Although moving along without Alistair Overeem, the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix will continue with its semifinal matchups this Saturday.
With Overeem’s departure to the UFC, Daniel Cormier has stepped in for a fight with Antonio Silva. The winner of that bout will meet the victor of Saturday’s main event between Josh Barnett and Sergei Kharitonov.
In what may be the deepest card in Strikeforce history, this event also features a title fight between Strikeforce Middleweight Champion Ronaldo Souza and Luke Rockhold, in addition to a light heavyweight tilt between former Strikeforce Champion Muhammed Lawal and Roger Gracie.
Let’s take a closer look at each of the main card fights.
