Of all the fights at this weekend's Strikeforce card, I think I'm most excited about the Jason Miller/Jake Shields fight. First off, it's between two fighters who have a relatively-compared to the the last SF 185 title holder-continuous habit of fighting regularly. Second, it'll help legitimize SF by adding a potentially solid title holder to their ranks. Third... well:



If I don't see something like this on Saturday night, I'll assume Mayhem isn't in it to win it. C'mon Mayhem! Seriously though, I'm looking at Mayhem to win this. He's got the tools, and I don't think he's reached his peak yet. Getting some more top level competition is going to go a long way for him. We're also talking a huge professional step up for him, and SF could use a charismatic fighter to bring in the butts. Sorry Fedor... the stare and smirk don't cut it.

Quick picks for this weekend:
Fedor over Rogers via TKO 2nd rd.
Miller over Shields via SD 2nd rd.
Mousasi over Soku via mass destruction 2nd rd.
Werdum over Bigfoot via throat crushing RNC 2nd rd.

I also want to throw out that I'm pumped for Coenen vs. Modaferri. I tweeted my love for Roxy earlier this week, and I'm psyched to get to see Marloes fight live-or on tape delay- instead of on youtube. I'm hoping this is one of those fights that can define the division. Because right now the division is Cyborg and Carano. Throw some tough fights in there (which this is shaping up to be) and people will take notice. I'll take Roxy because... well because she loves video games! Either way, both girls can bang. Can't wait!
