Lyle Beerbohm will return to Strikeforce to meet Pat Healy. The two will square off on Feb. 18 at Strikeforce Challengers 14.
Multiple media outlets have reported the match up, though it has not been officially announced by the promotion.
Despite having a Strikeforce contract since 2009, Beerbohm has only fought for the promotion twice. He made his promotional debut at Strikeforce Challengers 2 and defeated UFC veteran Duane Ludwig. In his second Strikeforce fight, Beerbohm scored a split-decision victory over former Cage Rage and Shooto champion Vitor “Shaolin” Ribeiro.
Healy defeated Ryan Ford with a surprising armbar to claim to MFC welterweight title at MFC 17. He returned and kept his belt with a five-round decision victory over Ford. Since then, Healy has gone 3-2 highlighted by a win over Bryan Travers in his Strikeforce debut. In his last fight, former Strikeforce champion Josh Thomson submitted Healy.
Neither Strikeforce nor Showtime have announced Strikeforce Challengers 14. However, ESPN reported that the card will likely take place at the Cedar Park Center in Austin, Texas.
