Jay Hieron vs. Joe Riggs targeted for “Strikeforce: Miami” in January
By MMAEdition on Dec 31, 2009 with Comments 0
With his welterweight title shot on hold and with a potential bout with Marius Zaromskis ultimately scrapped, Jay Hieron (18-4 MMA, 1-0 SF) instead is expected to meet veteran Joe Riggs (32-11 MMA, 3-2 SF) next month at “Strikeforce: Miami.”
Sources close to the event told MMAjunkie.com the fight is in the works, but bout agreements have not been signed, and the Florida State Boxing Commission must first approve the matchup.
“Strikeforce: Miami” takes place Jan. 30 at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla., and airs on Showtime.
