So Strikeforce was pretty good tonight, huh? Aoki kicked things off with a nice neck crank. Mousasi should've gotten the win 29-27. Melendez looked great out there; those elbows were brutal. Now finally him calling out the UFC lightweight champion doesn't seem so stupid now since they have been bought by Zuffa. But it's a long line of title contender already and I don't see the title unification happening for a little while, but his promo was nice. And lastly, I liked Diaz/Daley. Good fight, and Diaz getting the win was great to see.
Cecil Peoples being a referee for a Zuffa fight is because the althetic commisions pick the referees, not the promotion. And he has also judged many UFC fights as well, so it's not like the commissions keep him away from doing anything with the promotion.
