A middleweight duel pitting
Joey Villasenor (Pictures) against
Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos has been added to Strikeforce's March 29 card at the HP Pavilion in San Jose.
The bout will take place on the Showtime-aired
Frank Shamrock (Pictures) versus
Cung Le (Pictures) bill, confirmed Strikeforce representative Mike Afromowitz.
Villasenor, 24-6, last saw action in a hotly contested match with Japanese middleweight
Riki Fukuda (Pictures) last September. The Albuquerque native edged Fukuda by split-decision.
Fresh off consecutive loses, March will be a busy month for Santos (15-11), as the Brazilian is already slated for a Wednesday scuffle with judoka
Makoto Takimoto (Pictures) at World Victory Road's "Sengoku."
Also on the card,
Jake Shields (Pictures) will put his 20-4-1 record on the line against UFC veteran
Drew Fickett (Pictures) (31-5).
