引用ShoMMA: Strikeforce Challengers is a mixed martial arts series produced by the mixed martial arts organization Strikeforce and the Showtime cable network.[1] Similar to Showtime's earlier ShoXC, the purpose of the series is to highlight up and coming MMA fighters.
The second ShoMMA event took place on June 19, 2009 at the ShoWare Center in Kent, Washington.[3] The event was sanctioned by the Washington State Athletic Commission which, as opposed to other athletic commissions, didn't use one-pound allowances during the weigh-ins. In response, Strikeforce made contracts which automatically defaulted into catchweights to allow fighters the extra pound.[4]
