MMAjunkie.com confirmed late Saturday night with Strikeforce officials that despite concerns, Brazilian veteran Carina Damm was able to secure a visa necessary for travel to the U.S., and she will compete in Strikeforce’s upcoming four-woman tournament.
Strikeforce officials had previously announced that a backup competitor was on standby, but Sherdog.com first reported that Damm’s spot will not need to be filled.
Damm joins Hitomi Akano, Maiju Kujala and Miesha Tate in the single-night bracket. The tournament crowns a contender to the women’s 135-pound title currently held by Sarah Kaufman, who next defends her belt against Marloes Coenen at a future Strikeforce event.
