A middleweight showdown between strikers Robbie Lawler (18-5 MMA, 1-1 SF) and Strikeforce newcomer Melvin Manhoef (24-6-1 MMA, 0-0 SF) will likely take place later this month at “Strikeforce: Miami.”

With just a little more than three weeks to the show, Strikeforce officials have announced just a few matchups for the card.

FiveOuncesofPain.com first reported the Lawler vs. Manhoef fight as likely. Lawler’s agent, Monte Cox, told MMAjunkie.com it’s possible but said he hasn’t received official confirmation or a bout agreement.
