Great event. I loved it.
Especially because it had different kinds of action and no brawls or so after for a change
Overeem was indeed living up the his nick The Demolition Man because he demolished Brett. The way he got Brett on the ground showed so much power and that ground and pound, WOW.
Finally a Gracie that showed why the name Gracie is well known in MMA. Really impressive grappling and great knee to start it. Also his stand up was not bad.
The Bigfoot did well also. Was not the easiest opponent but his game plan was well worked out and he stayed calm.
Joey unfortunately could not do what he is best at, even though he landed some punches and his escapes from the ground were done well. Great take downs by Souza but I did not see why they were talking about him being so well at submissions. Might have to look at Gracie a bit more. Good win from him though.
Britt started out well but then he received a nice beating. Yet another great fight.
All I can say is Strikeforce great work and Fedor meet Overeem soon so you can get a Dutch whoop ass

I really agree that Bellators commentating is better. I also dont like Gus too much even though he has sharpend up a little. If you think that sounded like a funeral, watch him 3- 4 big events ago, he sounded like he was the corps on the funeral but now at least he manages to sound somewhat positive. Pat M. would be a good replacement, and personally i have nothing against Quadros either. But I was refering to compared to earlier events, i thought they where rather entertaining and didnt speak at the same time and actually commentated allright. After watching Mike Strakas interview with Shamrock I like him a little better then i used to so im not gonna complain about his commentating, think it was allright

M-1 Global: Fedor not looking past Werdum, but open to fight with Overeem
Challenge issued; challenge accepted.
Mere hours after Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said he would need to sit down with M-1 Global officials to determine if a potential blockbuster fight between Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem (33-11 MMA, 3-0 SF) and perennial top-ranked fighter Fedor Emelianenko (31-1 MMA, 1-0 SF) might be possible for later this year, those officials have answered the call.
And according to M-1 Global executive Evgeni Kogan, Fabricio Werdum is all that's standing in the way.
"As we've mentioned in the past, Fedor fights whoever is put in front of him," Kogan today told MMAjunkie.com. "If Overeem is presented by the Strikeforce matchmakers as Fedor's next opponent, then that is who Fedor is going to fight."
After defeating Brett Rogers at Saturday night's "Strikeforce St. Louis: Heavy Artillery" event, Overeem made it a point to call-out the Russian heavyweight in his post-fight speech, as well as again in the evening's post-event press conference.
Coker was quick to point out that such a bout could only be arranged with the blessings of his business partners at M-1 Global, who own Emelianenko's promotional contract.
M-1 Global now seems receptive to that possibility, though Kogan said Emelianenko simply can't focus on that opportunity at this time with a June 26 matchup with Werdum in San Jose, Calif., on the horizon.
"At this point Fedor is choosing not to look past Fabricio," Kogan said. "He is in the most intense part of his training camp in Stary Oskol right now and would like for it to be known that he is focused 100 percent on Werdum.
"The camp considers Werdum a very strong and dangerous opponent – as Fedor's brother found out a few years ago – and all attention is currently on June 26 and San Jose."
So it appears, as least for now, that Emelianenko's Showtime-broadcast bout with Werdum is all that stands in the way of a matchup with Overeem. It's a bout that makes sense for the organization, makes sense for the fans, and apparently now makes sense for M-1 Global.
"I thought [Overeem] won in very impressive fashion," Kogan said. "We respect Alistair as an opponent and think that this would be a great potential matchup."

Sup guys Loved the event, like jrpepaseed said when we were watching, Rogers looked scared from the staredown....rabbit in the headlights - perhaps the Fedor KO played on his mind more than we might have thought. The Reem did as I expected though I thought it might last a bit longer. Arolvski looked poor. I picked him as I thought his speed would be the key. But he didnt look good at all, and Bigfoots standup, expecially his speed and footwork has improved a lot. Good performance. Jacare dissapointed to be honest, whereas Gracie looked excellent. Be interesting to see gracie against a higher calibre striker though, someone with arms less than 9" shorter than his
