SAN JOSE, Calif. - Mike Kyle couldn't leave the building fast enough after hearing Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker's carefully worded view of the 205-pound division.

"I'm really upset by it," Kyle said as he stood outside the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif., following Strikeforce's press conference on Thursday.

"It makes me really not even want to fight. I don't feel like I'm getting nowhere in the sport. All the changes I've made in my life and the things I'm doing, there's no recognition for it."
