    I'm excited :)

    Your thoughts.

    My thoughts are that it is insane to put the strong guys on one side so they end up facing someone weak or uninspiring. Werdum vs Overeem should be swapped with Barnett vs Rogers. It might be to avoid a Rogers vs Fedor rematch but then it could be an Arlovski vs Rogers rematch!

    Is this going to be 2 fights in one night for the Semi's and Finals? Im expecting proper GP. Not one fight a night bollocks. And i want 15 minute rounds with Vale Tudo rules.

    Great that Strikeforce have put this together, or are trying to at least. I agree with the TS about the brackets. It would make more sense to switch it up a bit. Then again Josh Barnett in the final wouldn't be too bad I don't think. I think it's probably expecting a bit too much to ask of Strikeforce to match up the bracket well; we should consider ourselves lucky they have managed to get this together at all.

    Its spread over three events. They'd struggle to get commission approval for two fights in one night (they only barely got away with that for the women's tournament)

    cant wait! they should have it so overeem and fedor can meet in the final but if fedor and barnett meet it would be perfect as well. hope fedor wins and retires

    Everybody seems to be forgetting that fedor only has one fight left on his contract, M-1 will turn this tourney into a farce with contractual negotiations.

    Apparently he has is on the verge of signing for a 4-5 fight extension. Either way its not a proper GP in my eyes. Just a tourny.

    He would need to sign it before it started then, it would be folly for strikeforce to not have him signed up.

    I love how one side is absolutely **** and pointless.

    Werdum should be on the other side, no question.

    “We are thrilled to have come to a long-term agreement with Fedor and M-1 GLOBAL,” said STRIKEFORCE CEO Scott Coker. “To have the greatest MMA fighter of all-time put his legacy on the line in a single-elimination tournament will truly captivate MMA fans worldwide.
