Strikeforce: Overeem vs Werdum: Werdum to Overeem “June Is My Month”
Bleacher Report’s Dale De Souza:
If there was ever a great day to be named Fabricio Werdum, this is that day, without question.
He’s facing off against the Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion Alistair Overeem in a rematch of their 2006 bout in PRIDE, he has the momentum of a decisive win against Fedor Emelienenko on his shoulders, and he’s got a chance to cement his status as one of the top two pound-for-pound best Heavyweights in the world in front of a packed madhouse in Dallas, Texas—my stomping grounds.
He also likes the idea of what the purchase of Strikeforce means for his future, as well as the potential behind his rematch with one Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva and rings being used instead of cages, but when it comes to his rematch with the champ next weekend in the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix quarterfinals as part of Strikeforce’s inaugural outing in Dallas, the rest of the discussions are obsolete.
The only thing on Fabricio Werdum’s mind other than his fight with Alistair Overeem is finishing his fight with Alistair Overeem.
