Shinya Aoki's opponent for Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley is set. On April 9th, the Japanese star will be returning to Strikeforce against a guy who is also known for his "fancy pants", Lyle Beerbohm. MMA-Japan has it:

The Baka Survivor Shinya Aoki will be facing Lyle Beerbohm on the
April 9th Strikeforce event. This comes from the man himself, Mr.
Aoki... Contract signed, i's dotted, t's crossed.

Great fight, that April 9th card will be stacked
Nick Diaz vs. Paul Daley
Gilbert Melendez vs. Tatsuya Kawajiri
Gegard Mousasi vs. Mike Kyle
K.J. Noons vs. TBA
Shinya Aoki vs. Lyle Beerbohm
Hiroyuki Takaya vs. TBA

awesome, like the change... great looking card right there

Japan being represented big on this card.

Good opp for Lyle coming off a loss to beat a highly ranked guy

Card is this. With two title fights they will save the other fighters for different events.

odd that Beerbohm gets the big op and not healy.

KJ still needs an opponent at LW. Maybe he gets Healy?

Lyle is a much better matchup for Aoki although He'll probably sub Lyle since he's way more aggressive with the subs than Shaolin is.

Maybe, and JZ needs work too, he was recently complaining about lack of fights. IF all these guys get work while he continues to sit, I expect him to make a stink.

Agree, odd he got this fight in general, but good opportunity for Lyle.

mmajunkie saying Noons vs Jorge Masvidal possible for April 9.

Noons vs. Masvidal would be a great matchup.

As is Aoki and Beerbohm.

I just watched Healy vs. Beerbohm a couple days ago. That was actaully a pretty entertaining match for it mainly being wrestling, a lot of activity. Healy was just HUGE compared to Lyle. Aoki will probably be bigger than Lyle, but Beerhohm knows what he's doing on the mat..should be interesting.

Noons vs Masvidal is a great fight, and makes sense, both guys have great boxing, def pumped to see it if it goes down.

If they make that then maybe go Healy vs JZ, seems like the way to go.

card keeps on getting better

Those would be some great matchups.
