Strikeforce heavyweight tournament taking shape

Figuratively, not literally.

 

Preach it brother.

 

Obviously. But if we are talking about prostitution, absolutely not, that is disgusting and deplorable.

 

the biggest match up on this tourney is josh barnett vs. the athletic commission. will he pass a drug test?

 

Yet another reason the chances of this tournament being a success are 1,000,000 to 1.

Let's look at the negatives:

1) Overeem having the time and desire to actually show up.
2) Negotiating up to 3 fights with Fedor and M1
3) Josh Barnett surviving pissing in a cup.
4) Werdum healing.
5) Arlovski not get cut or knocked senseless in training.
6) Brett Rogers getting time off from changing tires.

 

1) Overeem seems really motivated lately so I think he by all means will show up
2) Fedor just signed a 4 fight contract with Strikeforce
3) Josh Barnett doesn't make or break the tourney I personally wouldn't care one bit if he was replaced with Gonzaga or somebody..
4) Werdum is all healed up I'm guessing since he has that scheduled fight with Overeem.
5) Arolvski probably gets knocked out on the daily basis in training but he will still show up
6) Brett will be there don't worry. He will call in sick if he has to!

 

yea, i'm still not sure why they keep trying to recycle arlovski. they might as well sign tim sylvia or try to lure frank mir out of ufc. same w/ barnett. he doesnt even have a real fanbase.

 

I actually favor Arlovski to beat Kharitonov. Kharitonov is just as shot as Arlovski and Arlovskis ground game is much better. I can easily see Arlovski submitting him.

Barnett is legit, just is an idiot with the juice.

 

I'll be honest, Strikeforce has a good HW division. They have 4 or 5 guys in Fedor, Werdum, Overeem, Bigfoot and Barnett that are probably top 10-15 in the world. They have a couple of gate keeper types in Arlovski, Rogers and Kharitonov. And they have some up and coming guys that could develop like Cormier, Lavar Johnson and Shane Del Rosario.

They aren't UFC-deep, but it's not a bad division. I have always been an Overeem detractor and I hope he fights thru the tournament so we can see what he really is at this point.

 

I have always felt the same way. At times I feel myself wanting to be a fan, but he just disappoints me everytime by pulling out of a fight for one reason or another.

Just a thought, does anyone think these fights could happen overseas? That would eliminate the drug testing.

 

Wow, things must be different in the States.

 

...and thus ensure Overeem's involvement.

 

Absolutely, as well as Barnett's.:cheer:

 

I just remembered posting this.

 

Well, I was sort of right....
