Observations From My Couch: Strikeforce's "Lawler vs. Shields"

• Kevin Randleman: another aging fighter refusing to go out quietly and gracefully. "The Monster" is no longer scary.
• I hate that Phil Baroni has gone from being the guy that can dish out a beating to the guy known for being able to take one.
• Who was that version of Joe Riggs and why didn't we see him in the UFC?
• And who the hell is this Nick Diaz? That dude is making it look easy!
• It sucks that Andrei Arlovski had to lose, but now we've got another world-class heavyweight knockout artist to get excited over. Brett Rogers in the hizzouz.
• Well, well, well. I guess Jake Shields is for real.
