We’re gonna go ahead and set the over/under on the number of times someone refers to the newly announced Robbie Lawler vs. Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza Strikeforce middleweight title bout as “a classic matchup between striker and grappler” at, oh, about 100,000. And we’re taking the over. On the bright side, as of Saturday night the organization now has a plan for its 185-pound champion, who has been totally off the radar since his August victory over Tim Kennedy. This fight is also one baby step toward Scott Coker making good on his recent claim that Strikeforce will do a title fight each month for the first half of 2011. One down, five to go, Scott.
