Haha he gets a title shot coming off a draw, but Tim Kennedy doesn't get it off beating the former #1 contender?

***! Kennedy should have gotten the title shot. Maybe he's coming to the UFC

Most the top talent in SF is heading to the UFC right now. There really aren't many opponents for him especially if Kennedy is injured or UFC bound. This fight is really just to keep Rockhold busy.

I'm sorry but the SF belt won't even mean anything if they go through with this

Their MW division is so weak. This is kind of a joke if this actually happens.

I don't think the fight is that bad.  I mean, assuming Kennedy is going to the UFC, who else is there really?  It's not like they can put Robbie Lawler in there coming off 2 losses. 

At least Jardine technically didn't lose his last fight, and he won a couple before that.  On top of that, he's a long time veteran, with a big name.  He gave Gegard a pretty hard time, and most people consider Gegard a top level guy. 

Jardine may not be a top ranked middleweight, but I still consider a win over him to be a respectable feather in anyone's cap.

Paul Daley is a good idea.  Daley can barely make 170 half the time anyway.

Well if its true kennedy is heading to the ufc, then id rather see a rematch with jacare rather then seeing a guy coming off a draw who has never even fought in that division before getting a title shot.

This is a complete joke and really makes no sense at all. If Kennedy is hurt then give a rematch to Jacare if he isn't ready give it to Brunson or bring someone else in that makes sense.

But giving it to Jardine after coming off a draw in another division is stupid on a whole other level.

I'm pulling for Jardine.

Go ahead, try and take Strikeforce seriously, I'm just take in the car crash booking.

It shouldn't be that surprising.  IF Strikeforce stays open, it will be a minor's to major's league.

That's a joke, Jardine lost against Mousasi. It was deemed a draw because Mousasi used his trademark illegal upkick, but he beat Jardine. Tim Kennedy's going to the UFC I believe, so why no love for Gegard? Does the UFC hate him or somethin?

It's matchmaking like this is why Scott Coker's organizations fail. Keith Jardine fighting for a title, especially in SF tells me that we will soon see the end of Strikeforce. Of course we all knew that this was going to happen when ZUFFA bought SF, but now we can see the end is very near.
