This afternoon,  Jake Shields tweeted a picture of the injury that led to the cancellation of this weekends Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Healy event.

Late last night, Strikeforce officials announced that Saturday’s Strikeforce card was cancelled. “When SHOWTIME informed us that it would not be airing the event, we made the difficult decision to cancel Saturday’s card in Sacramento,” STRIKEFORCE CEO Scott Coker said. “Without a television partner, we simply could not move forward with this event. We wish Gilbert a speedy recovery and will work diligently and quickly to reschedule the fighters affected by this news on upcoming cards.”
