WAR JACARE!!

Strikeforce is only getting better it looks like. I think the Cain Carwin match for interm woulda been a better idea. Everyone is interested in these 2.

i don't mind the idea of an interim belt in this case, but there should at least be a 4-man "tournament" IMO for the belt or call it "Number 1 Contender" (like in pro wrestling )

I'm stoked for the Strikeforce show because Cung Le is back,he'd be a big star if he was in UFC.

Thats the truth! I want to see how he does with the ring rust I'm sure its gonna be a different fight but no doubt in him putting on a good show with an win to top it.
