Video: Aleks Emelianenko, Kim Couture, & More

The possibly hepatitis-infected Aleksander Emelianenko made short work of Sang Soo Lee at this weekend's M-1 Challenge. Aleks' typically nonchalant style comes off here like he's treating Lee more like a little brother than a serious opponent, but he got the job done in the end.

From last night's Strikeforce, Kim Couture feeds some leather to Lina Kvokov, who seems absolutely stunned that she somehow got lost on the way to pick her kids up from a slumber party and found herself in a fight. Good thing that kind man in the black shirt showed up to stop it.

The full Strikeforce: Destruction event is after the jump.

Wow. The level of fighters outside of the UFC is just sad. Strikeforce just needs to give up and go away. "UFC knockout artist" haha. He was talking about Martin and Smith. That's a joke. Nice knockout though.

Holy shit...that Lina Kvokov really showed up ready to rock. Maybe Kim will step up for her next bout and fight one of those inflatable Bozo the Clown punching bags.

NinJay, I disagree completely. Luke Stewart got KO'd by Joe Riggs, who was a title contender who KOd Nick Diaz and fought Hughes not too long ago; no shame in that. And Luke is a young guy who I think is only 5-2 or 6-2 now, and won the first round pretty handily. Add the fact that he is a BJJ black belt and he can be a great fighter. Darren Uyenimora (probably sp error) is another young fighter with great BJJ credentials as well.

You have to start somewhere before you get to the UFC. Guys like Stewart, DU, and Cung Le all have long futures in my opinion.

The grappling dummy in my gym puts up more of a fight than Lina, but the knee to the Vag by Kim was brutal. Is Kim taking Thai lessons from Alexander Houston?
PS
Don't turn your back on someone when they're punching you cause you MIGHT get hit in the back of the head.
PPS
Next time, if you're afraid to drop your hands to Tap than verbally Tap. Don't just turn your fucking back on your opponent.

'Holy shit…that Lina Kvokov really showed up ready to rock. Maybe Kim will step up for her next bout and fight one of those inflatable Bozo the Clown punching bags.'

lmao now thats funny.

Aleks won but he still looked pretty bad. Chubby, slow, zero footwork. I hope in his next fight he returns to vintage Aleksander form.

Man is it me or does Terry Martin suck?

LOL @ Payday good stuff.

Couture vs Cyborg next in a loser goes to the hospital match.

"Tom couldn't make it, he took off to canada to get married, so congratulations to tom and his life long partner LANCE, I'm happy for you guys" -scott smith

holy shit. i never thought someone could make the WNBA seem talented and like they actually know their sport.

it would be so fun to beat up Kvokov. She looked pathetic. Makes me wish i was a bully and circled her with a bunch of friends and just pushed her around for awhile.

that was why women couldn't vote. END WOMENS SUFFRAGE!!

THERES NO CRYING IN MMA!!!!!!!!!!

Yes i agree you do have to start somewhere. You can't just jump into the UFC. I was harsh in jumping to that conclusion that they all suck. Obviously almost all the UFC fighters started in smaller shows like king of the cage, strikeforce, etc. After reading you responce and giving it some thought i believe you are right. I am just very spoiled by the more mainstream mma, namely, UFC & WEC.

I will say this though; Scott Smith gets beat down bad in UFC, hence why he isn't on contract anymore. Kim is horrible fighter and i really wish more quality woman would jump into the fight scene besides Cyborg and Corrano. I really really want to see Cung Le jump into the ring with bigger named opponents because he is very exciting.

Lates

Seriously when Vladmir Putin is reffin one of Aleksanders matches, I smell a fix

I have to say that Luke Stewart lost a fight, but won a Fan. wow!!!

Was Smith training for chuck liddel before this fight? good gameplan
and the Tom Atencio shout out?? sounds like hes sayin hey Dana, im on ur side. holla at me!

Cung Le is already talking to Dana, but his contract with Strikeforce isn't up. There's an interview video of him talking about it somewhere.

Women's MMA is just hilarious. Between the shitty intro music and cat fighting it's just not something I could ever take seriously. What a joke.

Was it the muff strike that made her turn her back? I saw her miming "Bullshit" while they announced the KO.
Yves was robbed of winning a boring fight, but I was robbed of my time - split decision goes to me.
Glad to see big John back in the cage and nearly silent. I'm surprised that didn't get it's own story...

Can someone please explain to me how the mullet is still an acceptable haircut for Russians?

@d0zer: It's still 1987 in Russia.

Anonymous...you might want to polish up your MMA history. Joe Riggs did not knock out Nick Diaz. He won by unanimous decision at UFC 57. Riggs was nothing more than a gatekeeper during his time in the UFC. He got an undeserved title shot with Matt Hughes and blew it by not making weight. I admit he's an exciting fighter. But, he's nowhere near the level of any of the top welterweights in the world. I do hope Strikeforce continues to grow and take over where EliteXC left off.

haha holy shit womens mma is so pathetic, no talent what so ever. I can't believe all of these fags disrespecting the ufc for not having it. would you ever buy an all womens mma fight card on ppv, I know i wouldn't

babalu was getting owned before the cut, kim was fighting somebody that didn't even want to fight, yves got robbed. what a night

Jordan, I was obviously referring to the fight with Diaz at the hospital after the UFC fight.

I can't get this video to work for me. The is only the large red play button that sends me to the party poker page. Anyone help?

Gina Carano could take those two bitches at once, seriously.

...That just gave me some dirty thoughts. I think I'm gonna go to a different part of the internet for a while.

Womens MMA is so damn terrible. Why would you want to watch that shit... Hey kind of reminds me of all womens sports

WAR KVOKOV!!! Sometimes when you are getting punched in the face the best move is to turn your back and kind of walk away.

I will never in a million years pay to see women's MMA.

When did Big John McCarthy come back to refereeing?

Hate to sound like a tool, but does anyone know where you can buy the shirt that Aleks is wearing or is it custom made? (Don't worry I don't think it's that Affliction garbage considering the lack of skeletons)

It's safe to say that Lina's "hold up I got something in my eye" defence was utterly ineffective.

The Couture, Kvokov fight was bad for MMA. She didn't even fight. They should have stopped it as soon as she turned her back. Did they not watch any tape on her? Has she ever been punched in the face before? She should never fight again, although CagePotato's comments were hilarious.

Yeah the women's "fight" was a total laugh riot. Even my wife was laughing hard at how pathetic it was. You'd think Kvokov had never been punched before, and when she did get punched one time she wanted no more of it. What a joke.

Besides the rather lackluster fights, the whole Strikeforce show seriously lacked a lot of polish. From terrible camera work to technical difficulties, it just screamed "2nd rate". Good fights & fighters or not, they just don't seem ready to put on a live show. It seemed like a big mess to me, and it had a hard time keeping my attention.

Hey did you find the video of kamil uygun at the M1 show?
he is from my country and i would like to see it !
gtz

First of all to say any company that gives Mix Martial Artists the chance to show off what they got, needs to go away? You should give up and go away cause you happen to be a complete idiot a mistake on the doctors part for not aborting you 14 years ago :( Little shit.

Wow not sure what is up with Aleks but he looked off that fight for sure, maybe he was just taking it easy on the Nub who knows, that or maybe he really is sick :/ Either way sucks to see him not his usual self, maybe living in Fedors shadow the last few years has gotten to him finallyt oo. Mutherfucker has some freaky eyes, can tell hes seen a thing or three...
