Strikeforce Challengers: Riggs Stops Taylor, Tate Wins Tournament

Tate has the best booty in MMA, hands down!

The Strikeforce Women's Welterweight challengers tournament crowned Miesha "Takedown" Tate as the Champion and next in line to face Sara Kaufman. Tate and her opponent Hitomi Akano left it all in the ring with a three round grappling clinic. Tate was threatened with a toe hold in the first but was able to control the fight on the ground for rounds two and three. With the win Tate gets a shot at avenging her previous loss to Tate.

Joe Riggs started out a bit slowly and looked to be on his way to losing a decision as Taylor was scoring with kicks and takedowns. Riggs however landed a heavy left hand that left Taylor dazed and confused. From there Riggs was able to get "Handgunz" into the crucifix position and pounded him out until he tapped out to strikes.
