(Hey look, Roy Jones Jr. set his Wikipedia page to music! Props to Sagiv Lapkin)
The UFC might be where the finest mixed martial artists in the world compete, but Strikeforce is cool with their role as the wild-ass cousin who just brings the ruckus. Since they signed their new Showtime contract, Coker and Co. have dispensed with silly limitations like weight classes (see: Diaz/Shamrock, Lawler/Shields, Diaz/Smith, all at unconventional catchweights), and they’re the only major American fight club currently featuring women’s MMA. Plus, unlike Dana "Crabbypants" White, they don’t think putting a legendary boxer against an MMA fighter is below them or bad for the sport. As GracieFighter.com informs us:
Well, you won this round 10-9, Coker. And honestly, if you’re an MMA promoter that hopes to survive in the same market as the UFC, you have to take these little edges where you can get them. Strikeforce’s loosey-goosey, we’ll-do-whatever approach is giving them a clear point of differentiation from the UFC, which is crucial because Strikeforce won’t last if it’s just a premium-cable version of the UFC with less-famous fighters; the product needs to be different in some fundamental way. And as long as they don’t go the extreme freak route — i.e., bringing Bob Sapp back for a Super Hulk GP — they might be onto something. Better start working that gogoplata-defense, Roy.

The only thing I forgot was how bad this song/video was
Wed, 05/06/09 - 01:17
why
Wed, 05/06/09 - 01:19
u kiddin me. bye bye diaz. this is a professional BOXER, and u want to BOX him? Too many bong tokes. By the way, am i first?
Wed, 05/06/09 - 01:19
guess not
Wed, 05/06/09 - 01:19
Damn it. Roy Jones will die!
Wed, 05/06/09 - 01:21
I like the angle Strikeforce is taking. Better hope Roy knows some takedown defense, otherwise...yeah... What if Nick goes the ego route and stands with him ... AND knocks HIM out? not with knees, kicks or elbows, but with a simple jab/cross ... what...then?
Wed, 05/06/09 - 01:22
@ bbbcswr... "u kiddin me. bye bye diaz. this is a professional BOXER, and u want to BOX him?" read above... "under MMA rules." you are not first, and you might be the one taking too many bong tokes.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 01:22
first!
Wed, 05/06/09 - 01:22
No one in mma would beat RJJ in boxing. However, I think Nick would probably tap him out 9 times out of 10 under MMA rules... Unless Nick has the balls to stand with Roy... In which case, 9 out of 10 would be won by RJJ via KO
Wed, 05/06/09 - 01:26
JUNIE BROWNING IS THE P4P BEST FIGHTER IN THE FUCKING UNIVERSE. IF YOU FAGS DONT LIKE IT YOU CAN SUCK MY ANUS.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 01:27
Roy better start working on his sprawl and brawl.... other wise this is going to end quick. Diaz by sub....
Wed, 05/06/09 - 01:28
if nick gets in any trouble he will just take him down.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 01:29
Nick Diaz is a friggin HOMO!
Wed, 05/06/09 - 01:29
****sad face**** (for that roy jones song)
Wed, 05/06/09 - 01:33
Diaz would be retarded to try and stand with him at all. Just get the take down immediately and don't get cute.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 01:33
diaz is a bad matchup for rjj, he'll judo throw him and submit him in the first round.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 01:37
"loosey goosey" = giving the fans what they want What a novel concept!!!!!
Wed, 05/06/09 - 01:44
I love the idea of RJJ coming to compete in MMA, and I've been saying all along if the UFC dont want to do it, then Strikeforce should. However, Nick Diaz against Roy Jones?? Nick's going to get smoked. Anderson Silva on the other hand is the more attractive fight. Strikeforce, do the fight but not with Diaz.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 01:49
First!....okay i had to do that. and i agree with GSP's vaseline....not diaz who took too many bong tokes
Wed, 05/06/09 - 01:49
Caps Lock, it shows your stupidity when you make fucking comments like that. Junie Browning is a joke. Nothing special whatsoever. You are a fucking idiot. Lets fight pussy.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 01:52
Now back to actuall MMA discussion with the big boys: Nick will probably end up taking roy down and submitting him in a matter of seconds. I do however think that Nick might get cocky and try and box Roy.. Guess well just have to see what gameplan he comes up with when hes all baked.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 01:54
Strike force for the win! set it up please.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 01:56
sounds good to me rjj gets choked out in 1st round.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 02:02
EVERYONE KNOWS I DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT MMA, I JUST WANT YOUR ATTENTION, IM A SORRY FAG THAT HASNT HAD PUSSY SINCE PUSSY HAD ME. SCM, I DONT WANT TO FIGHT YOU, JUST WANT TO GET THAT STRAIGHT, IM A PUSSY THAT DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT MMA.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 02:08
Pussy bitch. I want to fight you badly.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 02:10
Lets face it Diaz is crazy enough to stand and bang with RJJ and he does actually have a chance in the stand up game, when last have you seen a pro boxer check a leg kick...
Wed, 05/06/09 - 02:14
NO NEED TO CALL ME A PUSSY BITCH, I JUST ANNOUNCED, (IF EVERYONE DIDNT ALREADY KNOW), I AM A PUSSY BITCH. PLEASE STOP WITH ALL THIS VIOLENCE TALK. I CROSSED THE LINE A FEW TIME ON HERE, BUT I KNOW IM JUST A SHIT TALKER AND HOPE YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND THAT. PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 02:28
Why dont they agree to doing a two fight deal? One fight would be boxing the other would be MMA. Alistair Overeem was supposed to fight Badr Hari in kickboxing and then later on in MMA fight but put on such a beating on Hari that there seems to be no interest in seeing Hari in a unfamiliar setting. Id watch Diaz get his ass kicked in boxing but no way Jones lasts 1min with Diaz in the ring.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 02:37
I FUCKING LOVE TWINKIES AND ILL TELL YOU WHY....I LOVE TO SUCK THE CREAM FROM THE CENTER....ITS WHAT I DO MOTHER FUCKERS. KING OF CP FUCKERS
Wed, 05/06/09 - 02:40
Twinkies are lame. Deep fried twinkies are good. Wierd but good. Your still a tool Caps Lock. And Im not gonna stop wanting to fight you.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 02:43
There wouldn't be any getting into trouble and then taking Jones down for Diaz. If he was arrogant enough to stand with Jones, which he probably is, the first shot Diaz was hit with would most likely knock him into oblivion. Of course if Diaz decided to just take down Jones he would completely dominate him.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 02:46
SORRY GUYS, DIDNT MEAN TO DO THAT, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY PUSSY BLEEDING ALL OVER THE PLACE AND IT MAKES ME SAY STUPID SHIT LIKE THAT. I ALSO MENT TO SAY I AM THE PRINCESS OF CP.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 02:51
LMFAO Anderson Silva would have taken this fight, and made a spectacle out of it. Nick Diaz is going to fucking slaughter Roy Jones on the ground, short fight, expected results. (Diaz 1st round Sub 1:33) (unless they perhaps throw some money Nicks way to keep it standing......)
Wed, 05/06/09 - 02:52
P4P best rapper in the history of the world. WHERE CAN I BUY THIS ALBUM?? so next time I forget I can listen to this song and be like 'oh yeah Roy Jones Jr did beat Vinny Paz'.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 03:04
Roy would kick the crap out of Diaz! i don't think that will be a good fight and i wouldn't pay for it either.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 03:06
Strikeforce is where its at baby. fuck the ufc!
Wed, 05/06/09 - 03:22
Is this official? or just something they want to set up?
Wed, 05/06/09 - 03:30
If this is real then I'm glad this org picked Diaz for it; he is finally getting the recognition he deserves. It's just too bad we'll probably never see a Diaz/GSP tilt.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 03:34
"I'm going to fight untill I retire" Holy shit no way seriously?
Wed, 05/06/09 - 03:44
Roy Jones is just plowing smoke peeps. no way he gets in a cage. Diaz would bring the Stocton upside his head. hell, RJJ couldnt beat Kit Cope in a fucking cage..... maybe Junie Browning, but thats about it.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 03:56
RJJ is one of the greatest boxers of all time. Well past his prime but still will whoop diaz standing up. Fortunately Diaz doesn't have to keep it standing. Diaz by submission whenever he feels like it.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 04:09
yea, i definitely see diaz getting a first round submission on this fight if he is smart and tries for takedowns! Scott Coker is doing a pretty good job keeping his organization alive and well.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 04:19

COME ON QUEER, I'M READY TO RIP YOUR HEAD OFF.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 04:29
@ Danal White Ditto. Strike Force should do a two fight deal, one boxing and one mma, the only problem is that this will more than likely result in a 1-1 record. Also, wouldn't RJJ usually demand millions for a fight? Even the UFC won't pay out that much.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 04:31
I think Nick will have the ego to stand with RJJ...for about 2 minutes. When he feels how hard a proffesional boxer punches and with the accuracy to boot he wont be able to take him down fast enough for a submission. The worst thing that can happen here is Nick not taking him down and getting his ass kicked badly standing up. Then we would have to hear Kimbo like hype over RJJ's MMA skills when he clearly has none.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 04:48
i don't understand at all how this would be bad for the sport. when brock lesnar came to MMA he was the same thing as koschek, a great wrestler. he had one of the skills utilized in mma. he then began developing the others. this is exactly what RJJ is, he is a striker, who wants to make a move to MMA. just like lesnar or kos were wrestlers who made the move. he's really good at one of the skills you need in mma. whether or not he wants to learn the other skills or compete with what he has is really his perogative, there are some pretty one dimensional guys who do ok in mma. so how is this bad for the sport in any way? i don't get it. from what i gather this is how the majority of guys get into mma. they're good at one thing and they learn the other stuff, or they fight with what they've got and maybe pay for it.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 04:57
Me and Caps Lock are fighting in 3 weeks. Looking forward to it boys. Im gettin it on video.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 04:57
Roy Jones hasn't been relevant in 5 years. Not to say he still can't throw a punch, but his speed and skills have greatly diminished. I am kinda hoping he gets his arm kimura'd off, and even if whoever he fights keeps it standing, I don't see him taking any kicks well at all. I'd pay a small cover to drink beer and eat shitty food to see this.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 05:04
Hopefully Roy will cross train and not expect to win with one dimension... however... if Nick tries to stand with him Nick will probably wake up some time in 2011. Boxing has not represented itself properly because every boxer to go to MMA has been washed up (Roy included) and so far has not trained for an MMA fight. I think a top notch boxer would dominate when given proper ground training. Just like a wrestler who trains to punch does well. But until the money is the same you wont see a top notch boxer give MMA a chance.
Wed, 05/06/09 - 07:27
Diaz is going to kill a shot RJJ. Homey!!!!!
Wed, 05/06/09 - 08:54
rjj promotes hybrid cards. he should fight an mma match in one of those
Wed, 05/06/09 - 09:50
Nick was a pro boxer. But he isnt anything close to RJJ. But its not a boxing match. RJJ never won a championship in MMA
Thu, 05/07/09 - 02:15
You all are a bunch of noobs. Strikeforce already declined the offer from Roy. He'll be going for a trifecta should Tom Atencio say, sorry not interested.
Thu, 05/07/09 - 08:35
By the way that caption is hilarious because its true.
Thu, 05/07/09 - 10:10
I remember seeing Roy performing at SpringFest in downtown Pensacola. Funniest shit ever!!! They wouldn't pay him to perform on the main stages. The only way he could do it was by entering the local artist competition and being on the "Discovery Stage"
Thu, 05/07/09 - 12:47
I hope Dana's new nickname catches on. And I'd love to see this fight...Diaz stands with him for the first round just to prove a point, but ends up only throwing his normal arm punches and loses the round. Second round comes and he brings the fight to him, submitting him not once, but twice, before the ref can stop him.
Thu, 05/07/09 - 02:02
If Nick stands with Roy.... he won't make it out of round 1. Sorry everyone... I love MMA too... but they don't have any strikers at a top notch boxing level. Roy is washed up... and until they pay 30 million instead of thousand, the worlds best boxers wont even think of cross training. Anderson silva was a pro boxer.... he dominates in the stand up.... and he had 2 pro fights... lost one... won one... and both were to nobodies.
Thu, 05/07/09 - 03:12
I think Roy and Nick should have a rap fight like on 8 mile.
