Wow. TBA really has his work cut out for him! It's career, and likely, physical suicide.

The event takes place Friday, June 19, at the ShoWare Center in Kent, Wash., and airs on Showtime. In addition to a co-main event of Tim Kennedy (9-2) vs. Nick Thompson (38-10-1), the card features Strikeforce newcomer Jorge Gurgel, veteran Dennis Hallman and a women's bout between Shayna Baszler (9-5) and Sarah Kaufman (9-0). Strikeforce Challengers, initially called "SHO MMA" before a recent name change, was designed to showcase top prospects. However, as Strikeforce shuffles around its current roster after an influx of talent acquired from ProElite, some notables names will appear on the initial Challengers cards. In fact, the night's main event will have an impact on Strikeforce's middleweight title picture. Strikeforce executive Mike Afromowitz recently told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) the organization will, in fact, issue an interim title while current champ Cung Le chases his Hollywood dreams. In addition to Jake Shields and Joe Riggs, who both won their respective bouts at this past weekend's event in St. Louis, the winner of the Villasenor vs. Santos bout will also be in contention. "The winner of that fight will certainly factor into our plans," Afromowitz said. "It's an important fight." |
