Rumors have been swirling that the recently released Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion Alistair Overeem is on the verge of signing an exclusive deal with the UFC.
Although it is yet to be confirmed, Overeem has expressed interest in joining the world’s largest MMA promotion when the UFC’s parent company, Zuffa, purchased Strikeforce earlier this year.
Unable to continue on in the Strikeforce World Heavyweight Grand Prix tournament following a win over Fabricio Werdum, Overeem was subsequently released from Strikeforce. Fellow Golden Glory teammates were also released by both promotions under Zuffa due to a row between the Dutch camp and the company.
However, it appears that Overeem’s contract may have some holes that would make his debut in the UFC a reality.
As speculation continues, here are six possible fights that “the Reem” may take if his dream of fighting in the UFC comes true.
