The two welterweights will hook up in bout that could position the winner for a shot at Saturday’s main event conqueror, either Nick Diaz or Marius Zaromskis.
The long-time veteran of the sport also discussed his history of injuries and declared himself 100 percent fit for this potential title eliminator. Riggs also took a shot at Diaz, whom he defeated in the UFC, stating that he matches up well against the top 170 pounders in Strikeforce, having beaten one of the championship competitors previously.
