Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker confirmed the venue for the Showtime-televised event, likely to be “Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley,” with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) overnight.
Strikeforce never previously has hosted an event in San Diego, though California has been a popular destination for the San Jose-based promotion.
As Coker told MMAjunkie.com on Tuesday, the April 9 event features a championship doubleheader: welterweight titleholder Nick Diaz (24-7 MMA, 5-0 SF) vs. Paul Daley (27-9-2 MMA, 2-0 SF) and lightweight champ Gilbert Melendez (18-2 MMA, 8-1 SF) vs. Tatsuya Kawajiri (27-6-2 MMA, 0-0 SF).
