Strikeforce's debut in Las Vegas, Nevada comes to the Pearl at the Palms Casino on July 22, and the night's main card is now set. The organization confirmed four fights for the night's Strikeforce Challengers 17 broadcast on Showtime on Tuesday, with tickets for the event already on sale. Headlined by a rubber match between Bobby Voelker and Roger Bowling, the main card also features Sarah Kaufman's Strikeforce return against Liz Carmouche, a heavyweight bout between Lavar Johnson and Devin Cole and a middleweight bout between Adlan Amagov and Ronald "The Choir Boy" Stallings. "The rubber match between Voelker and Bowling will not only settle the score between the two, but it will also help determine another rising contender in the welterweight division," Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said Tuesday. "This event on July 22 is loaded with potentially explosive fights and we're excited to kick off our relationship with the Palms with such a great card." Tickets for the event are on sale now, ranging from $50-$150. Tickets can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com, the box office at the Pearl at the Palms or at all Ticketmaster locations.
