Strikeforce : Diaz vs. Cyborg

***The ol' Dixie outlaw will be pullin' for Lawler (vs. amerindian Souza) & Carson (vs. UGA DWF "dream" Walker). I'm not sure about the caste matchups on the undercard.

The Walker/ carson looks like a good one!

Would love to see Lawler KO "Jacare." Kennedy beat Souza but got screwed on the decision (just like Mayhem Miller got screwed on the cards).

Would love to see the three black (or, more accurately, black-ish) Strikeforce champions lose their belts this year. Lawler should beat Jacare, Henderson should beat Faijo and Fedor should beat Overeem (If Barnett or Werdum don't beat him to that task).

***My "half-cent" worth = Lawler needs to improve his ground game. Also, Walker was simply fed another 'mater can/C-level fighter. He'll get his @$$ handed to him by any top tier HW.

Why Stikeforce sucks. Scott Carson's opponents have a combined record of 1-6 prior to this fight with Walker, yet he gets to be on the main card. Strikeforce wants freak shows so morons who don't know sh*t about mma can enjoy it.

Exactly, I am sure a Kimbo Slice/Bob Sapp is a future headliner on a Strikeforce card. I do take Nick Diaz seriously though as he is their welterweight champion.
