Woodley-Bears Headlines Nov. 20 Strikeforce
Undefeated welterweight Tyron
Woodley will meet Rudy Bears in
a headlining bout at Strikeforce Challengers 5 on Nov. 20 in Kansas
City, Kan., the promotion announced Thursday.
A two-time All-American at the University of Missouri, Woodley submitted UFC veteran Zach Light with a second-round armbar at Strikeforce Challengers 3 on Sept. 25 in Tulsa, Okla.
In his promotional debut, Woodley submitted Sal Woods in the second round of their undercard bout on June 6 at Strikeforce “Lawler vs. Shields” in St. Louis.
Bears sports a six-fight win streak. He defeated Brendan Seguin with a second-round technical knockout at M-1 “Breakthrough” on Aug. 28 in Kansas City, Kan.
Black House rep Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante will also meet Aaron Rosa in a light heavyweight bout. Cavalcante was a rising prospect until Mike Kyle soundly defeated him at Strikeforce “Lawler vs. Shields” on June 6. The bout marked the Brazilian’s second defeat in nine contests.
Similarly, Rosa has only been stopped twice in 14 bouts and submitted Anthony Ruiz at Strikeforce Challengers 1 on May 15 in Fresno, Calif.
Also on the card, Kim Couture and Kerry Vera will meet in a 135-pound women’s bout, while undefeated Canadian striker Sarah Kaufman will take on Takayo Hashi at 135 pounds as well.
Kaufman has won twice inside the Strikeforce cage, earning unanimous decisions over Miesha Tate and Shayna Baszler while demonstrating her formidable standup skills. Hashi has just one loss in 13 career fights, as she was last submitted with a first-round armbar by Hitomi Akano in Smackgirl in August 2005.
