Fedor Emelianenko will not win the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix Tournament
by Jesse Holland on Jan 25, 2011 10:44 AM EST




So says Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker, who spent millions to acquire the former PRIDE Heavyweight Champion:

"I believe that there are going to be some upsets in this tournament. On one side you'll have Alistair Overeem and he will fight (Josh) Barnett. The other prediction is, if Fabricio Werdum beats Alistair (Overeem), I believe Fabricio can beat Fedor (Emelianenko) again and he'll probably fight (Josh) Barnett. That's my prediction, but in these things you never know, I'm just throwing out some names. The reality is we're going to have a lot of fun watching it unfold."

Sounds like "The Last Emperor" will get his last shot at heavyweight gold when he drops the iron curtain on Antonio Silva in the quarterfinals of the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix on Feb. 12 in New Jersey. Promotion CEO Scott Coker, who plunked down a few trillion rubles to sign the Soviet Sambo specialist, thinks Fabricio Werdum will make it 2-0 against Emelianenko if they meet in the semifinals later this year. How about it Maniacs, does this prediction surprise you? And what (if anything) does it say about the Strikeforce/M-1 relationship? Or perhaps Coker is just playing coy while betting the house on his prized stallion?

Coker is just trying to bait Fedor into actually fighting beyond the first bracket so this "tournament" doesn't fall apart once the first round of fights finishes.

That pic is hilarious too btw haha what a ground breaking union that has been so far

Blah blah blah stfu Coker.

He should be worrying about making sure this tournament goes through on Feb. 12th rather than who will end up fighting who.

Anything can happen, but I doubt Fedor makes the same mistake again.

I do agree that Barnett could win the other side though. He's got the best ground game on that side for sure, plus he showed in the Rizzo fight he's got some KO power.

Yeah, I don't see Fedor getting caught again. The only person who I see upsetting him in this tournament is Arlovski. Bahahaha I'm just bullshitting...I couldn't even type that with a straight face. I would be nice though, I'll always be a huge fan of his.

Why the fuck is Coker even opening his mouth and picking who he thinks will win? He is the guy in charge, I have never heard (correct me if Im wrong) Dana make a pick as to who will win a fight. Shit is crazy

I don't think overeem has very many fights left on his contract...this tournament most likely won't see the finale. You know Dana will sign overeem the second he can
