Three-time Strikeforce veteran and undefeated middleweight prospect
Derek Brunson will fight for ShoFIGHT’s first-ever 185-pound
title.
MMAjunkie.com today learned that Strikeforce
officials have granted Brunson permission to face Kendall Grove at Saturday night’s ShoFIGHT 20 event.
ShoFIGHT CEO J.T. Tilley confirmed Grove’s original opponent, Terry
Martin, was unable to obtain medical clearance with the Missouri Office
of Athletics and was forced to withdraw from the bout, opening the door
for Brunson.
