Strikeforce Challengers: 'Villasenor vs Cyborg' weigh in results

by Bryan Levick on Jun 18, 2009 9:38 PM EDT

Strikeforce held the weigh-in event today for their Challenger Series which is scheduled for Friday night (June 19) and broadcast live on Showtime from the ShoWare Center in Kent, Washington.

The Washington State Athletic Commission does not allow the usual one pound difference in weight for non-title bouts as most other states do. Strikeforce attempted to alleviate any problems by including catchweight stipulations in the event that any of the fighters did not make the necessary weight.

With that being said, two bouts have been changed to a catchweight. Jorge Gurgel vs. Conor Heun was originally to be contested at 155 lbs but has now been changed to a 160 lb limit.

Justin Davis vs. Dennis Hallman was originally scheduled to be contested at 185 lbs but was bumped up to a 195 lb catchweight bout. Davis is a late replacement for Cedric Marks but was not penalized for missing the weight and will still be allowed to fight. There were several undercard fights forced to change to catchweight bouts as well.

Here are the complete weigh in results for Strikeforce Challenger Series:

Main Card:

185 lbs.: Joey Villasenor (184.5) vs. Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos (185)
185 lbs.: Tim Kennedy (184) vs. Nick Thompson (185)
(CW) 160 lbs.: Jorge Gurgel (157.5) vs. Conor Heun (158.5)
135 lbs.: Shayna Baszler (134.5) vs. Sarah Kaufman (134.5)
185 lbs.: Cory Devela (184) vs. Luke Rockhold (183.5)

Under Card:

(CW) 195 lbs.: Justin Davis (200)* vs. Dennis Hallman (191.5)
145 lbs.: Brian Caraway (145) vs. Alex Zuniga (144)
160 lbs.: Lyle Beerbohm (160) vs. Duane Ludwig (159.5)
(CW) 186 lbs.: Travis Doerge (184) vs. Landon Showalter (185.5)
(CW) 156 lbs.: Len Bentley (155.5) vs. Marques Daniels (154.5)
(CW) 171 lbs.: Steve Hadsel (170) vs. Taylor Roberts (170.5)

*Davis was not penalized for missing weight because he was a last minute replacement.

Looking forward to Kennedy-Thomson, Going for The Goat. Should be cool to see Heun fight a real fighter other than a bully. Devila has some solid wrestling.

Can’t get behind your hate of Kaufman. That girl can throw. Wins via TKO IMO. Cyborg cold catches Smoking Joey, but the other predictions are on point.
