So far I think the good bets are Barnett over Rogers and Sergei over Arlovski.

2.5u Sergei to win 2.5u
Valentijn Overeem (28-25), a 15-year MMA veteran and older brother to Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair, will meet eight-time K-1 World Grand Prix (kickboxing) finalist Ray Sefo (2-0) in one of three reserve bouts, all constructed to provide alternates should any of the tournament field lose its footing along the way. Chad Griggs (9-1), who surprised many by taking out former WWE pro wrestler Bobby Lashley in two rounds last August, has also been seeded into the reserve brackets against an opponent to be revealed shortly, said Coker.
ESPN.com reported last Tuesday that Strikeforce Challengers headliners Lavar Johnson (15-3) and Shane Del Rosario (7-1) will get the final reserve bout slot.
The five heavyweight bouts will air live Feb. 12 on Showtime, Coker told the Times.

I hope griggs is set up with cormier.
My only concern with Sergei over Arlovski is that flat footed style of his. If Arlvoski comes in confident he could dance around and pick Sergei off all fight long.

Strikeforce Signs Gian Villante, Battles Chad Griggs in Third Grand Prix Reserve Bout
Gian Villante, a two-time champion in Ring of Combat and Levittown native, has signed a multifight contract with Strikeforce, Newsday has learned.
Villante will make his Strikeforce debut in the heavyweight division against Chad Griggs on the Feb. 12 card at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, N.J.
Those are some weak alternates. They better be praying they don't have to get in there...
The UFC couldnt even put on a 8 man HW tourney , they dont have 8 legit HW's
1.Cain
2.Carwin
3.Lesnar
4.JDS
5.Mir
6.NOG
7.Nelson
then who? Schaub or Rothwell lol
forget alternates if the UFC had one
No organization in the world has enough HW's to put on a 8 man tourney and still have 6 top fighters for alternates

^^^ I know he's been looking like shit, but you could still throw Big Nog's name in the 8th place.
I heart cock
Well its already in the 6th place. You want him to fight on both sides of the bracket?

Bookmaker has odds to win the tourney up:
Fedor +160
Overeem +200
Barnett +400
Arlovski +900
Kharitonov +2000
Silva +1800
Werdum +1400

Steve Jennum's going to win it all.

MIght do a small bet on Barnett and Arlovski. Since they are on the weak side of the pool, one of them will probably make the finals... As long as it is not Overeem/Arlovski, I think either guy could win.
I wasn't knocking it, just saying those alternates are going to be in some deep shit if they actually have to fight.
I have always maintained that SF HW's were superior to the UFC HW's. I still believe that, and I think SF has the best HW (Fedor) and more top 10 HW's than the UFC.
