Strikeforce held its first World Grand Prix tournament to determine the world's strongest fighter in the Heavyweight Division. Involving 8 of some of the world's best competitors, this film dictates 3 days of events that led up to the first half of the 1st Round of the tournament in the East Coast.
The tournament consists of eight elite fighters within the Heavyweight Division.
It's a single elimination tournament. Where the winner moves up the bracket until eventually only two are left to determine the tournament champion.
It started off with the Coalition to Legalize MMA, which I’m a part of. I began filming Episode 3 of NY MMA and met quite a few people there. Including Paula “The Original Queen of MMA” Romero, Stephen Koepfer and a host of others.
We held a rally down by City Hall and answered a lot of questions from passersby in the street. With all of that happening, the entire ordeal was capped off with Frank Shamrock coming to speak, along with Tara LaRosa and a surprise ending—the Strikeforce, DREAM and K-1 Grand Prix HW Champion, Alistair Overeem phew. He came on down to visit, say hi and support the rally before running off.
