    Go Joe!!

    Joe is going to get eaten alive. Why the fuck is Team Quest agreeing to put him up against Kid, already?

    Yeah, with one pro fight, Warren is certainly up against tough odds in that one. I guess it is one of those fights where he's not expected to win, and he'll make some money. But if he wins he gets huge publicity out of it.

    Not as bad as Sokoudjou (Team Quest) vs. Gegard Mousasi. That is a career killing bout.

    Alistair Overeem will defend his Strikeforce HW strap in June. Wouldn't be outrageous to think that if Brett Rogers wins tonight, he'll be the top contender.

    Seems 50/50 that it will be Rogers or Werdum, now.

    Hopefully Overeem will face Werdum because Rodgers isn't ready. I was extremely unimpressed with his fight the other night.

    Yeah, seemed he wasn't used to fighting someone with a chin.

    Still, an Overeem/Werdum fight is a hard one to sell to a casual fan.

    Babalu will not fight Rafael Feijao because his wife is expecting another baby, at least not at Strikeforce's next event.

    Strikeforce offered Kevin Randleman the spot vacated by Babalu against Rafael Fejiao, but Randleman (who signed with Strikeforce emphatically saying he'd fight anyone, anywhere) turned it down. Jared Hamman (10-1) will take the fight instead.

    Talked to Joe Warren today. He's excited for his fight against Kid. I don't think he liked the fact that I said it seems like a major challenge for someone in their 2nd career fight.

    Well if he wins, he shocks the world, if he loses, nobody thinks any differently of him. Not the worst situation to be in. Either way he's coming out of that fight with some invaluable experience; hopefully without injury.
