|  Southworth vs. White for Vacant Strikeforce Title
http://www.sherdog.com/news/news.asp?n_id=6003
what the hell is Strikeforce thinking? neither of these guys deserve a shot at any title...especially Southworth! i can't describe how much i hate that guy... i remember seeing his fight with Hogar live, and i wanted to shoot myself in the head!
these guys are losers, but if anyone takes the belt i hope it's White. what do you guys think?

Southworth is about as arrogant as Matt Hughes but without the wins. Is this really the best that strikeforce could muster for a title fight? Or are they holding people back so the title changes hands a lot?

I think Vernon White does deserve a title and will win it

Yawn.... Tiger has the better all around game from the little I've seen of the two, but he is getting older and his win loss record is under .50. Southworth is a jackass plain and simple. I have not actually seen many of his fights though so I cant get a accurate read.... But I dont think its a very interesting match myself.

That's not a knock on his ability per se, but a losing record is hardly deserving of a title (let alone a title shot) in a company that intends to be a top US MMA company.

Vernon is a veteran in MMA, hes fought in Pancrase, the UFC, and Pride.. he should be champ at 205 until someone better comes along and beats him. I dont know the strikeforce roster, but who do they have that would be a better option?

Exactely, this isn't any of those orgs. and if Strikeforce wants to compete with those organizations, they should wait until they have legit contenders on their roster before awarding title shots.
I mean, how serious would you take any organization that has Southworth vs. White for what, I assume, would be called a "world title?"
