Striker Cheick Kongo was rumored as a replacement, but that proved to be an April Fools joke:
Strikeforce’s PR guy Mike Afromowitz just told me that the Kongo vs. Mousasi match-up report is “not true.”
Apparently an April Fool’s prank RT @CageInformerJY Then how’d it end up on Cheick’s official FB page?
