Shane Del Rosario is pretty happy right about now that he didn’t skip
fighting to study psychology in grad school. His once-skeptical parents
can breathe a little easier, too.
He’s in the big show.
Rosario earned that distinction this past Saturday
with a first-round submission over Lavar Johnson at
“Strikeforce and M-1 Global: Fedor vs. Silva.” The win also put him in
line to step in to the Strikeforce heavyweight grand prix as an
alternate should one of its six remaining competitors be unable to
compete. Now comes the real work.
