Strike Force took place on Saturday evening, September 21, 2008 at the Playboy Mansion in Beverly Hills, California. Special thanks to Sherdog for streaming it for free. Josh “The Punk” Thompson made quick work of Ashe Bowman hitting him with a hard right hand and then finishing him off. In the main event, there was some controversy. Joe Riggs knocked down Kazuo Misaki, who then retaliated with a punch of his own knocking Riggs down. He quickly pounced on Riggs, who covered up. It did not appear that any of the punches were landing and appeared that Riggs was intelligently defending himself, but the referee stepped in and called it. Always unfortunate to see things get stopped too soon.
