Sad news for Orange County mixed martial arts fans.
This weekend, Strikeforce star Benji “Razor” Radach of Laguna Beach lost to former University of Tennessee linebacker Ovince St. Preux in a unanimous decision by judges.
Strikeforce officials and others in attendance at the St. Louis bout didn't sugarcoat the results.

They said a much smaller 31-year-old Radach, who has suffered numerous serious
injuries during his career, had been “dominated” and “manhandled” by the
6-foot-3, 205-pound St. Preux.
“I got a lot of clean shots,” St. Pruex said in a videotaped interview. “I'm definitely feeling good.”
Before the match, the 5-foot-10 Radach foreshadowed trouble.
“I've got my hands full,” he said. “[St. Preux] is a big, tall guy.”
