STRIKEFORCE: Heavy Artillery came to the Scottrade Center in St. Louis on May 15 with a card headlined by heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem and Brett Rogers. Overeem won the fight without much trouble. According to fight statistics shown during the broadcast, Rogers threw next to no shots and landed none. It was all Overeem, and fortunately for Rogers, the referee stopped the destruction after three minutes 40 seconds, before he became a pound of ground round.

Antonio "Big Foot" Silva took a unanimous three-round decision over former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski, whose boxing skills weren’t enough to overcome Silva’s imposing size and credible attack strategy.

Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza impressed in his unanimous decision win over Joey Villasenor, who made him earn every point the hard way.

Roger Gracie kept his unbeaten record clean with a second-round rear-naked choke to submit ex-UFC heavyweight champion Kevin Randleman.

Rafael Cavalcante knocked out Antwain Britt after three minutes 45 seconds.
