It’s not just about winning the upcoming Strikeforce heavyweight tournament for Andrei Arlovski. It’s about getting a little payback.

So while his first task is to get past the tough Sergei Kharitonov, whom he meets Feb. 12 in the quarterfinals of the the tournament, there are a few scores he’d like to settle.
