LoloheaMaheIn the STRIKEFORCE Challengers main event on March 26, 2010, the 32-year-old Lavar Johnson (13-3) will square off with undefeated UPNUP Heavyweight Champion Lolohea Mahe (6-0-1) of Hawaii.  Johnson’s effort will mark a miraculous comeback after he was gunned down and nearly killed by Central Valley area gang members on July 4, 2009 while attending a family barbeque near his home in Madera.

The 6 foot 4 inch, 250 pound Johnson, a father of two young boys, lost a cousin in the attack and spent one month in hospital care.  While clinging to his life, he lost approximately 60 pounds.

Following months of physical rehab, Johnson was cleared by a physician to return to training in Fresno.  Johnson’s start will be his first since he scored a crushing 18 second KO on Carl Seumanutafa in STRIKEFORCE Challengers action at Save Mart Center on May 15, 2009.
