Josh Gross: Strikeforce Challengers' Kaufman yearns for place on big stage
The concept is simple enough. Put fighters short on experience and long on talent on television with space to breathe and grow.

Josh Gross: Mid-year superlatives for mixed martial arts
Midway through 2009, I wrote of a "year's worth of action in six months time." Flip the calendar 12 times, here we are again. The first half of 2010 was as busy and meaningful a stretch to MMA as any during its steeply inclined rise to prominence. While plenty remains to be settled as summer devolves into winter, the following fighters, fights, submissions and knockouts could all make a good case to be the year's best when it's all said and done.
