Meanwhile, at Friday's Strikeforce Challengers event

Julia Budd and Germaine de Randamie became the first women to fight on a Zuffa card, but the match was a stinker as Budd spent the whole fight trying to take de Randamie down or lying on top of her doing very little. Budd was KO'd in 14 seconds in her last fight and de Randamie had already KO'd her in the past in a kickboxing match, so if she seemed a bit gun shy, that might be why. Based on some interviews, I expect de Randamie to head back down to her original weight of 135 pounds. Yeah, Budd's a real 145er and still had trouble muscling around de Randamie. But to be fair, I think at least 20 of those pounds are located solely in Budd's ridonkulous abs.

Quinn Mulhern rocked a sick pornstache and some very active jiu jitsu but it wasn't enough to keep Jason High from slamming him across every square inch of the cage over the course of their 15 minute fight. High dominated the fight from bell to bell, taking Mulhern down at will and keeping busy with nasty looking ground and pound. Mulhern wasn't afraid to throw his legs up and go for rubber guard but High just slipped right out again and again and continued his assault. Pretty impressive showing from Jason High, even if he doesn't agree.
