Top rated Brazilian light heavyweight, Marcos Rogerio “Pezao” de Lima has revealed that he’s not only signed a multi-fight deal with California based promotion, Strikeforce but that he’ll square off with heavy handed veteran, Mike Kyle on September 10th.De Lima confirmed the news to Sherdog.com earlier today, saying he’d spoken with Strikeforce and they’d matched him up with Kyle.
Kyle hasn’t been seen since he was stopped by heavyweight grand-prix semi-finalist, Antonio “Big Foot” Silva in the second round last December. He was due to face Mousasi on the April card only for injury to rule him out of the fight.
De Lima is currently 8-0 in his professional MMA career with six wins coming via TKO and one via submission. His last win was an impressive unanimous decision victory over former WEC champion, Paulo Filho.
