Background
The card will take place on a Wednesday and will coincide with the 2010 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3).
According to Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker, “The June 16 card will include some top-heavy main-event fighters, as well as some standout ‘Challenger’ prospects.”
Jason Miller was targeted as Lawler's opponent for this event. However, Strikeforce officials believe the Tennessee Athletic Commission will have "Mayhem" suspended, so Renato Babalu Sobral is now being advertised as Robbie Lawler's opponent in a 195-lb Catchweight bout.
On Strikeforce.com, the event page originally stated Noons would have a rematch with Charles Bennett, but Bennett's name was immediately taken down and replaced with TBA.
Bouts currently rumored to be in the works for the event include:
* Shane Del Rosario vs. Lolohea Mahe
* Tim Kennedy vs. TBA
