“Smokin” Joey Villasenor (26-6) vs. Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos (16-12) – 3X5 – 185Lbs

Lyly Beebohm is 12-0 as an amateur, making his professional MMA debut. He is a well touted fighter who has been given a great deal of respect by the Strikeforce management. I’m sure there are plenty excited to see Nick Thompson Esq. returning to the cage, and the event of Evangelista Santos vs. Joey Villasenor should be awesome.
