The post-Jake Shields era has begun in earnest for Strikeforce.

With the promotion’s former middleweight champion recently released and
likely heading to the UFC, Strikeforce officials announced late Friday
night that top middleweight contenders Tim Kennedy and Ronaldo “Jacare”
Souza will meet at “Strikeforce: Houston” with the winner claiming the
promotion’s now-vacant 185-pound title.

Previously reported bouts of light heavyweight champ Muhammed “King Mo”
Lawal vs. Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante and Jorge Gurgel vs. K.J. Noons
were also made official, and Bobby Lashley will also appear on the
card.
