Strikeforce Challengers 14 will take place in Cedar Falls, TX tomorrow night. The card is headlined by undefeated Lightweight, Lyle Beerbohm and Pat Healy, whose recent loss came at the hands of Josh “The Punk” Thomson, but all eyes are on rising star, Ryan Couture to see if he will indeed follow in the natural footsteps of his legendary father, Randy Couture. Ryan’s Lightweight bout against Lee Higgins is the 3rd billed fight on the Main Card but it speaks volumes to his name recognition that he is placed in front of the Main Event fighters in the official fight poster above. Oddly enough, placed alongside Couture in the forefront of the poster is Eric Apple, who hasn’t fought since a loss in 2009 at Strikeforce Challengers 5; so we’re really unsure why he gets placed at all prominently on the poster. Who’s he know?

Ryan Couture will seek to finish his fight as fast and as furiously as he did in his pro-debut back at Strikeforce Challengers 10 when he demolished Lucas Stark with a Triangle Choke in 1:15 seconds in the first round. You can watch Strikeforce Challengers 14 tomorrow night on Showtime Network.

Ryan Couture, who won his pro-debut fight in Strikeforce Challengers 10 over the summer via triangle choke in 1:15 in the first round had been tapped for the Strikeforce Challengers 12 card on November 19th. Couture was back in the Xtreme Couture gym training when he was forced to withdraw from the bout due to a serious staph infection in his leg as seen in the picture above.

The staph infection forced Couture to be hospitalized and undergo surgery to relieve the infection. Couture suffered a few complications after the surgery which put him briefly back in the hospital. But the 28 year-old who gained his spirit from his father, UFC Hall-of-Famer, Randy Couture, is ready to return to the cage for Strikeforce Challengers 14 against Lee Higgins.

Both father and son can be found training at the gym these days, as Randy Couture is booked to face Lyoto Machida at UFC 129. The younger Couture will face Higgins on February 14 in Austin, Texas. More appetizing pics of his staph infection below:
