Strikeforce fighter Mike Kyle (18-8-1) is coming off a heavyweight loss to Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva last December, but now he’s prepared to meet former champ Gegard Mousasi in a light heavyweight battle for the number one contender status. Kyle insists that Mousasi has “never been hit by someone with a heavyweight punch” and will put the Armenian’s chin to the test when they meet on April 9 as part of the Showtime broadcast for Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley. The winner will go on to face newly crowned champ Dan Henderson later this year for the Strikeforce 205 pound title.
