Post fight melee is highlight of "Strikeforce on CBS"

The most entertaining part of Strikeforce's show on CBS was the post-fight melee involving Jason "Mayhem" Miller and the entire Caesar Gracie team. Each of the three title fights went the distance, lasting an excruciating 25 minutes and all three were dull wrestling matches. The most impressive performance went to Strikeforce middleweight champion Jake Shields who utterly dominated highly favored Dan Henderson. After being nearly knocked unconscious by Henderson in the first round, Shields bounced back utilizing his slick ground skills to control the former Pride champion. Surprisingly, Shields took down Henderson seemingly at will and was able to keep the gritty veteran on his back for most of the fight. A similar scenario occurred in the light-heavyweight title fight between King Mo Lawal and champion Gegard Mousasi. King Mo, a world class international wrestling champion, took Mousasi to the mat very easily and pressed the action for most of the fight. Before the fight I had Mousasi ranked as perhaps the number 3 light heavyweight in world. Another Caesar Gracie standout, Gilbert Melendez, retained his lightweight title with a beatdown of Japanese submission ace Shinya Aoki. Melendez had a solid strategy coming into the fight, and was able to avoid engaging Aoki in a grappling match which would have surely ended his night early. Instead, Melendez was content with picking Aoki apart on the feet.
