A light heavyweight tilt between Antwain Britt and Scott Lighty leads five bouts announced for the undercard of Strikeforce “Evolution” on Dec. 19 at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif.
Britt, a competitor on Spike TV’s “The Ultimate Fighter 8,” boasts victories over UFC vets Carmelo Marrero and Antonio Mendes, who Britt knocked out in eight seconds at Shine Fights “Genesis” in May 2009. Five of Britt’s nine victories have come from strikes in the first round.
The undefeated Lighty, who trained with John Hackleman at The Pit, earned a first-round technical knockout from strikes against Mike Cook at Strikeforce “Carano vs. Cyborg” last August. Lighty, 31, was a K-1 Las Vegas Grand Prix finalist in 2005.
Also on the undercard, Deep and Dream veteran Daisuke Nakamura will meet local draw Bryan Travers in a welterweight bout. Travers, making his promotional debut, has won his last six appearances, including victories against former IFL standout John Gunderson and Strikeforce veteran Jeremiah Metcalf. Travers’ only loss came to UFC competitor Nate Loughran in 2006.
The five-bout main card, which features a recently confirmed middleweight bout between former EliteXC middleweight champion Robbie Lawler and South African Olympic wrestling alternate Trevor Prangley, airs live on Showtime at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
