For an event entitled “Champions,” Strikeforce’s Jan. 12 event is apparently running out of them very quickly.
According to a report by The MMA Corner, Strikeforce middleweight
champion Luke Rockhold has suffered a wrist injury and has been forced
to withdraw from the card.
Strikeforce and Showtime officials were unavailable for comment when
contacted by MMAjunkie.com, and executives from both
companies have yet to make an official announcement.
However, sources close to the bout have indicated Rockhold is indeed a scratch.
