According to MMAWeekly, a welterweight shootout between Paul Daley and Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos will go down at “Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Henderson.”

“Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Henderson” takes place inside the Sears Center in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.
Showtime will broadcast the main bouts at 10 PM ET/PT.
