UR Dirt E "Quick Fix" for August 18, 2008
- The Strikeforce event that will take place in Denver, Colorado at Broomfield Event Center on October 3rd will be aired on the cable premium channel HDNet. The event will feature a bout with Duane "Bang" Ludwig taking on Sammy Morgan and Frank Trigg facing Falaniko Vitale. Also to compete on the card are Phil Baroni and Pete Spratt.
- According to FCFighter.com UFC middleweight fighter Nate "Rock" Quarry is recovering from a broken orbital floor (which is a bone that keeps an eye in its place) due to someone taking a backswing with a golf club. Quarry had this to say about the accident, “I’m just glad it was me and not some kid or other woman. We had grown men swinging these clubs. If it would have hit a kid or a woman, it would have smashed their face.” Quarry is doing well and says he looks to get a fight in towards the end of the year. There is a rumor that the UFC could hold an event in Quarry's home state of Oregon in November and I'm sure he would like to compete on that card if it becomes a reality.
- In other Strikeforce news the organization has officially announced it's third "Young Guns" card where the promotion will utilize a series of these events to develop the young talent they have to further bolster their roster. The "Young Guns 3" event will be held at the San Jose Civic Auditorium in San Jose, California on September 13. This would be the first of three Strikeforce events with the second event being at the Playboy Mansion on Sept. 20 and the third event in Denver, Colorado on October 3.
