Powell's POV: I'm excited about tonight's show. The last Strikeforce event that aired on Showtime was excellent. This show lacks the great matchups on paper, but I'm intrigued by the freakshow fight featuring Walker (Vikings fans know it would be only be appropriate if his shoe fell off during his first fight), and Lashley's debut. Furthermore, Cyborg is always fun to watch.
