"Bang" Bolster's Feb. Strikeforce

By Sherdog.com Staff Jan 28, 2008
Duane Ludwig (Pictures) will fight Steve Berger (Pictures) in a welterweight fight Feb. 23 in Tacoma, Wash., Strikeforce announced Sunday.

Ludwig, a former Muay Thai champion, looks to rebound in Strikeforce after a stoppage loss to England's Paul Daley (Pictures) last June. The 29-year-old Coloradan's most recent bout, a TKO over Mario Stapel (Pictures), came in September in the Ring of Fire promotion.

In Berger, a ground-savvy veteran from St. Louis, Miss., Ludwig (16-7) fights a man whose record reveals mixed results. Since 2004, Berger has accumulated just a 3-8 record, dropping to 20-17-2 (1 NC) overall.

Joining the "Strikeforce At The Dome" card presented by bodogFIGHT, Ludwig and Berger will compete alongside bouts featuring Bob Sapp (Pictures) and Jan Nortje (Pictures), as well as Maurice Smith (Pictures) and Rick Roufus.

A total of 10 fights are expected for the mixed martial arts card at the Tacoma Dome.
