Background

A welterweight bout between Nate Coy and Nate Moore, which was originally scheduled to take place at ShoMMA 13, took place at this event.[3]

Six of the preliminary card fights were streamed live on Sherdog.com.[4]

This was the last Strikeforce event to feature amateur bouts, which were removed from all future Strikeforce cards following the promotion's sale to Zuffa, LLC in March 2011.[5]

Strikeforce Challengers color commentator Pat Miletich filled in for the absent Gus Johnson on the live broadcast of this card.[6]

The event drew an estimated 561,000 viewers, with a peak at 850,000 on Showtime.[7][8][9]
