Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza has a new opponent for the March 3 Strikeforce "Tate vs. Rousey" event in Columbus, Ohio, as the organization on Wednesday announced that Alaskan MMA vet Bristol Marunde will step in on short notice.
Marunde makes his Strikeforce debut having won nine of his last ten fights, and he holds a 15-6 career record overall. He is the current Middleweight Champion of the Super Cage Combat promotion, having defeated former UFC fighter Jay Silva for that belt last November.
Souza returns to action for the first time since losing his Strikeforce Middleweight Championship by decision to Luke Rockhold last September. That loss snapped a five fight unbeaten streak, including a perfect 4-0 mark inside the Strikeforce cage.
