It’s about damn time, ladies and gentlemen.
The Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem is going to fight a top-10 heavyweight.
For years now, Alistair has been running through opponents and the hype surrounding him has been building. However, while he has managed to topple some solid fighters, he has not yet faced off against an elite member of his division.
Enter Fabricio Werdum.
Werdum is considered by many to be a top-five heavyweight. He already owns a victory over Overeem, having defeated him by submission back in 2006.
Fabricio is also the first man to legitimately defeat Fedor Emelianenko and has a victory over the only other man to legitimately defeat Fedor, Antonio Silva.
This is a big test for Overeem, but if he passes it, he will finally prove to the world that he is an elite heavyweight.
Does Alistair have what it takes to avenge his loss to Fabricio?
Let’s take a look…
