Good. Gives TBA more time to train.

prangley
is pretty tough. I’m not sure Kennedy won’t be on the wrong end of a wrestling clinic.
Follow me on Twitter @KidNate
Heh... not Ranger the guy
Once upon a time Kennedy would have been content to train someone else to kick poor Prangley’s ass, but now I’m not sure he trusts anyone else to do the job, as more efficient as that might be. :P obscure reference to Kennedy’s previous MOS
Lashley vs Pudzinowski
The perfect matchmaking situation – Both are overly muscled for MMA, both have thin records, both are lacking in MMA skill, and both gas out after a minute. Make it happen!

Guys
His opponent wasn’t TBA, he had an opponent named not that long ago. Come on Bloody Elbow people, you should be more on the ball. Except for Kid Nate, but he’s a heathen and a pirate (the impoverished shitty boat kind, not the awesome rum drinking kind) so he doesn’t count for anything.

looks like a scene from Red Hot Chili Peppers “Give It Away” video

"A good word that I got from the Mike Tyson Documentary... I'm going to absolutley decimate this motherf**ker, I haven't been in the dictionary to see what it actually means but I'm guessing it's going to be something in the way of just killing a motherf**ker." -Paul Daley (on the definition of Decimate)

It’s hardly surprising that injuries are starting to catch up to Lashley. They’re part of what killed his WWE career too. He’s carrying too much muscle, and his frame can’t support it. That leads to injuries. This won’t be the last time he pulls out of a fight, that’s for sure.

Interesting
This is one of the only situations I can think of where an injury has led to a better fight ending up on the card.
Lashley’s stock is so down right now. I feel that many MMA fans are starting to see him as someone who ducks fights against better competition and just fights cans, and he hasn’t proven otherwise. I have to wonder about his fanbase from professional wrestling and whether they really care to see him fight or not.
Kennedy vs Prangley is a good fight, and I am glad that it has replaced this fight. It is also good that someone from the Challengers Series is fighting on the bigger Strikeforce cards. Maybe there is hope that Rockhold, Woodley, Saffeidine, etc. will fight on the bigger Strikeforce cards and not just the Challengers Series.
Ok Strikeforce, you can put the KJ Noons fight back in LA now.
Those of us who bought tickets are getting pissed.
