From the second Ronda Rousey's UFC bout with Liz Carmouche was announced, Strikeforce's end was rumored. The promotion has been teetering since having to cancel two cards in a row in September and November. Now, the Zuffa-owned, Showtime-backed promotion has confirmed that their January show will be their last.
?Since 2009, Showtime has been a great partner and we appreciate its support of Strikeforce and our athletes,? Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said via the promotion's website. ?For our final event, we?ve loaded the card with some outstanding fights. This is going to be a memorable night for the sport of mixed martial arts.?
The event takes place Jan. 12 in Oklahoma City, and will feature:
Nate Marquardt vs. Tarec Saffiedine
Daniel Cormier vs. Dion Staring
Josh Barnett vs. Nandor Guelmino
Gegard Mousasi vs. Mike Kyle
Ronaldo ?Jacare? Souza vs. Ed Herman
Pat Healy vs. to be determined
Roger Gracie vs. Anthony Smith
Tim Kennedy vs. Trevor Smith
KJ Noons vs. Ryan Couture
Jorge Gurgel vs. Adriano Martin
Estevan Payan vs. Michael Bravo
It's a fun card for the finale to a promotion that has provided memorable moments but was plagued with inconsistency.
