Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine - January 7, 2012

[Pappy Knuckles]

Luke Rockhold vs. Keith Jardine (Middleweight Championship)
Robbie Lawler vs. Adlan Amagov
Mo Lawal vs. Lorenz Larkin
Tyron Woodley vs. Jordan Mein
Tarec Saffiedine vs. Tyler Stinson

You know an organization is hurting when Keith Jardine is in the main event lmao. I guess drawing with Mousasi lined him up for a title shot? Luke Rockhold impressed me last time out so I'm anxious to see is he can duplicate his performance against the vet.

Robbie Lawler is still one of my favorite guys to watch fight despite him not stringing together wins in a long time. This Amagov dude has a pretty good record, so hopefully we get a decent fight.

Lorenz Larkin is a lot of fun to watch and Tyron Woodley is another solid prospect. Both of their matches are intriguing to me. I think this card is going to be better than the last one we saw.

It's his first fight at Middleweight (unless I'm mistaken) and he is getting a title shot. It's very bad for the division in SF.

It will be available for free as part of Showtime free preview weekend.

Yeah, you're right. I just couldn't figure out exactly why Jardine was chosen of all people. I know their middleweight division isn't exactly stacked, but it seems like they could've chosen an opponent that was already in that weight class. Kenny Florian and Urijah were given quick title shots when they changed divisions, but they still had to beat somebody first.

Jardine is cool, but damn if he doesn't have one of the ugliest fighting styles ever.

Lol @ all of the fight discussion. I was kind of bored during the Woodley fight, but the King Mo and Lawler finishes picked things up a bit. Hopefully Rockhold vs. Jardine is a good one.

Time to left hook that puts Jardine out?

[TheShizNo1]

Much better card than last time. Strikeforce secretly puts on good cards.

Jardine needs to just hang it up. He drops to down and gets a title shot because of his name, which hasn't really meant anything for years. The guy may be able to take some shots and give some shots, but he can't beat anyone with talent any more.
