DALLAS – Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem enters his upcoming tournament fight with Fabricio Werdum as a sizable favorite, and with good reason.
The Dutch striking specialist carries a nine-fight win streak into the
featured contest of Saturday night’s “Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum”
event, not to mention belts for the Strikeforce, DREAM and K-1
promotions.
If all goes according to his plan, Overeem will soon add the Strikeforce
heavyweight grand prix title to his collection. And should that happen,
the massive heavyweight sees no reason a UFC title shouldn’t come next.
