From MMAJunkie, what a card if it happens

With four heavyweights remaining in Strikeforce's grand prix, a date has been set for the semifinals of the eight-man tournament.

Multiple sources close to the promotion on Thursday told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that an event set for Sept. 10 will host the third leg of the grand prix.

A host city has yet to be confirmed at the time of this writing.

Four bouts are already rumored for the early fall card: A middleweight title match between current champ Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza and Luke Rockhold; a light-heavyweight bout between former champ Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal and submission ace Roger Gracie; a lightweight matchup between former lightweight champion Josh Thomson and Maximo Blanco; and another light-heavyweight tilt between former champ Gegard Mousasi and Mike Kyle.

None of the bouts have been made official by Strikeforce, nor has the event.

As for the tournament, the semifinals feature two bouts: Alistair Overeem vs. Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva and Sergei Kharitonov vs. Josh Barnett.

It won't be in California or Nevada

If all those fights actually go down on that show, sweet card.

Not like the shitty UFC/PRIDE merger or the UFC/WEC merger or what will end up happening with the UFC/Strikeforce merger.
