Strikeforce has upped the ante for the lightweight showdown between Gilbert
Melendez and last minute replacement, Rodrigo Damm, when the two fighters clash
this weekend (April 11) at Strikeforce: “Shamrock vs. Diaz” from the HP Pavilion
in San Jose, California.
The promotion announced that title implications are now on the line —
the winner of the five-round 155-pound bout will be crowned the Interim
Strikeforce Lightweight Champion. What’s more, the victor will earn a title shot
against reigning division champion, Josh Thomson, when he has fully recovered
from a leg break that he sustained while preparing to take on “El Nino” to unify
the title.
