“Strikeforce St. Louis: Heavy Artillery” preview: Overeem vs. Rogers as Fedor looms

The heavyweights of “Strikeforce St. Louis: Heavy Artillery” have a lot
on their mind.

Co-headliners Alistair Overeem, Brett Rogers, Andrei Arlovski and
Antonio Silva are all fighting for a shot at Fedor Emelianenko – despite
the fact that Overeem currently owns the belt. All but Overeem are
coming off losses.

When he enters tonight’s Showtime-televised event at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, the champion deals his own albatross: he hasn’t defended his title in
nearly three years.
