Mike Kyle: I'm fighting Gegard Mousasi at Strikeforce event on March 3

According to "MAK's" official Twitter account, he's been paired off with "The Dreamcatcher" for the Strikeforce: "Tate vs. Rousey" Showtime-televised event on March 3, 2012, from the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.
it's on march 3 Ohio baby. Mak Kyle and mossasi beast mode gerrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
Strikeforce has yet to confirm the potential match-up.
With Muhammed Lawal on the shelf following a positive test for steroids, every light heavyweight fight under the Strikeforce banner can now be considered a title eliminator.
That's because the promotion's 205-pound roster is as thin as it has ever been, especially now that Dan Henderson abandoned ship for the shores of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) late last year.
In addition, Lorenz Larkin's stock has dropped following his loss to "King Mo" (which may be reversed to a "no contest" pending Lawal's appeal) and Ovince St. Preux was recently defeated by Mousasi.
Could one of these two men become the next Strikeforce light heavyweight champion? Or will Raphael Cavalcante have something to say about that?
The Showtime-televised event will feature newly-minted women's champion Miesha Tate putting her 135-pound title on the line against undefeated Judo specialist Ronda Rousey.
Other match-ups booked for "The Discovery City" include K.J. Noons vs. Josh Thomson, former women's champion Sarah Kaufman vs. Alexis Davis and Paul Daley vs. Kazuo Misaki.

nice match up
Lets see if Gegard actually trains for this one
Kyle is a beast.
I am willing to test myself against the toughest fighters in the world, in front of hundreds of thousands or even millions of fans, over and over again. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, but I always come to fight. I've been doing this for the past fourteen years, and I have at least a few more strong years left in me. What have you done in the past fourteen years other than act like a moron on this forum and hang on Anderson's nuts? - Dan Henderson.
Regarding King Mo
on the mma hour this afternoon he admitted he just took something on the word of someone he knew and didn’t read what was in supplement he took something called S-Mass ??
Its now been made illegal

Nah
he took a supplement which he thought was fine to take but didn’t read what was in it, and just went on the word of someone he knew, so he didn’t intentionally take Steroids or whatever it was, but it was one of the ingredients in what he took.

i for the first time ever agree with edsoares, everyone says that, i doubt anyone is going to admit to using, they all just blame it on supplements sounds like complete bs

The one guy who admitted to doing something illegal was punished to the max lmao.
Shows how morally bankrupt the people in power in this country really are.

Insulting staff and using the word "***" are both completely inappropriate. So long.

Great matchup!
I like Mousasi but I get the feeling he has been coasting om his last few fights. I got Kyle in this. 2nd round TKO. As another poster mentioned, I hope Mousasi trains and takes him serious.
Minowaman forever
You mean, you hope Kyle trains and takes Sasi serious
If you can make out what Dana White says in this interview, you are a better man than me! Start at 8:05...Uncle Dana slurs something at around 8:11 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX4UNVVN3Jk#t=2m32s
But Cain isn't any better at speaking...listen to him to try to answer Ariel Helwani...he starts at 1:20 to 1:32...then when you think it couldn't get worse, it does at about 1:40 to 1:53
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66jBXwTFRlI
Mousasi will come up with some other excuse again to pull out of the fight.
Third time won’t be the charm for Kyle.
If Kyle mixes things aup and makes the fight dirty he can beat Sasi
But if he just tries to exchange he’s going to that ass wet up!

Good fight
Kyle is a big LHW…this is where he should be fighting…too many losses at HW…
Still gotta go with my boy Sasi though.

He almost finished Big Foot, history could've been much different. Looking forward to this one.

I’m going out on a limb here and even though gegard is good I’m going to say Kyle by early ko

Haha - That's more than going out on a limb
I give that a 5% chance of happening.

I know but is want to give myself a reason for watching that fight

you mean gegard unrockable mousasi. You mean granite chinned gegard. You mean iron jaw mousasi. We are talking about the same dude right?
by steady2wheels on Jan 23, 2012 4:11 PM EST up reply actions
So I guess, Larkin vs Gracie?

I would have a preferred Gracie and Mousassi
The 205 seems a little thin with King MO out and Hendo back in the UFC.
ill be at this event watching gegard kick this dude to oblivian

King Mo is an idiot, he could've been fighting for a championship, instead he will be falling into obscurity

thats why ufc needs to send rich franklin,brandon vera,luiz cain,jason brilz to strikeforce .. and shake things up a bit .. i dont know maybe the new rule could be lose 3 fights in a row you get sent to strikeforce … or cut … and in turn when 3 in a row get a pre lim fight in ufc … just my two cetns ..
I like the idea
I even like the idea of most (if not all) new prospects coming up through Strikeforce and “graduating” to the UFC after some success. But, I don’t think the Zuffa/Showtime deal is designed for Strikeforce to a be a lower level org, where UFC failures land over there.

oh yay..
another handpicked, mediocre fighter for Gregard to unimpressively take care of… Can’t wait to hear about how amazing he is after this one, luckily everyone will be talking about how amazing Gregard is before.
