It took two-and-a-half years, but at Saturday’s “Strikeforce St. Louis:
Heavy Artillery” event, Strikeforce champion Alistair Overeem finally
defended his title.
And as is the case after any champion defends his belt, the question of,
“What’s next?” immediately rises to the forefront.
In this situation, the answer appears painfully obvious: Fedor
Emelianenko. But at the evening’s post-event press conference,
Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said there’s no guarantee an
Overeem-Emelianenko fight is in the cards.
