    This is why I seem angry

    Stuff like this just drives me crazy

    This is on ESPN via Sherdog, there is a bunch on stuff, but some of the 'highlights'

    on king Mo

    The best 205-pound fighter not currently tied to the UFC is undoubtedly Muhammed Lawal, a former Division II wrestler who has earned three solid wins out of a seven-fight career and has the potential to claim many more
    So King Mo is just a division II wrestler? No mention of his post college career where he was regarded as the best wrestler in the US, no mention of pan ams gold, etc...?

    Here is even a worse one about Cormier

    Cormier is an NCAA Division I runner-up in wrestling, a sport that can often come down to a game of inches.
    lol, so Cormier is just a Division I runner up, nice, the guy is a 2 time Olmypian, you think you could mention that? WTF is this shit

    Thats like me talking about Kos and Brock and saying 'Well, Kos was a top rated high school wrestler' and never mentioning that they competed in College

      lol, seriously?

      You have a 2 time Olympian and all you mention about him is he was a Division I runner up?

      You talk about the guys best, you say he is a 2 time Olympian, etc..

      King Mo is just a DII champ? You dont mention his sucess on the international level?

      Does anyone mention Randy Couture's college record? They always say Olympic alternate, etc...

          But there are a lot more fuck ups regarding fighter profiles when they aren't ZUFFA-related.

          It is incredibly annoying.

                You know, I can't even call this one sloppy journalism. How can you blame the media for focusing on specific areas of a fighters bio when Strikeforce themselves do the same thing.

                From Strikeforce.com's fighter profiles...

                The undefeated Lawal, of Murfreesboro, Tenn., is a two-time NCAA Division I All-American and Big 12 wrestling champion for Oklahoma State University. He won the STRIKEFORCE title with a unanimous five-round decision over defending belt-holder Gegard Mousasi last April 17 on the CBS Television Network.

                Prior to the convincing victory over the highly regarded Mousasi, the colorful, charismatic 30-year-old, 6-foot Lawal won his STRIKEFORCE debut via first-round knockout of “Iron” Mike Whitehead on Dec. 19, 2009, at STRIKEFORCE: Evolution in San Jose.

                Lawal will make the first defense of his belt against devastating striker Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante (9-2) in the main event on Saturday, Aug. 21 in Houston, TX.
                A former NCAA Division I national championship runner up at Oklahoma State University, Cormier has won three of his four fights via knockout. Cormier won his initial MMA and STRIKEFORCE start with a second-round TKO (punches) over Gary Frazier on Sept. 25 in Tulsa, Okla. He dominated John Devine in his second fight with a first-round knockout at a STRIKEFORCE: Challengers event on March 26 in Fresno, Calif., and followed that up with a first-round TKO of Lucas Browne on July 31. He is fresh off a 2:27, first-round submission (rear-naked choke) over Tony Johnson, Jr., on Aug. 13

                A heavyweight prospect who trains at the American Kickboxing Academy in San Jose., Cormier placed fourth in the 2004 Olympics in freestyle wrestling. He was named captain of the U.S. squad for the 2008 Olympics, but was unable to compete due to injury.
                If a journalist is going to make the mistake of using Strikeforce's own info on their fighters, who is to blame here?
