Former UFC welterweight title contender “Diesel” Joe Riggs (27-10) will replace “Mr. International” Shonie Carter (41-17-7) versus Luke Stewart (5-1) in San Jose 27 June at Strikeforce.
The fight will occur at the catchweight of 178-pounds.
Carter withdrew from the fight with Stewart this week with a hand injury.
Riggs will return from back surgery for an injury suffered during a slam that forced Riggs to tap to Cory Devela (9-2) in February.
Stewart will look to bounce back from a loss to Tiki Ghosn (10-7) in March, the first of Stewart’s pro career.
