Daniel Cormier UFC contract is signed, sealed, and delivered, according to the man himself, who revealed as much on the UFC 155 weigh-ins show on FUEL TV today (Dec. 28, 2012) in Las Vegas. Before he can come to the Octagon and wreck shop, though, he's got business to take care of in Strikeforce, like his scheduled bout against Dion Staring on Jan. 12, 2013, in Oklahoma City.

Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace Roger Gracie has signed with Team Black House and will make his middleweight debut in his next outing, according to MMAFighting.com. The budding Strikeforce star is 4-1 and will add some sorely needed depth to the promotion's middleweight division.

Miesha Tate's arm is surely hurting like hell today following her submission loss to Ronda Rousey at last night's (March 3, 2012) Strikeforce event in Ohio but it's not all bad. She may have lost her women's bantamweight championship belt but she was crowned the winner of the one and only MMAmania.com sexiness battle. She beat out Rousey by a mere 33 votes. Judge Thomas Myers, who oversaw the proceedings, came in third. Here are the unofficial results: Tate: 574 votes Rousey: 541 votes Judge Myers: 69 votes

Ronda Rousey breaks Miesha Tate's arm (GIF) at Strikeforce in Columbus, Ohio, last night (Sat., March 3, 2012). Amazingly enough, this was the second attempted armbar, as Tate escaped the first, though it looked as though her arm may have popped there as well. It's also possible it's only dislocated but either way, that arm is jacked up. For more click here and here. Check the comments section for another slo-motion angle.
