Strikeforce's Columbus show on March 3 is taking shape quickly, as the organization officially announced four different fights for the card coming to the Nationwide Arena. However, it won't look exactly like it was expected to, as Daniel Cormier won't be ready in time for that card, taking his Heavyweight Grand Prix finals bout with Josh Barnett off the card.
Instead, the headliner is likely to be the officially announced Miesha Tate vs. Ronda Rousey bout for the Strikeforce Women's Bantamweight Championship. The fight was reported earlier this week but not confirmed as official until Saturday's Rockhold vs. Jardine event.
In addition to that bout, the previously reported lightweight fight between K.J. Noons and Josh Thomson is official, and two new bouts were added to the card on the broadcast as well.
Sarah Kaufman will take on Alexis Davis in a fight that could put her next in line to fight the winner of Tate-Rousey, and Paul Daley will make his first return to Strikeforce since suffering consecutive losses in April and July of last year to take on Kizuo Misaki.
