Fighters make weight for Friday’s Strikeforce-Showtime event
Strikeforce returns to Showtime tonight for its latest “Strikeforce Challengers” installment.
Strikeforce, one of the top organizations behind the Ultimate Fighting Championship, features two of the sport’s top middleweight prospects when current U.S. soldier Tim Kennedy (10-2) takes on undefeated Zak Cummings (10-0).
The “Challengers” series is designed to showcase prospects, though the California-based organization usually books a fight or two with proven commodities.
Also competing on the televised main card tonight are kickboxing legend Ray “Sugarfoot” Sefo, who competes in MMA for the second time, as well as former U.S. Olympic wrestling team captain and MMA newcomer Daniel Cormier (0-0) and former University of Missouri All-American wrestler Tyron Woodley (3-0).
The event takes place at the SpiritBank Event Center in Bixby, Okla. The Showtime portion of the card airs at 11 p.m.
This event is the final one before Strikeforce makes its CBS debut on Nov. 6 with Fedor Emelianenko (30-1) vs. Brett Rogers (10-0). However, events will air on both CBS and Showtime in the future.
