Strikeforce, which didn't sign Gerald Harris because it's focusing on the roster it currently has, recently parted ways with MMA veterans "Smokin'" Joe Villasenor and Joe "Diesel" Riggs, according to Five Ounces of Pain.

wtf really?
We’ll see these guys on the next super stacked Shark Fights card in a month. With their record and notoriety they wont be out of a job for long. “Smaller” shows will snatch these dudes up in a heartbeat.
"That fight was like just waiting with tension for the pitbull to rip apart the bunny....
then all of a sudden the bunny turns into fucking bear and fucks up everyone’s moneylines and parlays.." -NNR
Late Takedown FTW
Seems strange, Riggs won his last fight on the challengers show.
"Fundamentals are a crutch for the talentless" - Kenny Powers
you're right...he was on a two fight win streak.....
Would have been a great test for T-Woodley or Tarec.
BIG NOG for Life
One Step closer to Gleison Tibau @ 145
If the round is too close, it's 10-10, NOT flip a coin 10-9 or late takedown FTW.

doesn't make sense at all
They are always struggling to find good fights for their talent, and yet they continue to let real fighters like these two guys go. Way to thin out your already thin promotion.
Don't be a sensitive little girl.
Definitely need to trim the fat i say.....
the loser of T wood and Tarec needs to go…..Shane Del Rosario needs to go……lavar is on thin ice but they need to keep Kalahe Hose….JZ too definitely needs to go.

neither of them are cutting it anymore. they should just retire already.

This is a significant sign...
Dropping these guys and not signing up and coming fighters tells me they are hemorraging money somewhere.
I was thinking the same thing.
It just doesn;t amke much sense.
Alexander Tyler - "A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years."
Eh, SF puts on like a real card every few months. don’t really need a big roster to do that.
just put diaz, hendo, scott smith, a heavyweight that they can actually get to fight, lawler, and guys for them to smash (or get smashed in the case of smith) and your good to go with an awesome SF card full of knock outs
I guess we know where the extra $$$ to resign Fedor is coming from.
These are the kind of guys that your young up and comers need to beat to build their credibilty . Seems stupid to me. I’m going with slim, they must be going broke.
Dumb move
seems like strikeforce only has time for there big names like fedor and diaz and such. All the middle level guys they dont try to build up which is a shame.
No big deal
They have better fighters and bigger fish to fry than these guys. Not a big loss in my eyes
