Alistair Overeem thinks it’s a little fishy that Fedor Emelianenko is suddenly clamoring for a fight with him.
Emelianenko’s reps at M-1 Global made headlines this week by announcing the Russian heavyweight wants a year-end meeting with Overeem – and not Fabricio Werdum, who submitted him Emelianenko back in June.
But Overeem, Strikeforce’s current heavyweight champion, contends M-1 is playing “tricks” with the public to cut in line for a crack at his belt.
