Interest in the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix is not solely limited to fans. The fighters, too, will be keeping an eye on the field of eight over the next few months. Even the fighters in the UFC.
Among those is Urijah Faber, the ex-WEC featherweight champ who will be making his UFC debut as a bantamweight at UFC 128.
Faber — a student of the game who calls Japanese fighter Kazushi Sakuraba his favorite fighter of all time — was recently asked about his pick to win the tournament, and he went with the legendary Russian mixed martial artist Fedor Emelianenko.
