Mousasi vs. Kyle Confirmed for Strikeforce - Tate vs. Rousey - MMA Combat

Former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion Gegard Mousasi will meet American Kickboxing Academy product, Mike Kyle, in the co-main event at Strikeforce - Tate vs. Rousey, March 3, 2012, in Columbus, Ohio; Kyle 'tweeted' news of the bout Monday and will look to stifle the Armenian's momentum as Mousasi has gone undefeated in his previous five outings since losing his title via unanimous decision to Muhammed "King" Lawal in April of 2010.

Mousasi (32-3-2) most recently appeared December 17, 2011, at Strikeforce - Melendez vs. Masvidal where he out-pointed rising star Ovince St. Preux over three rounds of grinding action. The Holland-based striker has finished twenty-eight of his thirty-seven career opponents inside the distance with eighteen [T]KOs on record. "The Dreamcatcher" himself has not been stopped since August of 2006 when he was submitted by Akihiro Gono.

Kyle (19-8-1) is admired for his aggressive, hard-hitting style that has seen him pick up twelve [T]KOs in nineteen career wins. "MAK" was undefeated in six consecutive appearances from December 2009 through November 2010 until he was TKO'd by Antonio Silva one month later in his seventh bout in twelve months. Most recently, Kyle defeated Marcos Rogerio de Lima at Strikeforce - Barnett vs. Kharitonov in September of 2011.

Strikeforce - Tate vs. Rousey will go live from Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, and feature a women's welterweight title scrap between budding rivals Ronda Rousey and promotion champion Meisha Tate. Also competing on the main-card will be Paul Daley when he battles Kazuo Misaki, while former lightweight king Josh Thomson will lock horns with K.J. Noons.
