Predictions and results for Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg on August 15, 2009 at 10:30 PM EST:
Cris “Cyborg” (7-1) defeated Gina “Conviction” Carano (7-0) via TKO
Predictions: Cris "Cyborg" is predicted to defeat Gina Carano via knockout. Gina appeared weak in her last fight. A stronger opponent would have taken advantage of that and Cyborg just might be that opponent.
Gegard Mousasi (25-2-1) defeated Renato "Babalu" Sobral (35-8) via TKO

Predictions: Melendez is predicted to defeat Ishida by knockout or decision.
Fabricio Werdum defeated Mike Kyle via submission (guillotine choke)

Jay "The Thoroughbred" Hieron def. Jesse "JT Money" Taylor (13-3) via unanimous decision
