If the Strikeforce event scheduled for September 10th was already stacked enough with the semifinals of the Heavyweight Grand Prix, the promotion just upped the ante by confirming several other additions to the card on Twitter yesterday:
Jordan Mein’s first opponent in Strikeforce? Evangelista @CYBORG121 Santos verbally agreed to for 9/10
Also agreed for Sept 10 if you didn’t know – @RogerGracie vs. @KingMoFH, @Maxi_Blanco vs. @TheRealPunk, @RockholdMMA vs. Jacare
The event doesn’t yet have a location set, but it’s expected to air live on Showtime, and given how quickly the card is loading up with exciting fights, we can probably expect to see some of the prelims televised in some format, perhaps on HDNet as Strikeforce did with their last event.
Here’s how the card is currently shaping up:
-Ronaldo Souza vs. Luke Rockhold – Strikeforce middleweight championship
-Josh Barnett vs. Sergei Kharitonov – Heavyweight GP semifinal
-Antonio Silva vs. Daniel Cormier – Heavyweight GP semifinal
-Roger Gracie vs. Muhammed Lawal
-Josh Thomson vs. Maximo Blanco
-Gegard Mousasi vs. Mike Kyle – not yet confirmed
-Evangelista Santos vs. Jordan Mein
