Strikeforce returns to Showtime tomorrow night with a middleweight title fight of their own. Showtime has released a news brief for next tomorrow night's event which pits middleweight champion Luke Rockhold vs. Tim Kennedy. The event will also mark the Zuffa return of former UFC fighter Nate Marquardt, as he takes on Mizzou wrestling standout Tyron Woodley for the vacant welterweight crown.

Before UFC president Dana White even strapped the middleweight championship belt around Anderson Silva's waist, my Twitter timeline was filled with questions on when Silva would face light heavyweight champ Jon Jones.
White said, "Let's see what happens," in response to a question about the two champs fighting. With Silva walking around at around 215 lbs., size is not a problem. But it's still not a fight that should happen for these reasons.
1. It's a no-win situation for Jon Jones. If he wins, he was expected to win and defend his weight class. If he loses, does anyone give him a pass?
2. Silva doesn't need it to prove he's the greatest. He has moved up to light heavyweight twice before. Both times, he won in the first round. As detailed here, Silva has dominated since joining the UFC in 2006.

3. It ties up both the middleweight and light heavyweight belts. Between injuries and time to prepare for fights and placing championship fights on the perfect cards, championship bouts don't happen enough. This fight would tie up two different belts as Silva and Jones prepared for their fight. Do you remember how long we had to wait around for Sonnen/Silva and Jones' bout with Rashad Evans?
4. Neither of them want the fight. When champs want to move across weight classes, they should at least want the fight to happen. Jones, who is preparing for his Sept. 1 fight against Dan Henderson, tweeted his lack of interest in a bout with Silva.
"Man my man ?#AndersonSilva? went to work tonight, consistently amazing," Jones said. "I guess Anderson said he had no interest in fighting me at tonight's press conference, I feel the same way about him. Nothing but respect."
It has nothing to do with either man not wanting the challenge or "being afraid," as I'm sure will get mentioned in the comment section. It has to do with their focus on their own weight classes, and participating in fights that make sense for them.

Ronda Rousey, the Strikeforce bantamweight champion, went to the ESPYs, a cable TV event, on Wednesday night. While on the red carpet, she was asked if there were any celebrities she would like to beat up. She names reality television and adult video-maker Kim Kardashian and explains why her about 30 seconds in. Rousey uses some very NSFW language.
It's good to know Rousey is using her powers for good, not evil. In the rest of her interview, Rousey said she had no idea she was going to be on the cover of ESPN the Magazine's Body issue, and has some unorthodox eating habits.

With both the American and British/Australian editions of "The Ultimate Fighter" airing soon, the UFC announced the coaches, and eventual fight pairings, for "The Ultimate Fighter 16" and "The Ultimate Fighter: Smashes."
USA Today reports Roy Nelson and Shane Carwin will coach the show in the U.S., and face off at the show's finale.
"This is going to be a very interesting dynamic between these two heavyweights," UFC president Dana White said. "They both have huge punching power and great chins, but outside of the octagon, they couldn't be any more different."
TUF 16 will air on FX starting in September, and the live finale will be in December. The UFC is returning to a taped season after the 15th season, which showed live fights, failed to give the long-running reality show a much-needed shot in the arm.
Meanwhile, on the new edition of the show, Ross Pearson will coach Team U.K. and George Sotiropoulos the Aussies. The show, named "Smashes" after a cricket rivalry, will air on FX in Australia.
Will you the coaches make you want to tune in? Tell us in the comments, Facebook or Twitter.

The first six fights at UFC 148 ended in a decision. Thankfully, Chad Mendes ended the streak with a first round TKO of Cody McKenzie.
Mendes, a Division I All-American wrestler, appeared to be a fighter who could be susceptible to McKenzie's well-known guillotine. To keep out of the submission attempt, Mendes came out swinging. He knocked McKenzie to the ground with a body shot, the finished with ground and pound. The fight was stopped 31 seconds in the first round.
