Background
After Jake Shields vacated the Strikeforce Middleweight Championship, there was much speculation that there would be a tournament for the title. However, Strikeforce announced that Ronaldo Souza and Tim Kennedy would fight for the championship at this event.[3]
André Galvão was originally scheduled to face Nate Moore, however Jorge Patino stepped in on late notice for the injured Moore.[4]
The Cormier/Riley and Galvão/Patino preliminary bouts streamed live on Sherdog.com.[5]
This was the last Strikeforce event branded with their original logo. The promotion debuted their new & final logo at Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Noons II in October 2010.[6]
The event drew an estimated 367,000 viewers, with a peak at 470,000 on Showtime.[7]
