Shields and Mayhem for Strikeforce MW Belt at "Fedor Vs. Rogers"

One of two Strikeforce titles that has been floating in limbo will be awarded to a fresh new fighter.  Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker has confirmed to MMAWeekly that Cung Le will officially release his grasp on the Middleweight belt due to further commitments in the film industry.

All the big talk between former Bully Beatdown buddies Jake Shields and Jason "Mayhem" Miller will be settled "mano a mano" as they will participate in the first official match-up to compliment the headlining brawl between Fedor Emelianenko and Brett Rogers on the November 7th Strikeforce show on CBS.  Coker also mentioned to expect newly crowned LHW champion Gegard Mousasi on the card along with Cris Cyborg, according to BloodyElbow.

That leaves Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza out of immediate title range, as he was originally scheduled to face Mayhem for the DREAM MW title before signing with Strikeforce, and he's been very vocal about being more than ready to face either Shields or Mayhem for the belt.  I would love to see Jacare take on Strikeforce's newest 185 lb. acquisition on the same card, Matt Lindland, to produce the next #1 contender and provide continuity for the MW title race.
