Strikeforce: ?Rockhold vs. Kennedy? Recap: Rockhold Retains Title, Marquardt Impressive in Return
Strikeforce returned to action tonight with a pair of title fights on their Showtime aired card. In the main event, Strikeforce middleweight champion Luke Rockhold retained his title by defeating Tim Kennedy in a five round war. In the co-main event, Tyron Woodley gave it all he had but it was not enough to make up for the experience and skill of the newly crowned Strikeforce welterweight champion Nate Marquardt. Elsewhere on the card, both Roger Gracie and Lorenz Larkin were both successful in their middleweight debuts.
