STRIKEFORCE Heavyweight Champion Alistair “The Demolition Man” Overeem
has re-injured a hand and will not be able to defend his title against
Fabricio “Vai Cavalo” Werdum at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California
on Saturday, August 15.
The other three STRIKEFORCE world championship fights remain intact: Gina Carano will collide with Cris Cyborg in the main event and the first STRIKEFORCE women’s 145-pound championship fight in history.
Nick Diaz and Joe “Diesel” Riggs will revisit their bitter rivalry
in the first-ever STRIKEFORCE welterweight (170 pounds) championship
matchup and Josh “The Punk” Thomson will risk his lightweight (155
pounds) belt against former champion Gilbert “El Nino” Melendez.
A replacement bout for the scratched heavyweight fight will be announced soon
