Jorge Masvidal (Pictures) will fight
Ryan Healy (Pictures) as part of the Feb. 23 "Strikeforce At The Dome" in Tacoma, Wash., Sherdog.com has learned.
Meeting at a catch-weight of 160 pounds, Masvidal and Healy (9-2-1) promises to be a stand-up affair. Fighting out of Miami, Fla., Masvidal (12-2) looks to extend a six-fight win streak that includes a stoppage of
Yves Edwards (Pictures).
Strikeforce VP Mike Afromowitz confirmed the 10-bout card at the Tacoma Dome would also include a welterweight contest between IFL veteran
Brad Blackburn (Pictures) and
Ray Perales (Pictures).
Previously announced bouts feature
Bob Sapp (Pictures) in his cage-fighting debut against K-1 veteran
Jan Nortje (Pictures);
Maurice Smith (Pictures) takes on fellow kickboxing champion
Rick Roufus; and
Duane Ludwig (Pictures) battles veteran
Steve Berger (Pictures).
Though no television broadcast is currently in place, that could change in the run-up to Feb. 23, Afromowitz said.
