Matt Lindland vs. Kevin Casey likely to headline the next Strikeforce: Challengers Series event in Portland. If you haven't heard the Kevin Casey story, here it is in a nutshell: - Casey is a brown belt under Rickson Gracie; - one day Casey showed up to the school wearing a black belt (he had promoted himself); - Casey had also rewarded a belt to his agent, Spencer Pratt (yes, that Spencer Pratt); - Kron Gracie (BB at Rickson's school) thrashed him for it and then kicked him out of the school; - Casey still bills himself as a black belt as does Pratt; - This happened....

This guy is the biggest dork in the world, seriously, if you hang out with Spencer Pratt and dance in sequence on the beach, you're a big dork.
Strikeforce reportedly planning a show in Australia (what a novel idea!) with Geronimo "Mondragon" Dos Santos vs. Josh Barnett as a headliner. Do they have drug testing in Australia?
This was supposedly a miscommunication between Mondragon and a reporter. The fight will be for Impact MMA and a win for him could mean a Strikeforce contract.
Los Angeles resident Karo Parisyan expected to compete at Strikeforce: LA, supposing he can get his shit together.
Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos will meet Marius Zaromskis @ Strikeforce: LA. Dunno if it will be catchweight or what. Zaromskis' Dream title is not on the line.
The can Strikeforce has lined up to fight Bobby Lashley is Ron "The Monster" Sparks. He has an undefeated record, at least.
Finally got to talk to Heath about Hendo's performance. The rumors about Hendo's back being all fucked up were true. He couldn't train the last couple of weeks and had to cut 10 lbs two days before fight. Not sure When he's going to fight again. Wants to stay at 205 .
