(From left to right: Mike Kyle squares off with Bigfoot Silva’s massive cranium, Kelli Hutcherson stands out in a crowd, and this is going to sound really strange, but does that photo of Lawler and Lindland remind anybody else of those optical illusion face-drawings that show a different person when you look at them upside-down?)
Headlined by a rematch ten years in the making, and featuring a solid supporting cast of knockout artists, Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Babalu could be the sleeper event of the year. The main card is about to kick off at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, and CagePotato contributor Matt Kaplan will be liveblogging it as quickly as his little fingers will allow. Round-by-round updates from the Showtime broadcast can be found after the jump, beginning at 10 p.m. ET.

Light Heavyweight bout: Benji Radach vs Ovince St. Preux No pick. St Preux is no pushover. Heavyweight bout: Antonio Silva vs Mike Kyle Even though Mike Kyle is the heavyweight King of the Cage champion, I think Antonio Silva here is a nice pick.

Awesome fight. Daley is the better technical puncher. Foot work as well. I just like Scott Smith and want to root for him. I’m picking Scott Smith, but I think this is going to be super tough for Smith ala the Lawler fight.
Lawler 100% here. Lindland is practically over the hill at this point, while Robbie Lawler is peaking. If Lindland can get this fight to the ground though, Lawler has to be concerned as Lindland’s top game is pretty sick.
I’m going with Sobral via submission.

AKA light heavyweight and heavyweight Mike Kyle will step in to fight contender Antonio Silva on this Saturday’s Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Babalu card, Strikeforce revealed Monday to MMAFighting.com’s Ariel Helwani.
Kyle replaces Valentijn Overeem, who recently pulled out of the card due to an elbow injury.
“[Kyle] talked to us about fighting at heavyweight about a month now or six weeks, about taking bigger fights,” Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said on The MMA Hour. “So we think it could be a great matchup and we’re happy to put it together.”

In the wake of Valentijn Overeem’s mildly disappointing injury withdrawal over the weekend, we racked our brains trying to come up with logical heavyweight replacements to face Antonio Silva. Strikeforce, however, took the opposite approach — drafting one of their light-heavyweights and hoping for the best. The promotion confirmed today that reformed bad boy Mike Kyle would be facing Bigfoot on the televised portion of this Saturday’s "Henderson vs. Babalu" card. Huh. That’s an odd one.
To be fair, Kyle has competed at light-heavyweight and heavyweight throughout his career, and has gone 5-0 with 1 no-contest in his last six fights. But his record — especially under the Strikeforce banner, where he’s never won as a heavyweight — suggests that he’s best suited for 205. Competing at light-heavy last year, he scored an upset TKO over current champ Rafael Cavalcante, and made another LHW appearance in July, choking out Abongo Humphrey. The last time Kyle competed for Strikeforce as a heavyweight, he was quickly choked out by Fabricio Werdum.
