Saturday marked CBS and Strikeforce’s second show working in tandem, and it left much to be desired.

The broadcast boasted three title fights across three weight-classes, and marked the Strikeforce promotional debut of former UFC and PRIDE Fighting Championships stalwart, “Dangerous” Dan Henderson.

Hendo, as he’s known, was a heavy betting favorite going into Saturday night. Most fans of sports betting picked the former Olympic wrestler to batter Strikeforce middleweight champion Jake Shields into unconsciousness. While Shields has tremendous grappling acumen, it was prognosticated that Henderson’s right hand would tell the tale on Saturday night. Moments into the bout, it appeared that all was going according to plan.

Henderson connected with one big overhand right and dropped Shields, but the American wrestler recovered and went on to stifle Henderson with takedowns and a crushing top game. Shields threatened with chokes and scored takedowns at will, exposing Henderson’s woeful defensive wrestling game. Shields went on to win a 49-46 unanimous decision.

It was the action post fight that had most fans of online sports betting talking, however. During Shields’ post-fight interview, Jason “Mayhem” Miller, who fought on the undercard, interrupted the interview to ask for a rematch with Shields, the Northbet odds winner. Shields’ teammates from the Caesar Gracie fight team, notably Nick and Nate Diaz then instigated a brawl, attacking Miller in concert and touching off a melee the likes of which we have not seen in MMA since the infamous Hammer House/Chuteboxe debacle at PRIDE 31 in early 2006.

While “Mayhem” clearly bears some responsibility for interrupting the interview, it is incumbent on the Tennessee State Athletic commission to deal with those who would engage in such unprofessional behavior. Photographs surfaced showing the Diaz brothers stomping and kicking at Miller when he was on the ground. Clearly, there must be some repercussions for such acts.
