Awesome trailer. I'm still surprised that the 3 best guys (in my opinion anyway) are all on the same side of the bracket.
Scott explained this at length already. Basically Fedor and Silva are ready to fight already so they go first. Werdum and Overeem wants to fight each other, Werdum was injured and will not be ready on time so he gets Overeem who will also need to recuperate from his K1 and recent MMA bout.
****in A!!!!!! This is the equivalent of boxing puting on a super 6 with the welterweights Cant wait!!!!!
Best thing since the Pride Openweight tournament in '06??? So excited about this. Fedor vs Overeem is the fight I've wanted to see more than any other for quite a long time now. Hope it happens.
Man this is so cool I love how Showtime keeps giving us all these tournaments for free. I love how its setup to its oh lets save a potential Fedor vs Overeem-Werdum matchup for the final. Well while they deserve to be the favorites anything can happen and if you seperated them all 3 could potentially lose in the 1st round. Werdum has already tapped Fedor and Overeem he deserves that title shot more then anyone and hes getting it round 1 vs Overeem thats awesome. No doubt Fedor, BigFoot, Overeem and Werdum is the strong bracket but I like how the 2nd group is built. No doubt those 4 guys are very talented fighters but they all have something to bounce back from I think it gives them a great chance to rebuild their careers. Rogers was hot after the quick Arlovski KO and even a decent performence vs Fedor but Overeem totally destroyed him and hes been almost forgot about since, Arlovski is a former UFC Champ and beat alot of top guys but is coming off 3 hard loses, Barnett I think we all can agree could very well win this thing he is that damn good but he has the steroid controversy surrounding him its the time to rebuild that image and then there is Khraitnov very high touted in the Pride days but only 4 fights in the nearly 4 years since Pride was bought.
****inggggggggggggggggggggg greaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttt if this happens like that, then it's the best thing everrrrrrrrrrrrr but will this be all on different dates? or each round on one day?
Great trailer. Hopefully Strikeforce will gain a bit more profile with this to people who've never watched it before.
Ok just watched this again and i take it back ( Anyone else felt like this was a Gorilla Production ) Im ****ing amped for this! I might even go out in the street right now and just punch someone in the face! GP HURRRAH!! If only they could make it 15 minute rounds with 3 fights in one night, with Lenne Hardt as the Master of Ceremonys, and Vale Tudo rules and id surely die a happy man.
I think ALL these guys have a legit shot at winning the whole thing. this is gonna be great, I don't even care who wins to be honest (well pulling abit for Fedor) but as long as we get a few of the potential matches /rematches nobody can complain.
