Despite previous reports that Lyle Beerbohm could be a possibility to replace Josh Thomson in a bout against Gilbert Melendez at the upcoming April 11th Strkeforce event, it seems as if Rodrigo Damm has recently been chosen as the late replacement for the former Strikeforce lightweight champion.
The Fight Network was the first to report the possibility of the match up this afternoon, and FiveOuncesOfPain.com has since been able to confirm the bout through Strikeforce V.P. of Communications, Mike Afromowitz.
FYI Gilbert is a MONSTER right now. He has never been in this good of shape in his career. He has smashed just about everyone he has been training with. He broke two ribs on one of his coaches who weighs 190lbs.
PISSED!!!! Beerbohm is 9-0 andd finished everyone and has sick wrestling and scrambling. Same excact fight style as GIL. Why would they not have 9-0 Fancy Pants (who is 21-0 lifetime, including amatuer bouts) fight Gil. PISSED! Damm is coming off a 1st rd loss! Lyle is coming off a 1st round stoppage over a tough undefeated Brazilian Rafaello Traitor. PISSED
