Also on the card is a welterweight bout between England’s Dan Hardy and American Carlos Condit. This looks like a really good card on paper. Heavyweights Cheick Kongo and Travis Browne should have the fight of the night. There are a total of 10 fights on the card.
Next up for Strikeforce is Challengers 11 on October 22, from Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif. The main event is a rematch between “Relentless” Roger Bowling and “Vicious” Bobby Voelker. Their first bout ended early due to an accidental poke in the eye.

The baddest man on the planet Brock Lesnar returns to the cage on October 23 at UFC 121 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. UFC heavyweight champion Lesnar will defend his title against the undefeated Cain Velasquez. There’s something in the air when Lesnar steps into the octagon. You want to be a witness to whatever transpires between him and his opponent.
UFC 121 looks to be a very competitive card with UFC newcomer and former Strikeforce middleweight champion Jake Shield taking on Martin Kampmann. Former light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz steps back into the cage to take on hard-hitting Mark Hamill.

i think akiyama should win the fight - he underestimated his last opponent but he will not do it twice (i hope) - otherwise he could be kicked out of UFC
You're right, this is Akiyama must win fight or he is out. Unless the UFC is planning a fight card in Japan and they need a headliner. Like they're doing with Bisping in England.
