(Dress it up however you like, this tournament will likely end in disaster for Strikeforce.)
Well it looks like Strikeforce is going ahead with its ill-fated heavyweight tournament after all.
The San Jose, California-based promotion revealed to Sherdog over the weekend three of its planned quarter final bouts.
According to the report, Fedor Emelianenko will look to rebound from the only legitimate loss of his career when he takes on Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva and Andrei Arlovski will attempt to disprove all of his detractors who feel the Belarusian fighter would be better suited to play a henchman in b-movies when he locks horns with Josh Barnett at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey on February 12.
