Strikeforce: Heavy Artillery on May 15th in St. Louis is coming up and Strikeforce has finally announced the the prelims for the card (maybe the main card will be finalized soon). But fight I'm excited to see involves Francisco "Kiko" France. 

Kiko France is a Brazilian Jiujitsu black belt hailing from American Top Team Missouri. All four of his fights have ended in a first round submission, the first three being arm-triangles. When asked why he favors the arm-triangle he laughingly said that they "just give it to him". His longest fight has lasted a mere 82 seconds.

France is fighting Lee "Manimal" Brousseau. Brousseau hails from Illinois fighting out with War Room MMA. His record is 4-1. All 4 of his wins ended in the 1st round. One win by KO, 2 by TKO, and one by guillotine. His one loss was by submission to Greg Lofink, whom he has fought twice and on the second meeting TKOed in 18 seconds.

In France's last fight, he was able to dismantle the tractor. Will he be able to cage the Manimal?

 

For any of those interested, links to their fights are after the jump.
