Pride and K-1 veteran Bob Sapp will make his return to the fight world as the event's headline bout. Plus former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight title holder Maurice Smith will take on six- time world kickboxing champion Rick Roufus.
Sapp has not been in a mixed martial arts bout since defeating Kim Jong Wang two years ago in South Korea. Following a six-year hiatus, Smith defeated fellow UFC veteran Marco Ruas as part of the International Fight League event in Chicago May 2007. Roufus will be making his MMA debut against Smith.
The bouts will transpire Feb 23 at the 23,00 seat Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington. The ten fight event is billed as "Strikeforce At The Dome." and will be presented by BodogFight.
