As usual, Fedor Emelianenko will have to slay a giant.
Hoping to return to the win column after his first loss in nearly a decade, the legendary Russian will be outweighed by well over 30 pounds when he gets in the cage to face Antonio Silva at Saturday night’s Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Silva event.
Silva weighed in at 264 pounds while Emelianenko checked in at 230 for their main event matchup at the weigh-ins, held at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Fedor Emelianenko vs Antonio Silva As Bas Rutten said on Inside MMA, this is not an easy fight for Fedor and I agree. However, Mike Kyle was 1 clean punch away from finishing off Silva in their recent fight. Fedor will not likely make the same mistake. I lean towards Fedor here, but Silva will […]
As Bas Rutten said on Inside MMA, this is not an easy fight for Fedor and I agree. However, Mike Kyle was 1 clean punch away from finishing off Silva in their recent fight. Fedor will not likely make the same mistake. I lean towards Fedor here, but Silva will be handful just in the size department alone. I don’t think it will be easy, but Fedor will catch Silva because his head is a large target and Fedor has pinpoint accuracy.
Arlovski is the faster more technical striker. In fact much more. Kharitonov is the russian bear and swings like it. He swings tight inside hooks and if he connects its trouble for Arlovski who has had trouble against heavy big punchers such as Tim Sylvia, Brett Rogers, and Fedor Emelianenko. If Arlovski can execute the gameplan he probably wanted to do against Brett Rogers he should be able to beat Kharitonov easily.
Could be the best fight of the night. I’m leaning towards Lavar, but Del Rosario is clearly the more talented fighter. I just have this feeling the toughness and power of Johnson will get him the victory.
Chad Griggs.
Ray Sefo. Overeem is coming off a monster layoff.

Of all the fighters in the Strikeforce Heayweight Grand Prix field, none might be more unfamiliar to American audiences than Sergei Kharitonov, a Russian airborne trooper who has fought just once in the U.S., a victory over Mike Russow in the penultimate event for the PRIDE promotion.
Kharitonov, though, boasts a long and fairly distinguished record dating back more than a decade. In fact, he has wins over tournament entrants Alistair Overeem and Fabricio Werdum on his resume. Among the eight-man field, however, he is considered a long shot to win, with the second longest odds, ahead of only Brett Rogers.
To Kharitonov (17-4), who faces Andrei Arlovski in a first-round match on Saturday, that’s perfectly acceptable, even preferable.

While small-scale gambling on the NCAA basketball tournament is something of an American tradition, I’ve found it’s much harder to get my friends and neighbors involved in a Strikeforce heavyweight Grand Prix betting pool.
That’s because a) all my friends and neighbors know that I follow this stuff for a living, while they’re still wondering why Kimbo Slice didn’t get included in the bracket, and b) the lack of seeding means you kind of have to actually know something about each fighter in order to effectively pick a winner.
Thankfully, online oddsmakers have handicapped Saturday night’s opening round for us, so we might as well sift through the betting lines and see if there aren’t any egregious errors. Won’t you join me below?
