Alistair Overeem To Fight at DREAM.12? [Rumor]
Michael David Smith of AOL Fanhouse is reporting that Alistair Overeem will fight James Thompson on this weekends DREAM.12 fight card in Japan.
The fight has not been announced by DREAM, but Smith is citing a “source with knowledge of the situation.”
If you hop on over to DREAM’s website and look at their DREAM.12 page, you can indeed see that Overeem has been ever so easily (and rather badly) Photoshopped into the DREAM.12 banner.
Overeem just competed this past weekend in a Golden Glory fight card in Amsterdam. Alistair easily defeated an overmatched Tony Sylvester in the first round via submission.
A fight against Thompson is another cream puff fight. While “The Colossus” is a favorite in Japan, he has lost four fights in a row and eight of his last ten.
Two things are certain: first, Thompson will begin the fight with his traditional bull charge, and two, Overeem will easily win the fight via KO.
Overeem is also scheduled to compete in the K-1 World Grand Prix 2009 Final at the end of the year. All this while he has still not defended his Strikeforce heavyweight title since winning the belt in 2007.
