Lyle “Fancy Pants” Beerbohm picked up his 15th straight win this past weekend at a local show in Washington.
And while it might seem strange that a now 15-0 fighter had to compete outside a top organization to keep active, “Fancy Pants” explained on Thursday’s episode of The MMA Hour that once injuries precluded him from taking fights against Josh Thomson and another Strikeforce contender, the promotion gave him the green light to fight elsewhere.
Beerbohm is certain he will return to the Strikeforce cage in January, but not before he fights for the Rumble on the Ridge promotion on Dec. 4.
If he fights consistently for Strikeforce in 2011, he should probably view that as some kind of minor victory considering the fact he got himself in hot water with the organization this past year when he publicly asked to be released from his contract on mixedmartialarts.com.
