DALLAS – Alistair Overeem said he came into his rematch with Fabricio
Werdum expecting fireworks and was disappointed when all he got was a
sparkler.
In the end, the Strikeforce heavyweight champion won and advanced to the
semifinals of the promotion’s heavyweight grand prix. But the way he
won it left a bad taste in his mouth, just as it did for most who
witnessed the fight.
But those who say he bears some of the blame for the dud, Overeem says, are looking the wrong way.
