UFC on FX 2, Strikeforce picks: Flyweight favorites are huge and Tate?s an underdog

MMA fans will be inundated with great fights this weekend and the show stealer could be a fight between two females.

The final note on the two big cards is the Miesha Tate-Ronda Rousey fight tomorrow night in Columbus, Oh. Or should it be called the Ronda Rousey fight? When was the last time a champion was such a huge underdog like Tate?

Rousey, a former Olympian in Judo, is getting a title shot after just four pro mixed martial arts bouts. The 24-year-old fighter has also never fought down at 135 pounds. With all that, amazingly she's a minus-300 favorite to take the Strikeforce title from Tate.

Kevin Iole, Frank Trigg and myself broke down the UFC and Strikeforce fights on "The MMA Insiders" show in Las Vegas.

UFC on FX 2 betting odds:

Thiago Alves (-120) vs. Martin Kampmann (+100)
Joseph Benavidez (-850) vs. Yasuhiro Urushitani (+575)
Demetrious Johnson (-290) vs. Ian McCall (+245)
James Te Huna (-320) vs. Aaron Rosa (+260)
Anthony Waldburger (-140) vs. Jake Hecht (+120)
Kyle Noke (-270) vs. Andrew Craig (+230)
Court McGee (-130) vs. Constantinos Philippou (+110)
Anthony Perosh (+130) vs. Nick Penner (-150)
Mackens Semerzier (-155) vs. Daniel Pineda (+135)
Cole Miller (-485) vs. Steven Siler (+385)

WSJ: Target, Walmart, other retailers teaming up to take on Google Wallet

Google's certainly not alone in its vision of a future in which the smartphone makes credit cards go the way of the Palm Pilot. The software giant may have gotten a bit of a head start on some of the others, but it's already got some stiff competition in the form of the carrier-led Isis and a slew of new initiatives unveiled at MWC. According The Wall Street Journal, the field may soon be getting even more stiff competition. Walmart and Target have reportedly joined two dozen or so fellow retailers to develop a mobile payment system to call their own. While most of the participants have yet to be named, the list includes a pretty broad spectrum of companies, including fast food joints, big box retailers and drug stores. Google, for one, welcomes such competition, telling the paper, "We think it's great that there are other companies innovating in the payments space. This will create more choice for consumers, and in the end we believe choice is a good thing." No word on when exactly the initiative is set to launch.

Watch Georges St. Pierre get beaten by Japanese children in the cutest video ever produced

UFC welterweight champ Georges St. Pierre headed to Japan for UFC 144. He visited a school for young kids and was promptly beaten by children wielding swords.

Seriously, watch the first two and a half minutes of this video. Your day will improve. Watch as GSP beams while the children warm up, then see him not keep up as they run through exercises with plastic swords. Finally, see how they suddenly turn on him and beat GSP over the head until he submits to strikes.

After he talks about how he would have rather played with swords as a kid than with a hockey stick, they show a visit to the mayor of Saitama, Japan, and a visit to a dojo where kids aged around seven beat each other up. But if you can't watch the whole six minutes, at least press play for the first two and half.
