Wow! Didn't think he'd really puss out like that, but you learn something new every day.

I thought for sure he'd back down and **** in order to keep the paycheck.

Messed up toes are a bummer. But he had ample time to recover.

Enough time to recover, but how much time does that leave for a training camp?

I had Bigfoot or Barnett winning the whole tourney. Couldnt care less about Overeem, I like Cormier more anyways.

This really hurts the validity of the Grand Prix winner fighting the UFC champ, If (by most rankings) Overeem is the top Strikeforce heavyweight,and Werdum is arguably the 2nd best Strikeforce heavyweight, whom Overeem just beat, the winner maybe the third best Strikeforce heavyweight or worse getting a shot at the UFC belt. I think that it would be the best for everyone involved to have the strikeforce GP champ face a healthy Overeem for the Strikeforce belt and a UFC title shot.

God damn it like..  Once I posted the other thread saying Overeem threatened I knew he was going to get removed cause I knew he wouldnt back down.. Does he think hes badass by doing this or something?

Broken toes really do suck. I think Cormier vs Silva could be interesting. I think this is a tougher fight for silva than vs Overeem stylistically/.

I'm going to pick the upset with Cormier beat Bigfoot. I haven't really seen Bigfoots TDD tested against an Olympic Silver medalist. I think this is a terrible matchup for Bigfoot. His only chance of a win is to TKO him and now that i think of it he was taken down by Werdum a few times, which doesn't say much....

He's still the Heavyweight champion at Strikeforce I beleive. So the winner will end up facing Overeem...Hmmmmm....That's quite strange ¬_¬

Does anyone know yet why this is for certain beyond our super fight theory?  I'm taking Cormier.

@ninja i agree, i think the winner of the gp will fight overeem...which honestly makes a lot more sense than having the champion in the tournament in the first place. i never really understood why the champ was in the tourney.

i would imagine that the winner of the gp and overeem may have a chance of going to the ufc, but i don't think that there going to send anyone else up to the ufc anytime real soon. especially at hw, diaz had a lot more reason to ***** about not having anyone to fight in strikeforce at ww. strikeforces hw is the only division where they actually have some respectable competition
