Sherdog.com StaffJan 12, 2013

Following the final Strikeforce event, Jordan Breen took to the Sherdog Radio Network for "Beatdown After the Bell" to discuss the landmark event, headlined by Tarec Saffiedine's upset welterweight title win against Nate Marquardt.

Breen breaks down the full 11-fight offering, detailing how Saffiedine pulled off his notable upset in the final Strikeforce bout, the futures of Daniel Cormier and Josh Barnett in the UFC, how Strikeforce's middleweight crop will offer a significant shot in the arm to the UFC's 185-pound division and even the shortcomings of the refereeing and officiating in Oklahoma. The "Cheap Seats" host also delves into the most important moments and fights in the promotion's history and why those snapshots-in-time might not tell the whole story for the importance of the organization.

Breen also fields the post-fight slate of calls, emails and tweets, analyzing how Showtime will stay in the MMA game after Strikeforce, the cruel circumstance of Dion Staring, which Strikeforce fighters have the best chance to grab UFC gold and much more.
