    this is bullshit. i had a few units on the overeem to win tourny prop at +180.

    so, cormier vs antonio silva. tough one to call. huge step up in competition for cormier. however, with his style he can beat anyone as long as he doesn't get caught cleanly. i'll probably take cormier at + odds.

    I think Bigfoot is going to kill Cormier.... he should dwarf him and that's quite a step up. Man, sucks that AO is out though.

    Sure makes a joke out of their alternate tourney. Griggs, Del Rosario deserved it.

    More like Zuffa silently announcing plans to fold Strikeforce, ASAP.

    Seriously, why force Overeem to fight in September when he's willing to fight a month later? That's not reasonable?

    I don't remember there being any good field options. I think most of the props for a tournament winner were pretty bad. Getting Oveerem in the +150 area is awful for a tournament that could take over a year to finish anyways. Also if something happens to a fighter your bet is counted as a loss. You'd be better off in most cases just betting your fighter all the way to the finals. Some people got decent odds on Silva and Barnett, but it was never worth the risk in my opinion. Obviously these people are laughing now though. If you look at Silva's path you could have potentially got him at +400 against Fedor. He was very likely to face Overeem where it should have been estimated that he'd be a big underdog again. Had he made it to the finals who knows what the odds would have been. Either way though by betting every fight in your fighters way you would come out ahead more often than not. You would also not have your money locked up for at least a year and you would be safe if something happened to your fighter like an injury.

    Either way, good luck to everyone that has a big dog to win this thing.

    I think Cormier can take Bigfoot down pretty easily.

    This "tournament" was always one big joke, so no surprise in how it ended up here, however we did get to see Fedor destroyed (with Big Foot at +400 value). It has no run its course, best to just crap it altogether now.

    So how much longer does Strikeforce exist? Do we think they even finish the Grand Prix after September 10th?

    Maybe Overeem is picking the K-1 GP over the SF GP. K-1's qualifying round is usually late September, early October. Just a hunch.

    agree, I'm pissed... I was gonna take big foot as a nice dog in that. Reem is a joke, all of this fallout is on him imo. Just pissed we didn't get to see him get beat down and exposed against silva
