NEW YORK — With its anticipated Heavyweight Grand Prix tournament just days away from beginning, Strikeforce and its emboldened CEO Scott Coker are still entertaining the possibility of hosting its April event in Japan.

After a press conference for Saturday’s show to be held at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey, Coker said he planned to continue working to make the Japan event a reality, though time is running short.

“I think I’m going to give it one more week, and then if not, we’ll make an arrangement here,” Coker said.

Coker, who put the odds of a Japan event as “50/50,” also discussed states that could possibly hold the event if Japan falls through.
