Andrei Arlovski talks about his future after losing to Antonio Silva at Strikeforce Heavy Artillery. He expresses some disappointment in his performance singling out his boxing and his need to fight more often.

Alistair Overeem was predictably happy with his first round TKO of Brett Rogers in Strikeforce Heavy Artillery. Rogers landed exactly one punch as Overeem was in control for almost the entire fight. After the fight he was more interested in setting up a match-up with Fedor Emilianenko than talking about the fight that he just finished.

Alistair Overeem is clearly the best heavyweight that Strikeforce has to offer Fedor. If it were to happen, it would probably be the best fight ever for Strikeforce in both quality and viewership. The main obstacle is that Fedor Emlianenko‘s management, M1, is notoriously difficult to negotiate with and would likely hold out for as much money as they can squeeze out of Strikeforce before allowing the fight to go forward.

Alistair Overeem TKOed Brett Rogers in the first round of their Strikeforce Heavy Artillery match-up.

Brett “The Grim” Rogers didn’t appear to learn anything from his loss to Fedor Emilianenko as he dropped his guard after some early kicks from Overeem. Overeem was then able to get him on the ground where the fight would stay for the final three minutes with Rogers just trying to limit the amount of damage he takes. Overeem eventually worked him to the cage, started setting up the guillotine choke before unleashing a torrent of heavy punches with Rogers unable to defend. (more…)
