Estevan Payan-Michael Bravo Re-Booked for Strikeforce: Marquardt vs. Saffiedine

Estevan Payan and Michael Bravo were supposed to fight at the cancelled November 3 Strikeforce event, but the bout has been rebooked for Strikeforce: Marquardt vs. Saffiedine to take place on January 12. Payan (13-3) is riding a six-fight winning streak, though when he gets into the cage it will have been more than a year since he last saw action. Meanwhile, Bravo (7-3) will be making his Strikeforce debut on what will likely be the promotion’s last event. All seven of Bravo’s wins have involved strike-based stoppages.
