Miesha Tate, the top contender for the Strikeforce 135 pound title, has been forced out of her scheduled title bout against Marloes Coenen due to a knee injury suffered in training and will be replaced by Liz Carmouche in the co-main event of next weekend’s card in Columbus, OH.
Undefeated in her pro MMA career, Liz Carmouche has appeared in Strikeforce twice before when she was an alternate in the one night tournament that Tate won to earn the title shot.
The former Marine will face Coenen in a title bout with the 135lb belt on the line, in what will remain the co-main event for the show taking place in Columbus next weekend.
