Three members of team Ambition, including Strikeforce veteran Brett "Da Grim" Rogers, are heading north to fight in a big show in Canada.
Rogers, Jeremy "The Hawk" Hamilton and "Thrilling" Pat Schilling all have signed on to compete as part of the W-1 card in Halifax, Nova Scotia, at the Halifax Forum on Oct. 23.
The major card features several veterans of big-time promotions, and it will be broadcast on HDNet.
Rogers (10-2) will fight in the main event against Ruben "Warpath" Villareal (18-18-3).
Da Grim is fighting for the first time since his TKO loss to Alistair Overeem in a fight for the Strikeforce heavyweight title in May. Before that, Rogers suffered a second-round loss to Fedor Emelianenko in November.
Rogers holds a victory over former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski.
Rogers' coach and Ambition front man Mike Reilly said his heavyweight slugger has been given permission by Strikeforce to fight outside of the organization. He is still under contract with Strikeforce.
"They were gracious enough to let us fight outside of the organization, and we're very thankful for that," Reilly
