Fanhouse has confirmed with Strikeforce officials that on-again, off-again heavyweight Fabricio Werdum will fight on their Aug. 15 card -- really, swear to God, this time we’re not kidding -- against Mike Kyle.
You’ll recall Werdum as an ousted UFC heavyweight who posted a 2-2 record, exiting on a loss to Junior dos Santos last October; you’ll also recall Kyle as the frequently-fouling antagonist who has shown a fondness for late hits.
If Werdum is being tabbed as a possible contender to Fedor Emelianenko’s invisible world championship down the line, this probably isn’t the level of opposition he needs to be facing.
