Continuing in Zuffa’s new social media trend of announcing newly-signed bouts before the MMA media gets wind of them, Strikeforce announced today via Twitter that a middleweight bout between Tim Kennedy and Robbie Lawler has been added to its July 30 Fedor vs. Henderson card in Chicago.
The bout should be a good one between the pair, who coincidentally both lost to Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza and beat Melvin Manhoef in the past year and a half. Kennedy lost a unanimous decision to Souza in August at Strikeforce: Houston and beat Manhoef at Strikeforce: Feijao vs. Henderson in March by way of first-round rear naked choke. Lawler lost to Jacare by third-round rear naked choke at Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Cyborg in January and knocked out Manhoef at Strikeforce: Miami in January of last year.
The promotion did not clarify if the fight would be on the main televised portion of the card that will be headlined by a heavyweight bout between Former PRIDE champions Fedor Emelianenko and Dan Henderson, but it’s likely considering both fighters have not seen prelim action in some time.

commentsNice pro-wrestling reference.
And what the fuck makes this a "supercard," version your average dogshit Strikeforce card? Apparently Scott Coker et al. have yet to realize that Fedor having lost two in a row, and the fact that no titles are on the line, severely diminishes the appeal of their main event, at least for many.
Hello. My friend

Dedi cated service, the new style, believing you will love it!!!
WE ACCEPT PYA PAL PAY MENT
YOU MUST NOT MISS IT!!!
thank you!!!
this is going to be a fucking assassination.
Lawler 2-3 of last five fights win over manhoef and lindland (of no real significance)
loss shieldzzzzzzzz, babalu, and souza.
kennedy going to fucking murder him..
on the upside, great fight for lawler to try to regain some status of relevance, Bad for kennedy if he loses to someone not even close to top ten (least in my book)
after this loss i see lawler getting canned
Fuck Mr. Kennedy :D
