Man that Super Can turny must be tough one since Sokoudjou is in the championship, and just another excuse to dodge for Overeem.

It’s not a NYE card in Japan w/o at least one of the following…

-Zuluzinhu
-Hong Man Choi
-Bob Sapp
-A champion fighting a complete pushover.

Give me Fedor vs. Bobby Ologun and I’m so in.

I have no problem with someone stating he needs to defend the belt, I agree with that, but once the “this steroid freak needs to stop crushing cans” shit starts is when it needs to be addressed. He’s still signed to Dream and K-1 and as long as they’re giving him fights he’s going to take them. Plus word on the street is both Timmy and Andrei turned down a fight with him on NYE, so now it’s really starting to not be his fault.

@Rjeezy

I don’t think that any of those reasons excuse strikeforce or overeem. That just makes strikeforce sound like an incompetent joke of an organization and Overeem breaking his hand in a bar fight… that’s not the best excuse either. I don’t really see how questioning strikeforce/overeem on this is issue is dumb despite all of the excuses behind it.

Maybe you are just trying to say it’s not all overeems fault which I guess I can agree with but the fact remains.. strikeforce’s heavyweight champion hasn’t fought for the organization in years and yet he’s been busy fighting k1 and MMA in Japan for the majority of the time. That’s an unacceptable situation in my opinion.

@Goog

The japanese just like their familiar fights, and Sokodjou and Minowaman are pretty popular over there. Super Hulk typically just refers to an open weight class, not the the guys are necessarily huge, although most of the time they are. Just means “open weight”.

@Rjeezy

You basically just explained it to yourself. The last statement that Overeem made was that he was done with K-1 and was returning to MMA, most likely leading to a defense of his Strikeforce belt sometime in the new year. I don’t think there is any more info beyond that yet.

StrikeForce and Dream have at least one thing in common, they can have a ticked with fights that are TBA less than two weeks away from an event. THAT is impressive.

I hope that some of those TBA’s actually show up though. Mostly I just care about Zaromskis, but there are still some good fights on the card without the TBA’s. Hopefully Aoki gets in there as well.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, its probably Tim Sylvia

It’s hard to not go back and re-read “Super Hulk” and “Sokoudjou” in the same line and wonder wtf.

Kinda like it was for “The new Light-Heavyweight Champion of the World… Forrest Griffin.”

If half of the rumors are true it should be pretty epic.

If not I’ll just read CPs live blog the next day.

Yo CP can you please explain what the Overeem situation was and is so I don’t have to read this same dumb shit every time you mention him? You know, the whole thing with Strikeforce expecting Buentello to beat him so he had a 1 fight contract, then they had no one else for him to fight for a year and a half, then he was supposed to fight Rogers but it fell through, then he was supposed to fight Werdum but hurt his hand, then he was selected to fight in the K-1 GP so he was focused on that, and now he’s already said he’ll be fighting for the title in the late winter/early spring.

Anyways, sexiest FW fights EVER so far. If they add Hioki vs Bibi and Mousasi vs Manhoef (K1 rules) like people are talking about it’s going to be amazing

he forgot to mention he only eats horses that have been juiced.. strip that fag of his belt already!!!!

Overeem’s doctor, Nick Riviera, has advised him to avoid fighting in the U.S. for as long as possible.

Awww man…

I was looking forward to the Oxqwezxcs Yzysdsmhioasei vs. Mqweczwsobv Vquvxizlpqr fight soooo bad.

How long has it been sense the strikeforce heavyweight champion has had a fight in strikeforce? At what point do you say fuck it and take the belt back? I lose a little more respect for SF everytime Overeem fights somewhere else.

Card looks like the inside of a colon.

Good idea NOT fighting, Tim. If you think Ray Mercer hits hard, Melvin Manhoef might hit harder…

First. Ok card
