The circumstances are slightly different, but fans no doubt will be wondering if this really can be happening again.

Just a month after the UFC was forced to cancel a card for the first time in the Zuffa era, now the cancellation bug has bitten Strikeforce. The promotion’s Saturday show in Sacramento, Calif., “Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Healy,” has been scrapped following an injury to lightweight champion and headliner Gilbert Melendez.

Promotion officials late Sunday night announced the event’s cancellation.
