Strikeforce: "Los Angeles" is officially set to go down as all but one (Robbie Lawler) of the 12 participants competing on tomorrow night's event successfully made weight on their first attempt earlier today at the Crowne Plaza in Continental Ball Room Salon C in Los Angeles, California.
The event takes place tomorrow, June 16, at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles with the event's main card to be televised on Showtime beginning at 10 p.m. EST.
Headlining the event is a 195-pound catchweight bout between hard-hitting slugger Robbie Lawler and former UFC light-heavyweight title contender Renato "Babalu" Sobral. Lawler struggled making weight, as he failed to hit the mark on his first two attempts. He weighed 195.5 lbs on his first two tries but made the 195-lb weight limit on his third attempt.
Sobral had no problems making weight, as he came in under the 195-pound weight limit tipping the scales at 193.5 lbs.
In the co-main event, DREAM welterweight champion Marius Zaramoskis will look to rebound from a loss suffered in his Strikeforce debut when he meets brawler Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos. Zaramoski weighed in at 169.5 pounds, while Santos came in at 171 lbs.
Other bouts on the main card include a middleweight bout between rising contender Tim Kennedy and veteran Trevor Prangley. Also, former EliteXC lightweight champion K.J. Noons makes his Strikeforce debut against Conor Heun.
