After his lackluster win over Fabricio Werdum at Strikefroce: Dallas, Alistair Overeem has moved on to the semifinals of the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix, where he will meet Antonio Silva.
Silva earned his spot in the semifinals with an upset victory over MMA legend Fedor Emelianenko. The victory catapulted Silva into the mix as a top-10 heavyweight in the world and earned him long-overdue recognition from MMA fans around the world.
The winner of this fight between Overeem and Silva will move onto the tournament finals, where they will meet the winner of another semifinal matchup between Josh Barnett and Sergei Kharitonov.
Without further delay, let’s take a look at how these two heavyweight behemoths match up against one another.
