Strikeforce: Hamman out; "Feijao" vs. Kyle likely for June 6 prelims

by John Morgan on May 26, 2009 at 7:55 pm ET

Light-heavyweight prospect Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante (7-1) is once again without an opponent for his June 6 Strikeforce debut, as opponent Jared Hamman (10-1) has been forced out of the bout with an unspecified injury suffered in training.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today confirmed the change with Strikeforce Director of Communications Mike Afromowitz.

Additional sources close to the event have revealed Mike Kyle (11-6-1) is the leading candidate to fill in for Hamman on the preliminary card of the "Strikeforce: Lawler vs. Shields" event.

"Strikeforce: Lawler vs. Shields" is scheduled for June 6 at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis. The main card will be broadcast on Showtime.

Cavalcante was originally scheduled to face Strikeforce light-heavyweight champion Renato "Babalu" Sobral at the event. When the date of the card was moved from mid-May to June 6, Sobral elected to withdraw from the event, citing the proximity of the new date to the impending birth of his daughter.

Kyle, a former heavyweight and two-time Strikeforce veteran, has also fought for the UFC, WEC, Pancrase and King of the Cage. The American Kickboxing Academy product is currently riding a two-fight win streak after suffering through a stretch four fights without a victory between January 2006 and March 2008.

Afromowitz said he hopes to have a formal announcement for a replacement shortly.

Weigh-ins for the June 6 event are open to the public, and will be held on Friday, June 5 at 3 p.m. CT at Al Hrabosky's Ballpark Saloon in St. Louis.

The current fight card includes:

MAIN CARD

* Robbie Lawler vs. Jake Shields

* Andrei Arlovski vs. Brett Rogers

* Nick Diaz vs. Scott Smith

* Phil Baroni vs. Joe Riggs

* Kevin Randleman vs. Mike Whitehead

PRELIMINARY CARD

A luta seria undercard de qualquer jeito. Agora o Feijão tem que proteger o peito para não levar uma mordida.
