The win advanced Overeem to the Semifinals of the STRIKEFORCE World Grand Prix Heavyweight Tournament where he is set to face Antonio “Big Foot” Silva.

In the second quarterfinal fight, former UFC Heavyweight Champion Josh Barnett began his climb back up the mountain with an impressive win over Brett Rogers. Barnett will face unheralded Russian badass Sergei Kharitonov in the Semifinals.
