the average weight Luke Rockhold will not defend the title at Strikeforce on November 3rd. The American, who was scheduled to face Lorenz Larkin, suffered a wrist injury and will not be able to fight.

Interestingly, this is the third consecutive time that an injury has hindered a Strikeforce title fight. First Frank mir suffered an injury and would not compete for the heavyweight title against Daniel Cormier, soon after lightweight Gilbert Melendez was also unable to face Pat Healy and defend his reign in the division.
