This Saturday night (June 18, 2011) on the Strikeforce: "Overeem vs. Werdum" main card, two lightweights will duke it out in "The Lone Star State" as K.J. Noons takes on Jorge Masvidal with a potential Strikeforce lightweight title shot on the line.
Noons is just one bout removed from a thrilling title fight against Nick Diaz this past October in a serious grudge match. He's not only looking to get back on track but he's hoping to put himself square into the title picture in his more natural 155-pound weight class.
Masvidal has quietly gone 3-0 in Strikeforce during his promotional run. Most fans remember him for being on the receiving end of one of MMA's greatest submissions of all time but he's built a solid resume with some major victories. He knows how important a victory on Saturday night will be for his career.Can Noons get back on track and perform the way he knows he's capable of on the biggest stage? Will Masvidal be able to create a positive highlight of his own? Which fight will impress the suits upstairs enough to earn a title shot against Strikeforce Lightweight Champion Gilbert Melendez?
