Today on "MMA Nation" we'll be joined by Strikeforce light heavyweight and middleweight contender Tim Kennedy. We'll talk to Kennedy about locking horns with Nick "The Goat" Thompson at ShoMMA next weekend, how much active duty service has affected his ability to compete and the future of the Army Combatives program.

We'll also talk about Uirjah Faber's broken hand, the announced Gina Carano vs. Cris Cyborg bout for Strikeforce on August 15th and the farrago of failures that is Tim Sylvia vs. Ray Mercer. And we'll throw in a little UFC 99 talk for good measure.
