Melvin Manhoef Possibly in Strikeforce Middleweight Tournament

Melvin Manhoef's career apparently just involves tournaments at this point. Manhoef will be fighting in the upcoming DREAM Light Heavyweight tournament of sorts on July 10, and if that wasn't enough, it looks like Manhoef will be appearing in Strikeforce's Middleweight tournament. As early as August 21 in Houston. MMAJunkie talked with Coker;

Scott Coker, the promotion's CEO, told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today that he plans to invite fearsome striker Melvin Manhoef (24-7-1 MMA, 0-1 SF) to the field, which is expected to begin Aug. 21 at "Strikeforce: Houston."

Manhoef, a K-1 and DREAM veteran, made his U.S. debut in January at "Strikeforce: Miami" and battered former EliteXC middleweight champion Robbie Lawler before he caught a punch that knocked him out cold in the first round.

The Amsterdam resident detests going the distance; only two of his 32 professional MMA fights have involved the judges. Despite the price his record pays for his wild style, he has won legions of fans stateside and overseas.
