Gisteren we released a breaking story revealed by Strikeforce executive Scott Coker.

De Mars 3 Strikeforce evenement gepland voor Columbus, Ohio took a hit to its roster when Derek Brunson was unable to pass Ohio medical exams and was subsequently removed from his bout against Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza.

The Strikeforce match making department went straight to work and has now booked a suitable replacement in the form of SCC middleweight champion, Bristol Marunde.

De 3 maart gebeurtenis is ingesteld om te gaan omlaag van de landelijke Arena in Columbus Ohio en met een bantamgewicht titel gevecht tussen uitdager Ronda Rousey en kampioen Miesha Tate in de headliners sleuf.

Jacare is a world renowned submission grappler who at one point held the Strikeforce middleweight title. He last saw action losing his strap to new champ, Luke Rockhold this past September.

Marunde earns his spot on the Strikeforce roster after a lengthy career that includes bouts under the IFL and M-1global banners. He last saw action in a decision win over UFC veteran Jay Silva.
