Demolition camp: You will see Alistair Overeem in Strikeforce in 2010

by Jesse Holland on Oct 20, 2009 9:10 AM EDT

Quoteworthy:

"We’ll be seeing him (in Strikeforce) next year, 100 percent. Whatever they want, if they want to put Alistair against Fedor, it’s fine, depending on how we can make good terms. Obviously, if it was a build-up, there were the first two fights if (Alistair) would win, and then he would go for a bigger fight and the money would be better, but if Fedor challenges him for the title, (Alistair) still has the title and he wants to defend it, it’s not a problem. Then the fight is on. I can tell you one thing, man, Alistair's going to be ready. He's going to (expletive) Fedor up."

Bas Boon, manager for Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion Alistair Overeem, insists his star pupil will indeed return to the United States to defend the title he's held hostage for almost two years. There has been speculation that "Demolition Man" was hiding out in the far East to escape stateside drug testing -- and the heavy hands of Brett Rogers. Will Overeem return as promised? Or have we seen the last of the Dutch behemoth on US soil?

I think it’s still up in the air – either James or Non druggy ricco. He actually made it down to 210 lbs for ADCC. He’d get blown out but i bet people won’t b!tch as much.

Cycle off and get your ass back to America and fight. Otherwise, put the belt in a box and FedEx it back. Either way, nobody cares.

say what you want about him but overeem is a tough fight for anyone. IMO better than anything fedor has faced in at least 3 years

good thing your opinion doesn’t count. Fedor hasn’t had to deal with all the roid junkies facing him cause now he’s in America. As you can see the fights only get easier for him over here. haha Alistar would get smashed by Fedor, no questions asked.

Fedor is gonna do to Overeem at HW what Shogun did to him at LHW.

2010 should be enough time to flush the crank out of his system lol

Just about time to detox..

by Syd on Oct 20, 2009 6:22 PM EDT up reply actions

The roid detox should be done by then.

I hope Overeem comes back and defends his title vs Fedor, and knocks his butt back to Russia

Hopefully by 2010, they strip that roid abuser of his title. I don’t even care to see him in Strikeforce an longer

hahah fedor would rape him

by joeke on Oct 20, 2009 10:27 AM EDT reply actions

I want Overeem to come back to the States, he’s exciting to watch and is just plain huge. Everyone uses roids in MMA, not using them during training to recover your body tissue is stupid. But not everyone ABUSES roids, like Overeem has been doing. In any event, I just want Overeem back and see him dismantle guys like he used to!

I use cocaine, you know, just a little to wake me up and get me going in the morning. But I don’t abuse it. That would be wrong.

^^lmao P-dub.
that comment from pathmarkpolice is just absurd!!! i don’t even know what to say about it, i think PW’’s sarcasm speaks for itself.

by Blunt N' Beer on Oct 20, 2009 12:24 PM EDT up reply actions

I believe PED should be legal in all sports. I wanna see superhuman peak performance. People who b!tch about the health concerns just aren’t men enough to be great. It’s also a widely known fact that roids do not improve fighting abilities. It’s science people.

by NameNotRequired on Oct 20, 2009 1:54 PM EDT up reply actions

Really, greatly increased strength, endurance don’t improve fighting abilities? Had me fooled! We should let Sherk know straight away!

by frosnt on Oct 20, 2009 2:00 PM EDT up reply actions

If you want MMA to end up like pro wrestling where the mortality rate is huge and most of the stars end up dead before hitting 50 then by all means let them all take steroids. That’s a great way to get the mainstream media to report on MMA and treat it as a proper sport, let everyone take steroids.

Stupid Idea, obviously. That comment was pure gold thought PW.

I gotta admit though, he bags hot chicks.

PW that is too funny!

by bellio on Oct 20, 2009 11:19 AM EDT reply actions

Interesting at how all you guys are saying Fedor will beat Overeem! Fedor hasn’t got passed Brett Rogers yet so lets wait until that’s taken place before we talk about Fedor vs Overeem for the Strikeforce Title.

by Stu on Oct 20, 2009 11:37 AM EDT reply actions

this is bullshit Lol. he must be on drugs to say that Lol. he gonna fuck fedor up Lol. puts a smile on my face everytime!

by hangover on Oct 20, 2009 11:40 AM EDT reply actions

I’m so glad there’s ppl like pathmark police, who know for a fact that every1 in mma uses roids. I wish i’d gotten this fast fact that’s clearly true and has no chance of being a false statement, blurted out by a bias Alistair fan.

dude how do you gain lean mass that fast????
he is far more swollen than the pride days…

by budsykind on Oct 20, 2009 3:21 PM EDT up reply actions

He will fail miserably without his precious roids.

by Lester The Pimp on Oct 20, 2009 1:28 PM EDT reply actions

saying that he will fight in 2010 is a very broad statement…febuary of 2010 and november 2010 is a big difference…dude could fight in 2010 and still not defend his belt in over a year
