Strikeforce 27 is coming up tomorrow, also known as Strikeforce Houston: King Mo vs. Feijao, and it brings us 2 championship fights. See, fledgling organizations need to put on really big shows to be a draw because the mainstream fans just don’t recognize many of their fighters like they do with the UFC. However, Strikeforce is the only real competition to the UFC, so they have to do their best to grab whatever talent happens to be available.
Regardless, anytime you get to see 2 championship fights, it’s a good card. Here’s what we’ve got:
Main Card
- Light Heavyweight Championship bout:
Muhammed Lawal (c) vs.
Rafael Cavalcante
- Middleweight Championship bout:
Ronaldo Souza vs.
Tim Kennedy
- Lightweight bout:
KJ Noons vs.
Jorge Gurgel
- Heavyweight bout:
Bobby Lashley vs.
Chad Griggs
For the picks, I’m going to go with the undefeated Lawal to retain his belt in the Light Heavyweight Championship. The Middleweight Championship is actually a fight for the vacant Middleweight belt, which was vacated by Jake Shields when he left Strikeforce to join the UFC, I’ll take Souza in that fight. As for the last two, they aren’t flashy, but they could be interesting; I’ll take Noons over Gurgel and the former WWE wrestler Lashley over Griggs.
