The Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix begins this Saturday with two quarterfinal bouts. The main event sees the man many regard as the greatest heavyweight of all time, former Pride champion Fedor Emelianenko, take on former EliteXC heavyweight champion Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva. The other quarterfinal sees former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski take on the experienced Sergei Kharitonov. Rounding out the card are three reserve bouts, with the winners of each being in place to fill in for an injured fighter on the main tournament bracket. Shane Del Rosario takes on Lavar Johnson, while Chad Griggs faces Gianpiero Villante and Valentijn Overeem faces Ray Sefo. Below is the official trailer for the beginning of the tournament, courtesy of Showtime Sports. I've also included the trailer created by the ever-talented NickTheFace, who always creates top-notch fight promos. See the videos below.
Also keep an eye out for the Strikeforce Grand Prix tourney pick 'em sheet, which I will have out in the next day or so.
