    Re: Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum (Jun. 18th)

    Gus Johnson's contract with CBS has reportedly run out, meaning he might be done as a commentator for Strikeforce.

    Sometimes these things happen in television.

    Shane del Rosario has withdrawn from the event after being injured in a car accident. No further details available at this time.

    Jorge Masvidal vs. KJ Noons likely to be added to the card. No opponent yet for Scott Smith--unknown whether he will compete on the card.

    Re: Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum (Jun. 18th)

    It is official--Johnson is done with CBS/Showtime and may be headed to FOX.

    However he might still do this event; details are cloudy.

    Strikeforce may look to bring in a new 'straight' play-by-play caller.

    I was always partial to Bob Sheridan.

    Re: Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum (Jun. 18th)

    Nevermind. Johnson's deal to call Strikeforce was separate from his basketball/football deal with CBS. He's still expected to shout hyperbole at us on Showtime.

    Re: Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum (Jun. 18th)

    This weekend, kids.

    Will Werdum's chin hold up long enough for him to get Reem down?

    Will Reem get revenge for a 2006 submission loss to Werdum?

    How quickly will Josh Barnett dispense with Brett Rogers?

    Will Gus Johnson come out of the closet?

    Find out on Saturday!

    I'm sure they can find someone else to scream and shout giddy nonsense.

    Prelims were good. Wilcox/Calvan stopped because of an accidental eye poke, unfortunately.

    I'm starting to feel like Kharitonov is a serious contender to win this thing...
