Strikeforce At The Mansion 2 Officially Announced

Posted by Kris Karkoski on Aug 2, 2008 at 11:00 am ET14 Comments

Strikeforce mixed martial arts (MMA) will return to entertainment mogul Hugh Hefner’s world-famous Playboy Mansion in Beverly Hills, CA with a star-studded lineup of cage fights on Saturday, September 20th.

In addition to a full night of MMA action, all “Strikeforce At The Mansion II” guests will be entitled to a top-shelf, open bar; buffet-style, gourmet dinner; and wine-tasting party featuring the spirits of various California gold medal wineries.

Strikeforce wrote a new chapter in MMA history when it produced the sport’s first Playboy Mansion-hosted event on September 29, 2007. Amongst the host of celebrities who attended the affair were Hefner and “The Girls Next Door;” comedians Gary Shandling and Joe Rogan; actress and model Jaime Pressly; actors Michael Duncan Clarke, Christina Fulton, Ethan Suplee, Ernie Hudson, and Page Kennedy; MMA legends Royce Gracie and Bas Rutten; and superstars Cung Le, Frank Shamrock, Josh Barnett, and Andrei Arlovski.

Former Strikeforce World Lightweight (155 lb. limit) Champion Gilbert “El Nino” Melendez battled his way to a unanimous judges’ decision over Japanese road warrior Tetsuji Kato in the main event of Strikeforce’s inaugural show at The Playboy Mansion while middleweight (185 lb. limit) star, Joe “Diesel” Riggs, stopped ageless brawler, Eugene Jackson, in the first round of the 10-bout card’s featured contest.

Competitors enlisted for “Strikeforce At The Mansion II” MMA action will be announced soon.

  • Lord Mark says:

    Hahaha…that’s good sh!t Tmoney! You’re definately going to want both nuts for that kind of event!

  • KOuch says:

    Lord Mark,

    One nut will do me just fine in that type of atmosphere……maybe no nuts blind folded and I still might be good to go……It’s going to be a very nice night for the fighters.

  • Dietrich says:

    KOuch,
    Hef rules the roost! Good bless him…

  • The Gunslinger says:

    i dont know why im asking but has anyone else ever had a dream where bob barker and hef where fighting in the ufc…..

  • KOuch says:

    Gunslinger,

    Sorta…..my dream was more like this:

    I was in some dark smelly hall way when suddenly Bob Barker came along riding on a sperm. Then out of no where Hef comes flying down the smelly hall way on a hotdog. I kept trying to find an exit but once Hef jumped off his hotdog it landed on me and had me pinned to the ground of the smelly hall way. Barker called for help on his walkie talkie and 10 midgets came to my rescue. When I finally got out of the hall way I looked back in amazement only to see Kalib Starnes giant vagine……wierd….I was embarassed to share that but since you had a similar dream it must be meaningful.

  • The Gunslinger says:

    i cant stop laughing that has to be one of the funniest things ive ever heard!

  • KOuch says:

    Yeah….I made it up as I went along. Sorta an inside thing to those who saw your famous “hallway” line. Others who are unfamiliar and read that are going to be insanely confused and possibly disgusted.

  • The Gunslinger says:

    ya kalib could definitly take shields………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….in a foot race

  • joel b says:

    you guys are nuts lol. but bob vs hef will be shown on a card containing other greats well past their prime mark coleman,ken shamrock and most notably tito ortiz ( the youngest fighter on the list) but all of these fighters were top notch YEARS… ago…

    anyway that would be worth the tickets i bet that would not only be a MMA event but a freaking party on top of that

  • JOHNBOY says:

    once again KOuch makes my day u r a funny guy u should get ur own tv show with midgets carrying u out on a throne to open, feel free to use that idea!

  • KOuch says:

    Johnboy,

    I am trying to get a show but my manager Slick and I are having some business differences right now. I feel the show should be called “The Super KOuch Show.” Slick feels it should be called,”The KOuch Super Show.” He is so stubborn I am not sure it will work out at all.

  • YZFOXRACING says:

    I REALLY HOPE THIS WILL BE TELIVISED…
