Tim Kennedy won’t fight Luke Rockhold, after all.
A few days after Strikeforce officials announced that middleweight matchup, MMAjunkie.com has learned Kennedy instead will fight Melvin Manhoef at next month’s show.
The bout is expected to be part of the Showtime-televised main card of “Strikeforce: Feijao vs. Henderson,” which takes place March 5 at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.
