Strikeforce: Tarec Saffiedine Beats Scott Smith
Filed under: Strikeforce, News
Tarec Saffiedine put on an impressive striking display in winning a one-sided victory over Scott Smith on Saturday night's Strikeforce card, easily winning and handing Smith his third straight loss.It was a solid performance by Saffiedine, who improves to 11-3 in his MMA career. And it was tough to see Smith, a longtime favorite of MMA fans for his hard-hitting style, fail to land much of anything and get completely outclassed by Saffiedine. Smith, who's 17-9, may be nearing the end of the road.

The first round felt like a five-minute feeling-out period, with both fighters looking a little bit tentative, but Saffiedine seemed to be doing a better job of finding his range, and he deserved to win the round. Smith, perhaps mindful that he was coming off a knockout loss, seemed to be extremely cautious about avoiding getting hit.
Early in the second round Saffiedine landed a good head kick, but Smith shook it off. A combination of punches a minute later, however, had Smith looking hurt and leaning against the cage to get his balance. From there Saffiedine grabbed Smith in the clinch and landed three straight short elbows, and Smith appeared to be in a lot of trouble. Another head kick had Smith wobbled, and Saffiedine took Smith to the ground with two minutes left in the round. Smith was able to break free and get back to his feet, however, and he survived the round despite Saffiedine landing yet another head kick.
In the third Saffiedine looked like he knew he had the fight locked up, and Smith looked like he knew he was beaten. Saffiedine continued to pick Smith apart from distance, while Smith appeared visibly frustrated at his ability to land anything significant. Both fighters clearly knew who had won as the final horn sounded.
Two judges scored the fight 30-27 and one scored it 30-26 for Saffiedine, who earned the biggest win of his career.

Decorated welterweight Brian Ebersole (www.brianebersole.com) will blog his experiences leading up to his UFC 133 clash with Dennis Hallman for Sherdog.com readers.
You know what? I really didn't give Hollywood, Calif., much of a chance, but I warmed up to it over the course of this last week.
Before arriving there, and coupled with my experiences in northern California, I assumed that Hollywood would be anything and everything but "normal." But I was well-surprised, as the neighborhoods were similar to what I'd see in Illinois' nicer suburbs. I thought that Hollywood would have busy streets, busy sidewalks, and really busy people, but to my surprise, it seemed like a pretty relaxed place and folks seemed a bit more down to earth, rather than the pretentious attitude that I expected.
Upon arrival, I headed to an apartment just off of Sunset Boulevard. Part of the reason I decided to take a few days in L.A. was the fact that I had two former teammates living in the area. I stayed with fellow MMA fighter, Andrew Montanez, who had lived with me for a short time in San Jose, where we'd trained at Frank Shamrock's academy.

Always Improving
Image via WikipediaDuring the last few days, I’ve been doing about an hour of roadwork each day, in the blustery weather. It hasn’t been anything fancy: just long, slow, distance, a few sprints to spice things up, running sideways for short distances, and running backwards when there are no people, cars, or dogs nearby. Why [...]
