Strikeforce is back! Yep! It’s back! There’s an event totally happening tonight live in Portland.

In the main event, Luke Rockhold looks to defend his middleweight title against No. 1 contender Tim Kennedy. The two are considered the cornerstones of Strikeforce’s middleweight division and will likely be transitioned over to the UFC when that time finally arrives.

In the co-main event, Tyron Woodley and Nate Marquardt square off for the now vacant welterweight title. The belt has been without a champion since Nick Diaz made his way over to the UFC. This fight pits a very strong and dominant wrestler in Woodley against one of the most well-rounded veterans of the sport in Marquardt. 

The nine-fight card kicks off at 8 p.m. on Showtime Extreme and continues to 10 p.m. on Showtime. Sorry West Coast, you won’t be seeing it live.
