A welterweight bout between Nate Coy and Nate Moore, which was originally scheduled to take place at ShoMMA 13, took place at this event.[3]
Six of the preliminary card fights were streamed live on Sherdog.com.[4]
This was the last Strikeforce event to feature amateur bouts, which were removed from all future Strikeforce cards following the promotion's sale to Zuffa, LLC in March 2011.[5]
