Strikeforce’s first visit to Arizona will feature a throwback feel as
four women square off in a single-night, single-elimination
tournament with the winner earning the right to a title shot.
While the field has yet to be officially announced, MMAjunkie.com has confirmed with Strikeforce officials that Hitomi
Akano and Maiju Kujala each will
take part in the four-woman bracket.
The remaining two entrants in the Aug. 13 Strikeforce Challengers event
haven’t been announced.
