June 19, 2009 Card
The second ShoMMA event took place on June 19, 2009 at the ShoWare Center in Kent, Washington. The event was sanctioned by the Washington State Athletic Commission which, as opposed to other athletic commissions, didn't use one-pound allowances during the weigh-ins. In response, Strikeforce made contracts which automatically defaulted into Catchweights to allow fighters the extra pound.
