10 Legendary MMA Fighters You've Probably Never Heard Of

MMA Injury of the Day: Mike Kyle Out of Mousasi Fight at ‘Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley’


(Yeah, now that you mention it, you never see Mike Kyle and Newark mayor Cory Booker in the same room together…)

Due to a broken hand suffered in training, Strikeforce light-heavyweight contender Mike Kyle has been forced to withdraw from his scheduled match against Gegard Mousasi at ‘Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley‘ (April 9th, San Diego). The Kyle/Mousasi match would have likely produced the next challenger to Dan Henderson‘s 205-pound title. Strikeforce is currently looking for a replacement opponent for Mousasi, who has scored wins over Jake O’Brien and Tatsuya Mizuno while competing in DREAM since losing the Strikeforce light-heavyweight title to Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal last April.

The news of Kyle’s injury withdrawal comes just a day after we learned that Jon Fitch — who trains alongside Kyle at American Kickboxing Academy — would not be making his rematch date with BJ Penn because of a shoulder injury. Speaking of which, Carlos Condit is down to step in against BJ Penn…as soon as the UFC asks him to.

Penn vs Condit or Alves would be awesome, but I see BJ submitting both.

I don't think Kyle's participation in this fight is what is making any of us looking forward to this bout. If they get any warm body 205 pounds and under and I get to watch Mousasi fight I'm still stoked. As for Penn I would love to see him b the return fight for Kos if hes healthy enough by July.

Condit/Penn TRUMPS THE SHIT out of Penn/Fitch 2: Who Gives A Flying Shit?

As for Strikeforce; he's small, but I bet Tim Kennedy would be game, even if it is at 205.

This picture is from his silva fight? He didn't have to cut weight for that. PS he did better than Fedor. Obviously Kyle > Fedor.

Anyone else notice the second face that he's sporting? Sort of looks like Total Recall...
