| | Subject: UPDATED - Hieron eyes three fight deal. Tue Jul 28, 2009 10:20 am | |
| http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=9239&zoneid=13It appears that Affliction refugee Jay Hieron has found a new home.
Three
days after the clothing company ceased its prizefighting operations,
the former International Fight League welterweight champion has agreed
in principal to a multi-fight deal with Strikeforce, though a contract
has yet to be signed.
In his first fight, Hieron would be
expected to step in for Joe Riggs to face Nick Diaz at Strikeforce
“Carano vs. Cyborg” in San Jose, Calif., on Aug. 15. The fight will
likely be for the first ever Strikeforce welterweight title.
Carano
vs. Cyborg, which boasted no less than four title fights, recently saw
its championship schedule halved by injuries and withdrawals.
Heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem, who was scheduled to defend his
title in June, was forced to withdraw from a return against Fabricio
Werdum due to a re-aggravated hand injury. Riggs withdrew last week
after reportedly suffering an adverse reaction to prescription
medication.
Hieron (17-4) was on the front lines for the
collapse of the IFL in summer 2008 and fielded offers from the UFC and
Strikeforce before accepting an offer with Affliction. In January, he
fought Jason High in the swing bout for Affliction’s second event, “Day
of Reckoning,” earning a brutal knockout in 64 seconds. A native of
Long Island, New York, he is a mainstay of Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas.
The
main event between Gina Carano and Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos for the
women’s 145-pound divisional championship, and a lightweight title
rematch between reigning champ Josh Thomson and former champ Gilbert
Melendez remain the only five-round fights untouched, though rumors
have circulated about a possible injury to Thomson.
(Editor's
Note: This article initially stated that Jay Hieron had signed a
multi-fight contract with Strikeforce. It was updated at 10:15 a.m. PT
Tuesday to state that he has agreed to the deal in principal, but has
yet to actually sign a contract with Strikeforce.)
Wolfnote : I read a Hieron statement this morning where he say that he likes their offer and is ready to sign. I am surprised the deal isn't official already...

| Great fight.
Herion will beat Diaz, I am putting money on it. The guy is vastly underrated and trains at Xtreme Couture. | |
