June 26, 2010 marked the night Fedor Emelianenko would taste ”actual” defeat for the first time in his MMA career. In a bout to determine the next challenger for the Strikeforce Heavyweight Championship, Fabrico Werdum submitted Emelianenko at 1:09 of the first round.

Within an hour after Strikeforce Heavy Artillery was completed Scott Coker sat behind a table located somewhere inside the Scottrade Center ready to field questions after a solid (none controversial) event. That event saw Alistair Overeem’s first Strikeforce Heavyweight title defense after winning the belt roughly 30 months ago over Paul Buentello. Overeeem (32-11) faced off against Brett Rogers (10-1) and made short work of the aggressive knockout artist who actually looked very tentative in the fight.
