Veteran middleweight Matt Lindland has signed a three-fight deal with Strikeforce, ending a short free agency period. Lindland informed MMAWeekly.com of the news Thursday afternoon.
Left out of Affliction’s doomed third event, Trilogy, Lindland’s contract was one of the few not transferred to the UFC following the end of the clothing company’s fight promotion business.
Lindland said he expects to fight on Strikeforce’s next major card in October and named Jake Shields, Robbie Lawler, and Cung Le as possible opponents. Lindland and Shields were close to inking a fight at this Saturday’s Carano vs. Cyborg, but concerns over the placement of the bout on the title heavy card scratched the deal.
