A light heavyweight bout between Benji Radach and Ovince St. Preux has been added to the televised portion of Saturday’s Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Babalu II card in St. Louis.

ESPN.com first reported the new bout, and Strikeforce director of communications Mike Afromowitz confirmed the news with MMA Fighting Tuesday afternoon.

An open slot was made available on the Showtime telecast after Herschel Walker was forced to pull out of his fight against Scott Carson last week due to a cut he suffered in training.

StrikeforceJustin Wilcox, Ovince St. Preux and Liz Carmouche all had the biggest wins of their MMA careers at Friday night’s Strikeforce Challengers event on Showtime. So it’s a shame that an accidental eye poke ending a fight in just six seconds is what everyone will be talking about.

But that’s exactly what happened on Friday night: The fight between Dream welterweight champion Marius Zaromskis and Waachiim Spiritwolf was over as soon as it started when Zaromskis charged across the cage at the opening bell, went for a flying knee and accidentally poked Spiritwolf in the eye, causing an injury that led the ringside doctor to call off the fight. The official ending was a no contest, six seconds into the first round, in one of the fastest, strangest endings to a fight in MMA history.
