For the second time in three fights, Pat Healy played spoiler in the Strikeforce cage, choking out Maximo Blanco at Strikeforce "Barnett vs. Kharitonov" in the second round to hand the debuting Venezuelan his first submission loss. The back and forth fight saw Blanco deliver a lot of punishment in the first round, but a few illegal blows cost him a point and evened up the frame.
In the second, Healy pressed the action, took Blanco down on three separate occasions, and with the third rolled him through with a crucifix before locking on a rear naked choke for the submission. It was Healy's third straight win, and the loss snapped Blanco's six fight win streak.
