The Strikeforce World Grand Prix Heavyweight Tournament kicks off this Saturday at the IZOD Center in East Ruthrford, N.J. The World Grand Prix Tournament is a three-stage, single-elimination tournament that will take place over several events in 2011. Some of the fighters were in town to promote this weekends event. I was hoping a Battle Royal would erupt but no such luck. Here are a few of my photos.


A few of the heavyweight combatants, from R to L: Fedor Emelianenko, Antonio “Big Foot” Silva, Andrei Arlovski, Sergei Kharitonov, Alistair Overeem and Josh Barnett
