Mike Chiapetta confirms via Twitter and MMA Fighting. The Strikeforce Heavyweight tournament has taken shape, here's to hoping it goes according to plan.
Fedor Emelianenko vs. Antonio Silva
Andrei Arlovski vs. Sergei Kharitonov
Brett Rogers vs. Josh Barnett
I'm curious, is Overeem's expected participation in the tournament caused by the lack of quality fighters at heavyweight, or Strikeforce wanting to make sure Overeem fights in Strikeforce throughout 2011? Would it be easier for them if Werdum defeats Overeem? Yeah, but Werdum isn't nearly as marketable as "The Reem". Regardless, Strikeforce appears committed to making some waves with their heavyweight division in 2011.
