Strikeforce Does It Right Tonight?

Oh Showtime tonight, the Strikeforce promotion is having the first 2 of their fights in their heavyweight tournament, and I personally just love it. I wish there were more of these bracket style set-ups in mixed martial arts. In addition to the 2 fights, there are 3 "heavyweight tourney reserve" fights. Check out the televised card:

• Fedor Emelianenko vs. Antonio Silva (heavyweight-tournament quarterfinals)
• Andrei Arlovski vs. Sergei Kharitonov (heavyweight-tournament quarterfinals)

• Shane Del Rosario vs. Lavar Johnson (heavyweight-tournament reserve fight)
• Valentijn Overeem vs. Ray Sefo (heavyweight-tournament reserve fight)
• Chad Griggs vs. Gian Villante (heavyweight-tournament reserve fight)

I'll take Fedor and Kharitonov to move on. I'm actually picked Fedor to win the whole thing.

Here's some promo stuff to devour:
