Strikeforce is planning a welterweight bout between “Bang” Duane Ludwig (17-8) and “New York Bad Ass” Phil Baroni (13-10) for early 2009, reported MMA Junkie Sunday.
Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said, “We’re going to try to put [Ludwig] and Baroni together. Since they’re so close in weight now, we should definitely put that fight together at 170 [pounds]. They should fight either in Denver or Seattle.”
Ludwig TKO’d “The Squeeze” Sam Morgan (19-12) in the first round at Strikeforce’s last event 3 October.
Baroni was scheduled to fight on the same card, but he suffered a cut requiring stitches during his unanimous decision win over Olaf Alfonso (7-9) the previous week and was pulled.
