Maybe theyl’ll have that long awaited Jacare vs Mayhem fight? As far as Britt vs Feijao goes, it is a good fight, BUT, it is counterproductive considering how weak Strikeforce’s Light Heavyweight Division is. These two are also prospects, and seeing two prospects fighting each other so soon in a very weak division is not a great idea as far as building two prospects up. On the other hand, there aren’t too many options for Strikeforce outside of signing more Light Heavyweights (Personally, I thought that Strikeforce should sign Tim Boetsch).

I think they are trying to build up their next contender with the few credible LHW they have. My guess is that the winner of this gets something along the lines of Babalu vs Mike Kyle winner to crown the next contender after Hendo gets his shot. After that? Either the loser of the King Mo/Mousasi fight gets a another shot or they better sign some new guys.
