Strikeforce's final event on Saturday will have a slightly different feel to it, as veteran play-by-play broadcaster Mauro Ranallo will remain in Canada tending to his sick parents this weekend, according to a report from MMAJunkie.com
In his absence, AXS TV's Inside MMA reporter Ron Kruck will run play-by-play for the Showtime broadcast, alongside longtime Showtime commentators Frank Shamrock and Pat Miletich.
Saturday's event takes place from the Chesapeake Energy Center in Oklahoma City, headlined by the Strikeforce Welterweight Championship bout between Nate Marquardt and Tarec Saffiedine. The card will serve as the last-ever Strikeforce event, with much of the roster heading to the UFC after the weekend.
