Brock Larson vs. Tarec Saffiedine at Shark Fights 13

More Strikeforce fighters on Shark Fights. Tarec is one of their best prospects at WW, a win over Larson would be huge but a loss would be a waste.


Shark Fights 13 looks awesome. Not PPV caliber but if it's only 10 bucks or something, i'll buy it.



The final piece in Shark Fights' pay-per-view puzzle has finally been put in place.

Shark Fights officials today announced that Strikeforce and DREAM veteran Tarec Saffiedine (9-2) has agreed to meet Brock Larson (29-4), who had already been announced for the card, on the main card of Shark Fights 13.

Featuring a main event non-title fight between Shark Fight light heavyweight champion Trevor Prangley and Keith Jardine, as well as a star-studded lineup full of MMA notables, Shark Fights 13 takes place on Sept. 11 at the Amarillo Civic Center in Amarillo, Texas.

The main card airs live on pay-per-view.

Saffiedine, a Belgian fighter who trains with Team Quest, has made two appearances on Strikeforce Challengers cards in 2010. "Sponge" picked up victories in each of those contests.

In fact, Saffiedine's lone loss in his past nine trips to the cage was an October 2009 split-decision result against Dong Sik Yoon.

Meanwhile, Larson brings a three-fight win streak into the contest. The Minnesota Mixed Martial Arts Academy fighter was released from the UFC after back-to-back losses to Brian Foster and Mike Pierce but has since reeled-off three-straight first-round stoppage wins.

"Saffiedine is a well-rounded fighter and rising star in the Strikeforce welterweight division," Shark Fight president Brent Medley stated in today's release. "He has fought in a number of promotions around the world including DREAM in Japan and holds notable wins over PRIDE veteran Seichi Ikemoto, James Terry and Nate Moore.

"Both fighters are hungry for this win. Fans can expect an exciting, action-packed fight to kick off the night."

Very solid card. Too bad that is a big day in college football. I will be at the OU vs FSU game and when I come back I will probably be going to the Comanche Boy's boxing fight.
I look forward to watching it the next day on mmalinker.com
