| Post subject: | Beerbohm out, Cavalcante now meets Green at Strikeforce |
The featured preliminary-card bout at next week's "Strikeforce and M-1 Global: Fedor vs. Henderson" event has undergone a change. Lyle Beerbohm (16-2 MMA, 3-2 SF) has been forced out of a lightweight bout with Gesias "JZ" Cavalcante (15-4-1 MMA, 0-1 SF). In his place steps KOTC champ and recent Strikeforce signee Bobby Green (15-4 MMA, 0-0 UFC). A Strikeforce official today confirmed the change with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). A source told MMAjunkie.com an injured rib forced Beerbohmn off the card, which takes place July 30 at Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Ill. The Cavalcante vs. Green bout currently isn't slated to be broadcast. As MMAjunkie.com recently reported, Green had been targeted for a meeting with Milton Vieira (12-7-1 MMA, 0-0 SF) at Strikeforce Challengers 18. Green, a three-and-a-half-year pro, has spent much of his career with KOTC, though he's also made appearances with Affliction and Tachi Palace Fights. The 24-year-old, who trains with Pinnacle Jiu jitsu and MMA in California, owns seven knockouts and six submissions in 15 career victories. Cavalcante, who owned a 14-1-1 record in late 2007, is 1-3 (with two no-contests) since then. Once considered one of the world's top lightweights, the DREAM vet recently has suffered losses to the likes of Shinya Aoki, Tatsuya Kawajiri and Josh Thomson. Most recently, the Brazilian's "Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum" bout with Justin Wilcox ended in a no-contest when he accidentally poked Wilcox in the eye. The latest "Strikeforce and M-1 Global: Fedor vs. Henderson" card now includes: MAIN CARD (Showtime) Champ Dan Henderson vs. Fedor Emelianenko (heavyweight non-title fight) Champ Marloes Coenen vs. Miesha Tate (for women's welterweight title) Tim Kennedy vs. Robbie Lawler Paul Daley vs. Tyron Woodley Tarec Saffiedine vs. Scott Smith PRELIMINARY CARD Gesias Cavalcante vs. Bobby Green Eduardo Pamplona vs. Tyler Stinson Alexis Davis vs. Julie Kedzie Derek Brunson vs. Lumumba Sayers Bryan Humes vs. Gabriel Salinas-Jones Source: |
