Lashley turned heads at MFC.
Sunday, 5:00 a.m. ET: With MMA datelines from six cities, it was quite a weekend here at Sherdog.com. Let’s take a look around the globe, shall we?

Bellator 7 (Chicago): Former UFC middleweight champion Dave Menne was stopped by upstart Omar de la Cruz.

KSW 11 (Warsaw): Pride veteran Daniel Acacio was mauled by prospect Mamed Khalidov in 70 seconds. Extra points to any reader that remembers which Carlson Gracie protégé labeled Acacio the greatest fighter in Brazil many years ago.

Strikeforce Challengers (Fresno): Billy Evangelista gave one away to Mike Aina, while Sarah Kaufman slugged her way to 9-0 record with a gutsy win over Miesha Tate.

MFC 21 (Enoch): Bobby Lashley stayed undefeated with a quick win over Mike Cook.

Jewels 3 (Tokyo): Yuko Yamanaka outpointed Josh Barnett understudy Shannon Hooper.

Call To Arms (Ontario): Vladimir Matyushenko had his way with Jason Lambert in the main event. Also on the card, Daniel Puder, Tiki Ghosn and Brett Cooper picked up wins.
