Current Strikeforce Betting Odds – On June 18, 2011, action in Strikeforce’s Heavyweight Grand Prix will continue live from the American Airlines Arena in Dallas, Texas, as Heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem (34-11-0) looks to avenge a 2006 loss to Fabricio “Vai Cavalo” Werdum (14-4-1). Werdum made Overeem submit to a kimura midway through the second round of their last encounter, and while he is just as dangerous as he ever was on the ground, Overeem has grown leaps and bounds both as a striker and a wrestler. Overeem is the much larger man, and a very underrated wrestler, so if Werdum can’t find a way to get him on the ground he is going to be in for a very rough time. On the ground, Overeem is more than competent, but Werdum is still light years better, so this should be a very compelling main event
