A light heavyweight showdown has been added to the final Strikeforce show coming in January as former champion Gegard Mousasi has agreed to face Mike Kyle.

Kyle initially reported the bout on Wednesday via YouTube, and additional sources have told MMAWeekly.com that the fight has been verbally agreed to by both fighters with bout agreements expected shortly.

This isn’t the first time Mousasi and Kyle have been matched up either.

Mousasi and Kyle were first scheduled to meet in 2011, but Kyle suffered a broken hand cancelling the bout. They were again paired up, and again the fight was cancelled, this time Mousasi was pulled from the fight for unknown reasons.

Finally, Mousasi and Kyle were set to meet at Strikeforce: Tate vs. Rousey earlier this year, but another injury sidelined Kyle and the fight was delayed.

Now the two light heavyweights have been schedule to face off yet again, with this bout scheduled for Jan 12 in Oklahoma City.

Kyle may be playing with fire if he engages in a stand up war with Gegard. I expect Mousasi to triumph, and arrive in the UFC LHW division sometime in 2013.

Bring Mousasi already for cring out loud. Jones is running out of opponents!

Well Mousasi is fighting... Must be getting pretty cold in hell. I was starting to think we'd never see him again. This fight is going to be pretty one sided.

Dont say that until he actually makes it to the cage

Unless his take down defense is alot better he probably doesn't get a shot at Jones. Not to mention the fact he needs to be a whole lot more active to even be mentioned as a contender.

Never understood why some of these guys went to Strikeforce even if it paid better they fought so infrequently for it to make much sense.
