Despite the legendary field of 16 heavyweights in the Pride Heavyweight Grand Prix (see below), Fedor Emelianenko believes Strikeforce may have surpassed it with the crop of eight fighters they have kicking off their own Heavyweight Grand Prix in 2011.
I believe that this tournament has assembled enough quality fighters and some of the strongest and most interesting heavyweight fighters in the world. So I think that in no way is this tournament any less than the ones I competed for with Pride.”
I believe it’s just as good, if not better.
I don’t think that the years I spent in Pride can give me any type of advantage or dictate how I will perform in this tournament. Certainly experience in this tournament is something that is valuable. Nevertheless, I have to train very hard for this fight and we’ll see what happens.
