The Semi-Incredible Slowly Expanding OMG FEDOR / Strikeforce Post!

Sarah Kaufman isn't the only Strikeforce fighter getting thrown back into the title mix because there's no one else in her division. Look what's happening at 170:

"That's something that we're going to go back to the office and have a conversation internally," Coker said at Saturday's post-fight press conference at the Sears Centre Arena. "But I would think that Tyron and Tarec are going to be the frontrunners for that vacant title when it does happen."

When even your smarmy group of announcer suck ups admits that Tyron Woodley is still looking pretty one dimensional, maybe it's not time to be talking title shot. Jesus cross hanging Christ, Coker!

Pictures of the event are up at MMA Fighting. They're no Esther Lin pictures, but they're decent.

More on the Overeem ditching.

Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker isn't discussing the release in detail, nor are other officials. However, Overeem had just one fight remaining on his current deal, and sources told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) discussions about his Strikeforce future weren't exactly productive in recent weeks.

Did you notice Showtime decided to pretend Overeem's Friday release didn't happen?

Tim Kennedy questions Robbie Lawler's gameplan:

TIM KENNEDY: ?Yeah! He was doing the same thing, it was just that tentative, counter, just waiting for me to come in. You know, that?s a dumb way to fight? not to Robbie, just you know it?s like? it was my fight to lose. He knew I was two rounds ahead, I knew I was two rounds ahead, so I don?t know? yeah, I thought he?d be coming forward. I was waiting for it, I was waiting to just blast my way in, but he was just tentative the whole time.?
