I don't know who's been following but Strikeforce are holding a 8 man Heavyweight Tournament with the following fighters;

Fedor Emelianenko
Alistair Overeem
Fabricio Werdum
Andrei Arlovski
Sergei Kharitonov
Antonio Silva
Josh Barnett
Brett Rogers

Tonight will be the start of the tournament with Fedor vs Silva and Arlovski vs Kharitonov. Should be a great tournament, the other 4 fighters will fight on the 9th April.

thank you!!!

[Babak agha]

you're welcome.., however I don't know how you'll feel after seeing the fight.

[ShahHouman]

arlovski is done in my opinion and fedor, ive barely seen the dude fight, he may be bad but i dont care how bad you are, if you barely fight then you're not all that in my book

Fedor just doesn't look motivated anymore. Its a shame to see a champion demise like this!

^He did all he could not to get submitted or knocked out. So I guess he really was trying. He is just getting old and like Shahhouman said he barely fights any more, probably because of his management who wanted him to keep his streak going.
Anyways he still did a OK job in the first round, but he went down to easily in the second. And when a 60 pounds heavier guy is on top of you, there's lil you can do. He really isn't a heavyweight in the first place and now he's fighting against this huge heavyweight. I guess he would've get in trouble with Overeem as well.

Anyways it seems that he has retired after that game, so no more Fedor for now on.

I am loving strikeforce a lot more then UFC these days....Alistair Overeem should win this in my opinion he is a absolute beast.
