Strikeforce Maintains Misaki Is Signed
Strikeforce has refuted a Sherdog.com report that Kazuo Misaki (Pictures) is not signed with the promotion,
maintaining that the former Pride Grand Prix champion has indeed
put his signature on a deal for two fights.
Sherdog.com reported yesterday that despite published reports Misaki had inked a deal with the San Jose, Calif.-based promotion, a source close to the Japanese middleweight revealed that as of Friday, Misaki had not yet officially signed the contract, nor had he seen it.
Strikeforce vice president Mike Afromowitz told Sherdog.com Sunday evening that the promotion had in its possession a signed contract with Misaki to be his exclusive North American promoter for two fights. Misaki will be allowed to fight for Japanese promotions.
"Misaki's signature is on the contract that was faxed to our office two weeks ago," Afromowitz said.
Misaki last saw action at World Victory Road's debut Sengoku card earlier this month, defeating Siyar Bahadurzada (Pictures).
