(Update: Shine Fights officials today told us Conor Heun has not
joined the tournament as an injury replacement. A post on what appeared to be the
organization’s official Twitter account mentioned the change earlier today, which prompted our report. However,
the switch apparently wasn’t official.)
With Josh Shockley scratched due to injury, Strikeforce and IFL veteran Conor Heun has stepped in as a replacement.
The Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt now joins the eight-man field for next month’s “Shine Fights: Lightweight Grand Prix” tournament.
