Strikeforce Tournament Poster Design
Once Strikeforce announced that were going to put on an eight-man heavyweight tournament I knew immediately that I was going to design a poster for this event because there was so much potential in terms of design with this event. Here is what I came up with, I hope you all enjoy!
Following months of speculation, Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker’s desire to promote a single-elimination heavyweight tournament in 2011 has come to fruition. Showtime, which expects to televise each of the event’s three legs, revealed opening-round matches and the tournament bracket Tuesday.
Beginning Feb. 12 at the IZOD Center in East Rutherford, N.J., four of the eight fighters signed up for the main draw will compete in first-round matchups.
Fedor Emelianenko (31-2) fights Antonio Silva (15-2) and Andrei Arlovski (15-8) is matched against Sergei Kharitonov (16-4).
The remaining quarterfinal fights will likely take place in April, Showtime and Strikeforce officials said. The event’s date and location are yet to be determined. Current Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem (33-11) will meet Fabricio Werdum (14-4-1), and Brett Rogers (11-2) tangles with Josh Barnett (29-5).
