Should be a lot of fun with two explosive first round fights in the Strikeforce Grand Prix. Fedor is widely by many as the greatest of all time and is always enjoyable to watch. He gets to stake his claim at being the best Heavyweight and GOAT beginning with his fight with Big Foot. However, Big Foot is a very solid fighter and a massive man. It will be fun to see if Fedor can once again overcome a size advantage and win a big fight or to see if Big Foot can get the biggest win of his career.
The other first round fight for the SF Grand Prix is between Andrei Arlovski and Sergei Kharitonov. Both men are legends in the Heavyweight division but made their marks in different organizations. Kharitonov was very successful in PRIDE, whereas AA is a former UFC Heavyweight champion and probably one of the most recognizable fighters of the last 10 or so years. Both men love to throw bombs so this could be a war for the ages.
The reserve bouts should be interesting to watch as well. The fighters may not be as well known but I am sure they will try their best to showcase why they should be the ones to step in if someone gets hurt. I personally look forward to seeing Lil' Overeem fight, I have never seen him fight before, and if he performs like his brother then it should be quiet a sight to behold.
