Eight heavyweights. One tournament. Three steps to glory.
Not since the 2006 PRIDE open-weight grand prix have so many top-level
heavyweights been in one place. The Strikeforce heavyweight grand prix, a
three-stage, single-elimination tournament that kicks off Saturday at
the IZOD Center in East Rutherford, N.J., could arguably crown the
baddest man in the planet.
Two quarterfinal matchups feature a David vs. Goliath matchup (at least
on paper) when Fedor Emelianenko meets Antonio Silva, and Andrei Arlovski looks for
redemption against Sergei Kharitonov.
