Frank Shamrock vs. Nate Diaz April 11th

It's on Showtime. I don't have Showtime. Anybody have Showtime?

This is a Strikeforce production. I'm not sure what the rules are.

It's in San Jose, which we all know as Cung Le's backyard... Man I am behind the times. I just read Cung Le's bio and apparently he beat Frank Shamrock in an MMA match? Who knew? And it says that he was an All-American wrestler in high school and JC California state champion from West Valley Junior College. I wrestled in high school growing up in California, and for those that don't know, California has some of the toughest high school and JC wrestling in the nation. To be a JC state champion in California, you actually have to be pretty tough mofo (as well as highly skilled and little bit crazy).

Looking for an Edge? Wear Red

According to a recent study, wearing red can give you an edge when engaging in fighting sports.

In a study on Olympic uniforms, anthropologists at Durham University in England found that evenly matched athletes in the 2004 Games who wore red in boxing, tae kwon do, Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle wrestling defeated those wearing blue 60 percent of the time. The researchers suggested that red, for athletes as for animals, subconsciously symbolizes dominance.

Here's a link to the original study, and another link to the story in the Times.
