Strikeforce Challengers 14 will take place in Cedar Falls, TX tomorrow night. The card is headlined by undefeated Lightweight, Lyle Beerbohm and Pat Healy, whose recent loss came at the hands of Josh “The Punk” Thomson, but all eyes are on rising star, Ryan Couture to see if he will indeed follow in the natural footsteps of his legendary father, Randy Couture. Ryan’s Lightweight bout against Lee Higgins is the 3rd billed fight on the Main Card but it speaks volumes to his name recognition that he is placed in front of the Main Event fighters in the official fight poster above. Oddly enough, placed alongside Couture in the forefront of the poster is Eric Apple, who hasn’t fought since a loss in 2009 at Strikeforce Challengers 5; so we’re really unsure why he gets placed ~~at all~~ prominently on the poster. Who’s he know?

Ryan Couture will seek to finish his fight as fast and as furiously as he did in his pro-debut back at Strikeforce Challengers 10 when he demolished Lucas Stark with a Triangle Choke in 1:15 seconds in the first round. You can watch Strikeforce Challengers 14 tomorrow night on Showtime Network.

Dana White announced the winner of BJ Penn vs. Jon Fitch will get the next Welterweight title-shot… which goes to show you how far ahead GSP is from the rest of the fighters in his division. The next contender is either the guy who is currently 1-1 as a Welterweight or the guy he’s already beaten before and is on a 5 fight Unanimous Decision win-streak over middle of the pack guys, which include 2 fighters dropped by the UFC (Akihiro Gono and Ben Saunders)… of course, I am assuming that St. Pierre will be beating Jake Shields. Silly me to jump to conclusions.
