    Strikeforce has a HWGP planned for 2011 expected to get rolling in March.

    They are looking to put the following opening round fights together:

    Fedor Emelianenko vs. Antonio Silva
    Fabricio Werdum vs. Sergei Kharitonov
    Brett Rogers vs. Josh Barnett
    Alexander Overeem (c) vs. Andrei Arlovski

    Sounds good, right?

    Hopefully they can a) get Fedor re-signed and b) get him to fight. I guess that would be the big task.

    Fedor Emelianenko vs. Antonio Silva
    Fabricio Werdum vs. Sergei Kharitonov
    Brett Rogers vs. Josh Barnett
    Alexander Overeem (c) vs. Andrei Arlovski

    Then, Fedor > Werdum and Overeem > Barnett

    Then, Fedor vs. Overeem

    it does sound good but shouldn't Overeem be exempt from fighting in the tourny part of the grand prix? he is the champ. Whatever though, this looks like itll be good watching.

    I wonder if Overeem's title will be on the line... seems like Arlovski wouldn't be a top contender.

    Fucking it better be on the line in every fight, I'm sick of him not defending it.
