    Strikeforce adds heavyweight contest between Ray Sefo and Kevin Jordan to Sept. 25 event

    Strikeforce has officially added a second contest to its "Strikeforce Challengers: Kennedy vs. Cummings" event on Sept. 25, as heavyweights Ray Sefo (1-0) and Kevin Jordan (11-7) will meet on the evening's main card.

    Strikeforce Director of Communications Mike Afromowitz today confirmed the addition to the event to MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).

    Headlined by a bout between middleweight prospects Tim Kennedy and Zak Cummings, the Showtime-broadcast event takes place at SpiritBank Event Center in Bixby, Okla.

    Sefo, a 14-year professional Muay Thai veteran and multiple-time world champion in kickboxing, will be fighting for just the second time under MMA rules. The 38-year-old Xtreme Couture fighter made his MMA debut in 2005, defeating Korean Min Soo Kim by knockout.

    Sefo owns K-1 rules wins over MMA notables Hong Man Choi, Melvin Manhoef, Gary Goodridge, Marvin Eastman, Bob Sapp, Gilbert Yvel and Mark Hunt.

    Jordan is best known for his two-fight stint in the UFC, including a 2005 loss to Gabriel Gonzaga. That bout, marked by extended periods of inactivity, was highlighted by a Gonzaga Superman punch that left Jordan knocked out with just 21 seconds remaining in the bout.

    The loss to Gonzaga also marked Jordan's exit from the UFC. The 38-year-old has gone 3-3 since that time, including a July decision win over UFC pioneer Patrick Smith.

    He hasn't tried in kickboxing for 4 or 5 years so maybe he just needed a change.
