Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum, Will Winner Eventually Rule UFC HW Division
Bleacher Report’s Dean Stone:
Now that the cream of the UFC heavyweight division has risen to the top, MMA fans can turn their attention to the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix tournament quarterfinal fights this Saturday.
The long-awaited Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum fight card should answer a lot of questions for many fans who are wondering if the eventual winner of the Grand Prix could go on to dominate the top UFC heavyweights once Zuffa begins to incorporate the Strikeforce heavyweight talent under the UFC brand.
Fabricio Werdum is the one fighter in the tournament who is capable of showing us how the Strikeforce talent compares to the big men in the UFC.
Werdum has recently been in against the best fighters in both promotions, and how he fairs against Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem should not only set the tone for how the rest of the Grand Prix will likely play out, but it should also offer MMA fans an idea of how the eventual tournament winner might stack up against either Cain Velasquez or Junior dos Santos.
