Scott Coker, the promotion's CEO, said today that he plans to invite fearsome striker Melvin Manhoef (24-7-1 MMA, 0-1 SF) to the field, which is expected to begin Aug. 21 at "Strikeforce: Houston."

http://mmajunkie.com/dyn/images/fighters/melvin.manhoef-2.jpg

Coker added that former middleweight champion Cung Le (7-1 MMA, 7-1 SF) will not participate in the tourney and will stick to "superfights."

Manhoef, a K-1 and DREAM veteran, made his U.S. debut in January at "Strikeforce: Miami" and battered former EliteXC middleweight champion Robbie Lawler before he caught a punch that knocked him out cold in the first round.

The Amsterdam resident detests going the distance; only two of his 32 professional MMA fights have involved the judges. Despite the price his record pays for his wild style, he has won legions of fans stateside and overseas.

Manhoef next fights journeyman Tatsuya Mizuno at DREAM.15 on July 10.

As MMAjunkie.com previously reported, other tournament invitees include Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza, Robbie Lawler, Tim Kennedy, Dan Henderson and Jason "Mayhem" Miller. Additionally, the winner of an upcoming World Victory Road/Sengoku bout between Kazuo Misaki and champ Jorge Santiago is under consideration for the field.

Coker previously said that welterweight champion Nick Diaz is also targeted for the tournament, though it's unclear whether he will be able to participate due to a three-month suspension being served for his role in a brawl at "Strikeforce: Nashville." Miller's availability could also be affected because of the incident.

Le, who rematched and defeated Scott Smith earlier this month at "Strikeforce and M-1 Global: Fedor vs. Werdum," initially was among the eight targeted tounrey fighters but later told MMAWeekly.com that he has no desire to compete in the tournament.

Coker said today that the shape of the tournament and number of events in which it will play out still are being decided.

Tof dat we hem weer in Strikeforce zien.

Strikeforce today announced their upcoming media conference call to dish the details on the promotion’s planned “Houston” event, now official for the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, airing live via Showtime on August 21, 2010.

While a fight card has not been confirmed at this time, light heavyweight champion Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal is expected to put his belt on the line against fellow 205-pound standout Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante.
In addition, surging middleweights Tim Kennedy and Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza are rumored to throw down as are lightweight scrappers KJ Noons and Jorge Gurgel.

This marks the fifth major mixed martial arts event for August 2010. Between UFC on Versus 2, UFC 117, WEC 50, Strikeforce: “Houston” and UFC 118, MMA fans are going to have a very busy (and entertaining) month.

Stay tuned to MMAFighterVideos.com for more details on the upcoming Strikeforce: “Houston” event as they become available

- Bobby Lashley will face Ron Sparks at Strikeforce Houston.

- The Strikeforce tournament is off because the athletic commission would not allow eight fighters to compete in a single-elimination tournament in one night.

Hoop dat hij gaat winnen, maar hij moet hard werken aan zijn ground game..

Had volgens mij op bloodyelbow.com gelezen dat er helemaal geen toernooi komt en dat Jacare vs Kennedy is gewoon gelijk voor de belt.

ik vind manhoef een plezier om naar te kijken omdat hij elke x voor de finish gaat en dat is iets wat niet alle vechters doen... maar als hij iets wilt bereiken in strikeforce en eventueel later in de ufc moet hij echt aan zijn groundgame werken!

manhoef is een supertoffe vechter om naar te kijken agressief en altijd voor the kill. Krijg wel het gevoel dat hij aan het einde van zijn carriere zit. Het wordt voor hem steeds moeilijker om van toppers te winnen lijkt het wel.

Klopt, maar met zijn vechtstijl is dat ook niet zo gek. Ik bedoel echt geweldig hoe deze man vecht, hij stelt de fans nooit teleur, maar als je echt een absolute koning in het MMA wilt zijn dan kun je gewoon niet zoveel risico in je gevecht leggen zoals Manhoef doet.

Doet me een beetje denken aan wat Bas Rutten zei over Chuck Liddel. Geweldige vechter maar hij gaat altijd voor de KO en dan sta je dus zelf ook helemaal open om een KO om je oren te krijgen.

Maar geweldig dat Manhoef naar strikeforce gaat en kan niet wachten om die match te zien! maakt me ook geen moer uit tegen wie :p

Jacare zie ik altijd graag vechten lijkt elke wedstrijd beter te worden

Le is een goede tegenstander voor Manhoef omdat beide vechters graag staand blijven, we weten allemaal dat Manhoef het op de grond niet meer redt.
