"No more 'Challengers' for me, this [was] Portland Oregon so I was happy to do it, happy to fight for everyone here but I need to be on the Strikeforce shows with the good cards, with the quality opponents and the top guys in the sport."

A victorious Matt Lindland celebrates his victory over Kevin Casey at Strikeforce Challengers 8 in front of a hometown crowd last night (May 21) in Portland, Oregon. "The Law" is ready to return to the big stage after a quick trip to the minors following back-to-back losses to Vitor Belfort and "Jacare" Souza. But did his TKO win over Casey convince you that the 40-year-old veteran has still got the juice to hang with the sport's top competitors?
