CINCINNATI –
Sometimes heavyweight Mike Kyle put on a scintillating, technical performance,
handing previously undefeated Brazilian light heavyweight prospect Marcos Rogerio de Lima his first career loss
as a professional.
The contest served as the featured preliminary bout of Saturday’s
“Strikeforce: Barnett vs. Kharitonov” event at U.S. Bank Arena in
Cincinnati.
The five-bout preliminary card aired on HDNet and preceded the evening’s Showtime-broadcast main card.
