Coming to America:
The first episode of the 2nd season starts off where we left last December. Alistair Overeem is presented by a new challenge, The Strikeforce Heavyweight GP tournament. This is a way to silence the critics and show the world who is the No. 1 Heavyweight MMA fighter in the world. And so, another journey begins…
The Strikeforce heavyweight tournament footage starts at the 7:45 min mark.
The Grand Prix will continue with two more two quarterfinal matchups on Saturday, June 18, when STRIKEFORCE Heavyweight World Champion Alistair “The Demolition Man” Overeem [Num.7] faces the only man to tap out Fedor, the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu specialist Fabricio Werdum [Num.4], and hard-hitting Brett “The Grim” Rogers [Num.13] meets former UFC champion Josh Barnett [Num.11].
