Well rounded lightweight veteran, Pat Healy has become the man to step up to the plate and face ultra-talented promotional newcomer, Maximo Blanco on the September 10th Strikeforce show in Cincinnati, Ohio, replacing the injured Josh Thomson. According to a FiveOuncesOfPain.com bout agreements have been signed by all parties involved, news which was confirmed by a source close to the situation.
Healy has been steadily climbing the lightweight division’s ranks after being derailed by Thomson around a year ago. Back-to-back wins over Lyle Beerbohm and Eric Wisely have put him in a solid position in the division.
Blanco hasn’t seen action since last December’s Sengoku event in Japan where he picked up a unanimous decision win over South Korea’s Won Sik Park. He’ll enter the Strikeforce cage with an 8-2-1 record overall
