This Saturday marks six weeks until April 9, a date that was checked off as a place-holder for the second set of quarterfinals of the Strikeforce World Grand Prix. It is a date that Strikeforce added to its official website, Showtime advertised on television, and Scott Coker confirmed to the media. It is significant since most top fighters request a minimum of six weeks for a solid training camp.
But with time quickly ticking away, it seems less and less likely that the expected tournament fights will take place.
Over the last few days, MMA Fighting has spoken with several sources that indicate while a final decision has yet to be made, evidence is pointing to a delay in the quarterfinal fights pitting Fabricio Werdum vs. Alistair Overeem and Brett Rogers vs. Josh Barnett.
