Emelianenko-Silva, HW Tourney Slated for Feb. 12

[Liquidrob]

Best HW tournament ever on paper

love the reem vs werdum fight because that's the key fight from the fedor lose and the true championship lineage, don't like fedor in that bracket though, should be on the other side for a potential fedor vs reem/werdum final

Don't know about that...

Nothing else comes close, single fights can't match a grand prix

If it was a single night tournament, I'd probably agree with you.

But this is going to last the entire year, probably end around Thanksgiving time.

It's awesome, but I wouldn't say it's the #1 story since whatever from Pride.

A matchup between heavyweights Ray Sefo (2-0 MMA, 1-0 SF) and Valentijn Overeem (28-25 MMA, 0-0 SF) is targeted for the supporting cast of Strikeforce's recently announced eight-man heavyweight tournament.

Sources close to negotiations today told that contracts have not been signed, but verbal agreements are in place. An announcement on the fight is expected soon.

[Kuzzy Powers]

Ray Sefo? Thats kinda cool I guess. Noone cares about Oldereem.

Wheres Kharitonov?

He'll be fighting Arlovski (possibly in March)

If they pull this off it should define the number 1 hw, even with biased rankings, 4 out of the 8 are top ten, barnett was number 2 before the PED bust, he is a legit top hw, plus no minowas or zulus, this is the most legit hw gp in mma history

[Kuzzy Powers]

If ZULU joins I buy all of VSN a round, happily.

[Kuzzy Powers]

VSN needs to chill on the fucking double posts.. lagging piece of shit.

[Liquidrob]

I read that SDR vs Lavar Johnson might be an alternate bout

Yes, the 2 reserve bouts are Sefo/Overeem & Rosario/Johnson.

Don't count your lucky coins yet, a lot has to go right for this to do well. For example, if Overeem makes it to the finals...will he put it on ice to go back to K-1?

I hope it works out well though. Will be fun.

The winner of this is the #1 heavyweight in the world, no dispute can be taken seriously.

its been my dream to have fedor sign my mike whitehead affliction tee and now it might finally come true.
