I think Gabber is right. It’s Lindland. All bet’s are off on if the fight will take place given the two promotion’s past history together. I’d like to see it though.

Ummm Vitor, broken hand? Lindland without an opponent for October 11?

I don’t see Lindland as a top 5 MW. But some people can spin it that way for sure.

Plus, MMANews.com is claiming that Strikeforce VP Mike Afromowitz has stated that rumor is “false.” [...]

I concur; frank trigg is not a top 5 or even top 10.

Might they be referencing Cung Le? Not top 5, of course, but you don’t hype up a fight buy saying top 16 or something, ya know?

No joke, rolltide! When was the last time Trigg was considered top 5?

Is he fighting Elitexc’s definition of a top 5 middleweight or the rest of the world’s?

WOW! So, Shields is serious about moving to MW.

So, who would air this event?
