Ahead of his middleweight title shot next month, middleweight Robbie Lawler has signed a contract extension with Strikeforce.

The promotion announced the news Wednesday, just a day after announcing it had also resigned its welterweight champion, Nick Diaz, to a new deal.

Sources close to Lawler’s camp told MMA Fighting on Wednesday night that Lawler’s deal has been in the works for several months, with many of the terms being worked out over the last couple of weeks.
