A third – and presumably final – bout between Tim Kennedy and Jason Miller appears to be in the cards for Strikeforce’s event in Columbus, OH.
Strikeforce: Columbus is scheduled to take place on March 5 from the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, and will feature Dan Henderson taking on Rafael Cavalvcante, presumably in the main event bout.
At the time of this posting, verbal agreements have taken place, with bout agreements soon to be issued and the fight being OK’d by both Strikeforce and Showtime officials.
For those who haven’t followed the Kennedy vs. Miller series, Kennedy defeated Miller as part of an eight-man tournament at Extreme Challenge 50 in early 2003.
Miller then proceeded to win an unanimous decision over Kennedy in their second bout as part of HDNet’s second – and final – effort s a fight promotion back in 2007.
Kennedy is coming off a loss to current Strikeforce middleweight champion Ronlado Souza last August; meanwhile, Miller has won consecutive bouts against Tim Stout and Kazushi Sakuraba, but failed to win the middleweight title when he and Jake Shields fought for the vacant title back in 2009.
The winner of this fight will probably be the #1 contender and get a crack at the belt.
With the Kennedy vs. Miller bout likely to take place, Strikeforce: Columbus looks something like this:
- Jorge Gurgel vs. TBA
- Tim Kennedy vs. Jason Miller
- Gilbert Melendez vs. Tatsuya Kawajiri
- Dan Henderson vs. Rafael Cavalcante
