- UFC middleweight Ed ‘Short Fuse’ Herman (20-8, 1NC) will cross promotions to meet former Strikeforce champ Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza (16-3, 1NC) in a 194-lbs catchweight bout at next months Strikeforce: Marquardt vs. Saffiedine event.
The announcement was made by Strikeforce on Thursday when they released the full-lineup for the January card.
Strikeforce: Marquardt vs. Saffiedine is expected to take place on January 12, 2013 at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Herman steps in for an injured Lorenz Larkin who is out with a knee
injury. Souza was a replacement fighter himself, stepping in for
injured champ Luke Rockhold.
When Herman steps into the Strikeforce cage, he will become the first
UFC fighter to transition to it’s sister promotion. Heavyweight Frank
Mir was to earlier this fall versus Daniel Cormier but an injury forced
him out of that fight.
‘Short Fuse’ had a decision loss overturned to a "No Contest” in his
last fight after opponent Jake Shields failed a post-fight drug test at
UFC 150. Previous to that match, Herman had won three straight, all
finishes. He submitted Clifford Starks at UFC 143 and Kyle Noke at UFC
on Versus 5. While stopping Tim Credeur via TKO at the TUF 13 Finale.
Souza has won two straight and is 6-1 in his last seven matches. He
stepped in as a late replacement for Bristol Marunde continued... | |
