Tonight, the Strikeforce Grand Prix continues with two big time bouts featuring Overeem vs. Werdum and Barnett vs. Rogers. As well as the mini tournament, known as the reserve bouts which will feature Cormier vs. Monson and Overeem vs. Griggs. And, a scrap between two exciting fighters in KJ Noons and Jorge Masvidal.
Overeem will be attempting to defeat the odds, by not losing and proving that the outcome of this tournament is a sham if he wins it all. And, judging from the weigh in photos of Werdum he shouldn't have that much trouble. That said, Werdum is still a wizard on the ground and Reem really needs to avoid taking it there, that is how he lost last time. Should be an interesting clash of styles.
Barnett vs. Rogers will be a slugfest. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Rogers only know how to punch and Barnett will oblige him, until he finally decides to stop messing around and tap Rogers out. However, Barnett will have to avoid getting punched because one shot from Rogers and it will be lights out. Should be a fun match up.
And King Karl returns to action for the first time since his fight with Nick Diaz. He is looking to prove something against Masvidal and rise up the ranks of the Lightweight division. Should be a fast paced, hard hitting match up.
As always remember, DO NOT POST SPOILERS! The undercard may be used to fill in time slots if needed and the results don't need to be discussed.
