The Strikeforce extravaganza will be headlined by a showdown between heavyweight knockout artists David "Tank" Abbott and Paul "The Headhunter" Buentello. Lightweight stars Josh "The Punk" Thomson and Duane "Bang" Ludwig will do battle; heavyweights Wesley "Cabbage" Correira and Ruben "Warpath" Villareal are scheduled to square off.

Bobby Southworth, a veteran of the premiere season of Spike TV's The Ultimate Fighter, will face Anthony "A-Train" Ruiz. Jason "Live Wire" Von Flue, a veteran of the second season of the Spike reality series, will battle undefeated Eric Wray.

The incredibly popular BodogFight series is available in 43 million homes across America on Men's Outdoor and Recreation, DISH Network, Comcast, Cox, Time Warner and online at BodogFight's official web site, BodogFight.com .
