Weeeeeeee're Back.... Trevor Dueck and Jeremy Brand are back with MMASucka Radio. We aren't pulling anymore strings. We will bring the goods to you straight and raw. Our first guest for our second go at MMASucka Radio is none other than UFC 142 co-main event fighter, Anthony "Rumble" Johnson.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission released the final salaries for all fighters who took part in last Saturday's Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine fight card at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Sarah Kaufman was not pleased at all to hear that Ronda Rousey was possibly getting a title shot against Meisha Tate (which is now official).

The first Strikeforce event of the year went down last night with Luke Rockhold putting his middleweight championship on the line against Keith Jardine. The co-main event brought Robbie Lawler back to his winnings ways by dropping Adlan Amagov with a flying knee. Rounding out the main card was “King Mo” Lawal TKO'ing Lorenz Larkin, and two different split decisions with Tyron Woodley def. Jordan Mein and Tarec Saffiedine def. Tyler Stinson.
