The devastation left by this past Friday’s earthquake in Japan has called into question the participation of two Japanese fighters scheduled to compete at “Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley.”
As a precautionary measure, two stateside replacements are on standby, according to multiple sources close to the event.
Lightweights Jorge Masvidal and K.J. Noons originally were targeted to fight each other at the April 9 event. Now, though, they could step in for Tatsuya Kawajiri and Shinya Aoki, respectively.
