Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker would like to move past the post-fight brawl that marred his promotion's last show, and on Saturday night in St. Louis, he'll promote a fight card that should go a long way toward doing that. The Heavy Artillery card, which will be televised on Showtime, features the long-awaited return of Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem (defending his belt against Brett Rogers) as well as a co-main event with heavyweights Andrei Arlovski and Antonio Silva.With two heavyweight fights in the top two spots, Coker said in an interview with MMAFighting.com that he thinks the heavyweight division is the premier division in Strikeforce. He also talked about the upcoming return of Fedor Emelianenko, and why that brawl on CBS disappointed him. The full interview is below.
