↵Dutch site Mixfight.nl decided to get in touch with Fedor’s management regarding a fight with Overeem; M-1’s Apy Echteld said that they were interested in fighting Overeem, however they would not fight unless Overeem was drug tested leading up to the fight. In response, Martijn de Jong from Overeem’s team expressed his belief that Fedor deserves a shot at this Strikeforce title, and that they look forward to a potential fight.
Fedor Will Not Fight Overeem Until He Passes A Drug Test
↵↵- Head Kick Legend brings word via Mixfight.nl that Fedor’s management says he won’t fight Overeem unless he takes a drug test.
↵This is likely to become the MMA equivalent of Mayweather / Pacquiao and honestly I’d be fairly surprised if this leads to Overeem never having another fight in Strikeforce. After Fedor gets by Fabricio Werdum there are not a ton of “must see” fights for either Overeem or Fedor on the horizon other than a showdown with each other.
↵It’s becoming increasingly likely that we never see Alistair fight in America again.
