Strikeforce officials announced yesterday that current UFC middleweight Ed Herman (20-8 MMA, 7-5 UFC) will be heading to Strikeforce for the promotions final event to face former Strikeforce middleweight champion Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza (16-3 MMA, 6-1 SF) on the evening main-card.<\/p>\n

Souza’s original opponent, Lorenz Larkin, was forced\u00a0to withdraw from the bout after suffering a knee injury.\u00a0Due to the short notice of Herman’s fight acceptance, the bout will be taking place at a 194-pound catchweight.<\/p>\n

Herman most recently fought at UFC 150 in Denver where he suffered a decision loss to former Strikeforce middleweight champion Jake Shields. However, Shields failed his post-fight drug test causing the decision to be overturned to a no-contest. Prior to the Shields bout, Herman had put together three straight wins, including victories over Kyle Noke, Clifford Starks and Tim Credeur.<\/p>\n

Herman now faces “Jacare”, who has won two-straight fights since losing his title to Luke Rockhold in September of 2011. Back in March, Souza submitted Bristol Marunde with an arm-traingle choke and then most recently he\u00a0KO’d Derek Brunson in 41 seconds at the Strikeforce: Rousey vs. Kaufman event in August.<\/p>\n

“Strikeforce: Champions” takes place January 12 at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City. The main card airs on Showtime following the prelims\u00a0which are set to air on\u00a0Showtime Extreme.<\/p>\n

Herman will be the first and last fighter to cross-over from the UFC to fight in Strikeforce. What do you think of the match-up Penn nation?<\/p>\n
