One of the world's best and recently forgotten heavyweights will jump back into maw of the heavyweight grind as Andrei Arlovski has announced on his website that he's making his return to the Strikeforce organization with a 16-month contract. Rumors that he would face ATT fighter and former EliteXC heavyweight champion Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva were later confirmed by Silva's management.

Andrei's statement from Arlovski.com:

As promised I wanted to tell you all first hand, I have a multi-fight deal for the next 16 months with Strikeforce and I cannot wait to get into the ring and show the world what I have been working on for the last few months!
