WHAT: CBS AND STRIKEFORCE will present a World Championship Tripleheader that features five
fighters ranked among the best in their respective weight classes and an undefeated star (Lawal)
hoping to join their ranks on Saturday, April 17, live on The CBS Television Network (9 p.m.
ET/PT), from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. Two of the fighters who will appear on the
broadcast will participate in a conference call on Tuesday to discuss their bouts.
One of the elite mixed martial artists at 205 pounds, Gegard Mousasi (27-2-1),
of Armenia, will put a 15-fight winning streak and his STRIKEFORCE World Light
Heavyweight crown on the line against one of the most confident, fastest-rising,
charismatic fighters in the world, “King Mo” Lawal (6-0), of Murfreesboro, Tenn.
An aggressive, Dutch-Armenian fighter, Mousasi captured the STRIKEFORCE light heavyweight title
by impressively stopping Renato “Babalu” Sobral one minute into the first round of their meeting
on Aug. 15, 2009. Unbeaten since his MMA debut, the 28-year-old King Mo (6-0) is a two-time NCAA
Division I All-American and Big 12 wrestling champion for Oklahoma State University.
The card is highlighted by legendary MMA champion and two-time Olympic wrestler Dan Henderson
(25-7), of Temecula, Calif., who’ll make his STRIKEFORCE debut when he challenges Jake Shields,
the STRIKEFORCE World Middleweight Champion (24-4-1) of San Francisco, who has won 13 in-a-row
and is unbeaten since December 2004.
In the third world title fight, Gilbert “El Nino” Melendez (17-2), of San Francisco, Calif., will
risk his STRIKEFORCE World Lightweight belt against DREAM champion and Japanese superstar Shinya
Aoki (23-4).
