Tim Kennedy vs. Melvin Manhoef official for "Strikeforce: Feijao vs. Henderson"

Citing a leg injury, Luke Rockhold has withdrawn from a planned matchup with Tim Kennedy (12-3 MMA, 3-1 SF) at March's "Strikeforce: Feijao vs. Henderson" event.

As MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps | MMAjunkie.com
(http://www.mmajunkie.com)) first reported, Dutch slugger Melvin Manhoef (24-8-1 MMA, 0-1 SF) will step into the open slot. Strikeforce brass today made the change official.

The bout will be featured on the Showtime-televised main card of "Strikeforce: Feijao vs. Henderson," which takes place March 5 at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.

Manhoef actually is the third proposed opponent for Kennedy at Strikeforce's debut show in the Buckeye State. Prior to the Rockhold booking, officials initially targeted a rubber match between Kennedy and Jason "Mayhem" Miller that recently was scrapped.

Kennedy, who recently has struggled to get opponents, fights for the first time since an August decision loss to Ronald "Jacare" Souza for the Strikeforce interim middleweight title. Prior to the defeat, the former IFL fighter won four consecutive fights, which included submission victories over Strikeforce's Nick Thompson, Zak Cummings and Trevor Prangley.

Manhoef, who's also an active K-1 kickboxer, fights for Strikeforce for only the second time. He first appeared in January 2010 and suffered a first-round knockout loss to Robbie Lawler. Combined with that loss, Manhoef now has dropped four of his past six fights. Prior to the skid, the DREAM veteran had posted a 6-1 mark (with six knockout wins) from 2007 to 2008. In fact, 23 of his 24 career MMA wins have come via knockout.

"I come to fight and give my very best," Manhoef stated in an official release. "I am very, very hungry. I need to win this fight. I am looking forward to fighting Tim Kennedy."

Hij heeft zeker zijn takedown defense verbeterd maar zijn groundgame leek weer nergens op helaas. Zo ontzettend jammer.
