Strikeforce Nashville Ready to Save the Day after UFC Disaster Last Week

Only one week after what could have been the worst event in the history of MMA (UFC 112), everyone should be really excited about a competitive top notch Strikeforce card that has 3 titles up for grabs. Dan Henderson makes his Strikeforce debut when he takes on middleweight champion Jake Shields in what should be an interesting fun to watch fight. In an even more interesting exciting fight, top prospect King Muhammed Lawal takes on champion Gegard Mousasi for the light heavyweight crown. These two could well be the future, if not the present, in the light heavyweight division. Expect a competitive fight despite Lawal's inexperience. The final fight may be the best of the three when Japanese superstar and lightweight king Shinya Aoki takes on Gilbert Melendez. Melendez is the Strikeforce lightweight champion while Aoki is the Dream lightweight champion. Aoki is one of the most exciting to grapplers in MMA today. I can't say enough about the quality of this card. You will not see sh*t judging like you did with Frankie Edgar winning the lightweight title after running for 5 rounds and boring us to death. You will not see Anderson Silva being forced to fight a one tool fighter that practically was so easy it almost put him to sleep half way through the fight (not to mention put the fans to sleep).

Make no mistake - this will be a competitive exciting card and better than anything we have seen in the last several years. Not to mention it combines top talent in two top notch promotions which is absolutely wicked and it is free on television. This one is a must watch no brainer for all MMA fans and beyond :)
