On the good news front today, MMA Weekly is reporting that despite the recent tragedies in Japan, the nation’s Tatusya Kawajiri will still make the trek next month to fight Strikeforce Lightweight champ Gilbert Melendez. Glad to hear it.
The April 9th bout will be a rematch, as Melendez earned a UD win over Kawajiri back in the good ole’ Pride days. If the name Kawajiri doesn’t ring a bell or you’ve never seen him fight, you have some MMA homework to do….
To bet on the April 9th Strikeforce card, which will also feature Nick Diaz vs. Paul Daley, head here.
