While most fans in around the world will have to check out the Sherdog.com live video stream to get a glimpse of "Strikeforce at the Mansion II" next Saturday, our friendly neighbors to the north in Canada will be able to watch the event their television sets thanks to a deal struck between the San Jose-based organization and The Score Network.

The Score Network is a Canadian-based television network primarily based around sports news, highlights and live event sports coverage. It provides all the WWE coverage in Canada, as well has NBA, NFL and NCAA sports action.

The deal calls for the network to begin its Strikeforce event coverage on September 20 with "Strikeforce at the Mansion II" beginning at 10:30 p.m. ET. There is also a program that debuted last Saturday (September 6) in the mold of the successful late night program in the U.S. titled, "Strikeforce on NBC," which the network will continue to feature going forward.

Here's a snip from John Levy, Chairman and CEO of Score Media Inc on the deal:

"The Score looks forward to bringing an awesome line up of Strikeforce MMA programming to viewers across the country and as we go from live broadcasting of our studio launch party on September 20th to 'Strikeforce At The Mansion II,' we know we'll be giving our fans a broadcast line-up they can't resist."

Strikeforce has really been making a push to get to that next level as a mixed martial arts promotion. It's a shame a once solid fight card for its second trip to the Playboy Mansion has been bombarded with injuries.

The good news is that the promotion almost always delivers solid events. And this one should be no different -- even with the watered down match ups. The main event of the night will be the Strikeforce debut of Japanese stand out Kazuo Misaki. He'll face former UFC top contender Joe "Diesel" Riggs.

Lightweight Champion Josh "The Punk" Thomson will also be in action, as well as another top lightweight fighter Mitsuhiro "Endless Fighter" Ishida.

Strikeforce still feels like this event will be an exciting one for their new Canadian television viewers.

Here's a snip from Strikeforce founder and CEO Scott Coker:

"We are excited about the opportunity to bring the Strikeforce MMA product to fans in Canada. The Score has a reputation for being an exceptional sports television platform and we are proud to join their family of programming."
