Earlier this week, it was reported that Strikeforce Lightweight, Ryan Couture had to pull out of his November 19th Strikeforce Challengers 12 co-headlining fight with Juan Zapata due to a staph infection in his leg. Couture was hospitalized for the infection on Monday and underwent surgery on his leg, but was released today. Couture is expected to make a full recovery from what was believed to be a form of infection called Cellulitis staph. Though deeply disappointed to miss his second scheduled pro-performance, Couture remains in good spirits and will be back in training very soon.
