Compustrike: Strikeforce Overeem vs. Werdum by the numbers

Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum was one of the most anticipated bouts of 2011 and unfortunately the event did not live up to the hype. We’ve all heard the saying “styles make fights” and last Saturday was a perfect display of that. It was clear, Fabricio Werdum wanted to keep the fight on the ground, and Alistair Overeem wanted to keep the fight on the feet.

Overeem vs. Werdum will determine the #1 MMA Heavyweight in the World

Strikeforce Heavyweight Tournament will kick-off next month, with some very exciting match-ups on the bracket. Of course, the first event will mark the return of Fedor Emelianenko to the Strikeforce cage, but in my opinion, the most important bout of the first round is the collision between Alistair Overeem and Fabricio Werdum. In his fight against Antonio Silva (Izod Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey on February 12th), Fedor Emelianenko will look to make a statement that he’s still the driving force

M-1 Global President Vadim Finkelstein revealed in an exclusive interview for LowKick.com Community, that “The Last Emperor” Fedor Emelianenko will square off against the yet unnamed opponent, befor he gets a rematch against Fabricio Werdum. Fedor Emelianenko was in Atlantic City, NJ this weekend for the M-1 Selection show, revealing to the popular MMA video blogger Bloodstain Lane that he is looking to sign a new 4 or 6-fight deal with Strikeforce. Also, to the disappointment of Mixed Martial Arts fans
