A 182-pound catchweight bout between veteran Joe Riggs (32-11 MMA, 3-3 SF) and Louis Taylor (6-1 MMA, 0-1 SF) is set for next month's Strikeforce Challengers 10 event. Strikeforce spokesperson Mike Afromowitz today confirmed the fight with MMAjunkie.com. In addition to that contest, Afromowitz said the event also features the start of the organization's 135-pound women's tourney. Participants will be announced at a later date. Strikeforce Challengers 10 takes place Aug. 13 at Dodge Theatre in Phoenix, Ariz. The night's main card airs on Showtime. Riggs fights for the first time since a January decision loss to notable Jay Hieron at "Strikeforce: Miami." The defeat snapped the UFC vet's four-fight win streak, which was his longest in more than six years. The Arizona-based fighter now gets to fight in his home state as Strikeforce makes its debut in the Grand Canyon State. His opponent, Taylor, fights in Strikeforce for just the second time. The Chicago-based fighter suffered a submission loss (due to punches) to fellow prospect Nate Moore at the November "Strikeforce and M-1 Global: Fedor vs. Rogers" event. However, he's since rebounded for a pair of wins in outside organizations, including a 68-second knockout of Ryan Sturdy at Bellator 14 earlier this year. The women's tourney, meanwhile, will determine a new contender for the Strikeforce women's welterweight title. Current champ Sarah Kaufman makes her first title defense later this month at Strikeforce Challengers 9 when she takes on Roxanne Modafferi. The winner of that fight is expected to meet the tourney winner later this year or in early 2011. Source: http://www.mmajunkie.com |
