Fedor Signs 4 fight deal with Strikeforce, To take part in 8 man Heavyweight Tourny

[bzkfn]

I'm really looking forwad to this. Arlovski is very talented but the guy just checks out in some fights and simply doesn't seem to have the chin for HWs. Khartinov is also a guy that can look great one day and awful the next. I don't think either of these guys can put together 3 full rounds to beat Fedor. I really don't see Werdum or Rogers beating Overeem and Barnett. I hope to see Fedor and Barnett in the finals. I've always wanted to see this fight.

He beat him once before. Made him tap. No reason he can't do it again.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that when he beat him Overeem was still attempting to campaign at LHW. Alistair is much better at HW considering the toll that the cut put on him. I wouldn't be in shock if he lost to Werdum but I think Overeem can and will keep the fight standing. Pretty slim chance of Fabricio winning the fight if he cant get it to the mat.

I agree, Overeem has improved rapidly. But I didn't give Werdum a prayer against Fedor but Fabricio said he'd make him tap in the first and he was a man of his word.

Captain - As for the brackets, seems to be a conflicting report, but if you've seen it on numerous websites then I'd imagine you're right. Seems strange to me. They must have guaranteed Fedor a title shot should he get past Silva.
