    SF wants to put together Bautista vs. Lashley but probably not until the card after this one.

    Herschel Walker's opponent is Scott Carson (4-1).

    Carson has struck out against 'keyboard warriors' who think he was hand-picked to lose to Herschel Walker, saying he's in shape ("ripped") and ready to take advantage of the opportunity.

    In related news he's 40 and hasn't won a fight since 2001. So yeah...

    I am not a Strikeforce fan, and have been kind of critical of some of their decision making in the front office. That said, it's hard to disagree with Strikeforce match making, they seem to put on some pretty exciting shows. This one appears to be another that can end up being a barn burner.

    I'm especially liking the Daley/Smith slug-fest that is sure to take place. Both guys will look to stand and bring it, and it should turn out to be an exciting fight. Smith only knows how to attack, and Daley only knows how to stand and trade. I'm taking Daley to win this one. I like his style of fighting, he reminds me of the MMA version of Miguel Cotto, where even though he stands right handed mostly his left hook is his game changer. I'm expecting him to land that left late in round one or early round two and rock Smith hard enough to end the fight.

    Babalu and Henderson should end up being a solid fight also. Henderson being one of my favorite fighters, I'm gonna be biased and take him. Babalu has never been a very powerful striker, but his jiujitsu can be dangerous if it it hits the ground. I don't see Babalu being able to get Henderson to the floor, he's not near the wrestler that Jake Shields is. Henderson will keep this fight standing, and his power will really be the difference maker once it lands on Babablu's face. This will probably be the hardest hitter he has fought since probably Chuck Liddell. Not saying that Lawler and Mousasi don't have power, but not to the extent that Hendo has.

    Like the WEC card, I will come back and visit this later, but just my take on the two main fights for right now.

    Benji Radach vs. Lucas Lopes replaces the Herschel Walker vs. Scott Carson bout.

    Natrually Strikeforce won't bring in a replacement for the hand-picked Carson. Walker can only fight a very specific bum.

    Card updated. Roger Gracie vs. Mike Kyle pushed back to the late January show.

    Valentijn Overeem out, dunno if they can find a replacement to fight Antonio Silva. Perhaps Scott Carson?

    Dirty fighter Mike Kyle is jumping in to face Bigfoot.

    Switcheroo time. Benji Radach will instead fight Ovince St. Preux at light heavyweight.

    I want Strikeforce or another good promotion like them to stick around but what a year they have had, one problem after another...

    Daley vs. Smith should be a banger for the four or so minutes it lasts, though.

    So... I take it everyone will be watching this instead of the TUF Finale, right? Right?
