The Strike Force Heavyweight Grand Prix Tourney was kicked off this weekend with 2 tourney matches, the main fight involving Antonio 'Bigfoot' Silva vs Fedor 'The Last Emperor' Emelianenko. The fight lasted 2 rounds, in which the 1st round consisted of heads up strikes. The 2nd round found Fedor down in full-mount position to the much bigger Silva. Fedor did all he could to dodge and squirm out of being punished, but Silva had too much control and ended up closing one of Fedor's eye shut. It was incredible that 'The Last Emperor' survived the round, but the bout was put to a halt when doctors determined that the MMA Legend wasn't physically capable of continuing the fight, and Silva was given the TKO victory. Silva showed great respect to Fedor after the fight was called, and Fedor to a surprise, announced his retirement after an incredible MMA career. What a way to kick off the tournament, Strike Force is in full effect.
