playing both sides of the fence when it suits them best.

That was a horrible fight and they gave her a chick that was afraid to get punched. Kim Couture better thank her husband to get that kind of money for 0-1 record.

I agree with all your statments frank, i've long hated on xtreme couture, randy and yoko for their undeserved fame, moneygrubbing and cowardice. I just hope they don't taint their good guys, except for junie. He definitely belongs there. That set women’s MMA back IMO especially since it was televised above riggs’ fight nonetheless.

Can't fight and 2. Won't fight I'm not a big fan of women's MMA, but I agree, that "fight" was an embarrassment and more of that will end any hope the women have of breaking into MMA.

For the most part they arent over paying fighters except for a few...This organization has a chance to stick around for a while. I would like to maybe see Sokoudjou land in Strikeforce. Soko vs. Bablu for the title would be bad ass. Speaking of Soko...Affliction better jump on him because there are many good match ups awaiting him in Affliction He could face: Nog (rematch) Tito (if he ever signs) Vladamir Strikeforce is one of the few companies that GETS IT!

Speaking of Soko…Affliction better jump on him because there are many good match ups awaiting him in Affliction He could face:

Nog (rematch)
Tito (if he ever signs)
Vladamir
