On this week's episode of "Inside the Hexagon," Phil and Josh discuss what may have been the worst event in Strikeforce history, which happened on September 29, 2007 at the venerable Playboy Mansion in Beverly Hills, California. Featuring some big names like Gilbert Melendez, Josh Thomson, Joe Riggs, and Jorge Masvidal, one would expect the card to feature fireworks. But, while some of the action was great, several mismatches marred the card, as did the commentary. Fighters on drugs and steroids, commentators going into business for themselves, Hugh Hefner, Playboy Playmates as ring girls...this event was a smorgasbord of questionable decisions. Don't miss this episode as we delve into it all!
