That’s what I was thinking too. Could obviously live without the Herschel fight, but it is what it is, and the rest of the card has lots of fun match-ups.

Moment Roger gets a hold of Mike it’s all over.
Got the Summer hatin on me cus I'm hotter than the sun. Got the Spring hatin on me cus I ain't never sprung. Winter hatin on me cus I'm colder than ya'll; and I will never I will never I will never Fall.
The mat is my church, the ground is my heaven, Jiu-Jitsu is my religion. And once you hit the ground you're in my world. My world is like the ocean, I’m like a shark and most people don't even know how to swim - Draculino
That's what people said about Randleman
And it didn’t turn out like that.

Randleman is a highly accomplished wrestler, people should have amended their statements in that fight to read: “Two moments after Roger gets a hold of Randleman it’s all over”… and it was… still.

Even so
It looked like he was gonna pop Randleman’s head off with that RNC. Shit was ridiculous.

Was hoping Feijao could avenge his loss but I suppose this fight will do.

Why in the fuck is Mike Kyle going back to heavyweight?
Roger will destroy him.
I’m pretty sure this will be a LHW fight, that’s where Roger fought last.

Randleman hit 205?
Weird, I could have sworn that fight was at HW.
"Roger Gracie Tapped"
The only time you’re going to see that phrase and Mike Kyle in the same sentence.

Tough fight for Roger here
But he may as well hit the fast track. Really looking forward to this one. He gets Kyle on the mat and he’s waking up at the after party.

Not saying I don't look forward to this,
Not saying I don’t look forward to this, but it seems like a match which really should not have been made… Yet at least.
Kyle has 25 fights against Gracie’s 3 with only one of those being in the last two years. Are we really supposed to just forgive the records because Gracie is a world class BJJ tournament competitor? Apparently so…
Sonnen had 33 fights vs Maia who had ten fights at the time.
Horn had 111 fights vs Baker’s 16 fights.
What does number of fights have to do with anything?

will be there live for this event, not a bad drive from kc. I look forward to this matchup but just hope they add at least one maincard heavyweight fight, hopefully featuring bigfoot silva. Looks like a good card.

Whoa lol
wasn’t expecting this

I’ll believe Roger Gracie is actually fighting for Strikeforce when the cage door closes, with him inside the cage.
What's so hard to believe?
He’s done it before.
"With gold thou boughtest Gýmir's daughter,
and so gavest away thy sword:
but when Muspell's sons through the dark forest ride,
thou, unhappy, wilt not have wherewith to fight."

With all these good fights
Some are going to have to be prelims.

To me, it is always a privilege to watch Roger Gracie fight in MMA. I honestly do find it something of a novelty because Roger just does not fight in MMA very much, and he is actually getting a very solid-but-not-spectacular fighter in Mike Kyle. This is actually a very good fight in my opinion for both fighters.
