Strikeforce is hosting a conference call at 1 p.m. ET to promote the semi-finals of their heavyweight grand prix tournament. Scheduled to appear on the call are tournament participants Josh Barnett, Sergei Kharitonov, Antonio Silva, and Daniel Cormier, plus Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker.

Follow Mike Fagan on Twitter for updates. Matt Roth will update this post with a live digest. Check back after the call for a full recap.

Barnett made swift work of Brett Rogers, submitting Rogers one minute into the second round. The win extended Barnett's streak to seven. Kharitonov lived up to his billing as the tournament's dark horse, knocking out the chinny Andrei Arlovski within three minutes.

"Bigfoot" Silva provided Fedor Emelianenko his third career loss and second consecutively after doctors stopped the bout in between rounds two and three. Silva spent the majority of the second round hammerfisting the Russian from mount. Cormier enters the tournament as a replacement for Alistair Overeem, who left the tournament due to injury and contract issues.
