Fuck, forgot about that. Overeem will be doing that for sure, here in Holland the K1 GP >>> Fedor, and especially with his loss to Badr Hari last year he will be interested in taking that down for sure..

I'd prefer him just fighting in his fights than "fighting" more than twice a year.

TBH I would kick Fedors ass right now if he keeps on doing what he's doing in the most recent fights...

he never gave a fuck. he said all the time he doesnt care about shit and that he just fights for god and all kinds of other crazy shit.

I dont really follow MMA but Id really want to see this one.one time plz.

Fedor didnt liked being called a "god" by fans, he just fights because he likes it and it provides for his family he doesnt care about the ego that came with being number one and now that he lost he probably isnt carry some of that weight anymore, hopefully his mind is more clear to the next fight.

Since it's Strikeforce, Fedor vs Uber makes sense because it makes no sense.

not gonna happen.

m1 wants olympic drug testing.
overeem wants to fight werdum, and since he cant fight werdum hes going to compete in the k1 tournament.

yeah, Overeem just basically stated that.

This seems like overeem ducking Fedor or the drug testing tbh, he said that Fedor should fight Silva first and then the winner fights the winner of Werdum vs Overeem lol wut... you ask for years to fight Fedor, now you have it and you want him to act like some low level challenger?

i think its pretty clear that Overeem doesnt want this fight to happen maybe the drug testing?, or maybe he just wants to act as the the #1 heavy weight or something... but he is looking very bad imo especially when he said he wouldnt fight in K1 if Werdum was available... so you skip K1 for Werdum but not for Fedor?

Was reading about this earlier today on some mma site, I copy pasted what it said:

On Wednesday afternoon, M-1 Global released a statement in which Fedor Emelianenko was quoted as saying that he now wanted to fight Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem sooner rather than later.

But when MMA Fighting spoke to Overeem shortly thereafter, he said he had no interest in fighting anyone other than Fabricio Werdum under the Strikeforce banner, and that his next fight will be for K-1 in October.

A transcript of our conversation is below.

Have you decided when and where your next fight will be?

Yes, I'm going to fight in the K-1 tournament, so my first fight will be October for the Final 16 in Korea. If I win the fight, I will advance to the Final 8 in Japan. That fight will be in December.

Why isn't your next fight going to be for Strikeforce?

I've stated many times that Strikeforce was my number one priority, but after Fedor lost to Werdum, I had no intention of fighting somebody other than Werdum. I came to the States to challenge the winner of the fight and that was Werdum, so no need to fight somebody else. Furthermore, I like K-1 very much and there are not many opportunities to stay fighting in K-1, so I want to fight if I still can. One of my goals is to be K-1 champion and this is my chance.

Emelianenko has now said that he would like to fight you by the end of the year. Is that possible at this point?

No, unfortunately not. The reason is because if I enter the Final 16 and win, I will fight the K-1 Final in December. My decision was made because nothing was certain and Strikeforce and M-1 didn't act fast enough when I made my decision to start K-1 training. Now I read on the internet that Fedor and his management want to fight me all of sudden. Do they really need two months of thinking and negotiating? I think it's a little strange to be honest. If Fedor challenged me right after the fight it would have been something to take in consideration, but the M-1 management started to say that all the polls on several websites stated that people rather have a Fedor vs. Werdum rematch then a fight against me. There we have another lie by M-1 because every poll I have read stated the opposite and showed that everybody want to see Fedor versus me. Check their current poll at their own Web site (laughs).

Scott Coker recently hinted at the fact that Antonio Silva would be your next opponent. Does a fight against "Bigfoot" interest you?

No, not at all. When I fought Brett Rogers there was much criticism over how the champion could fight a fighter that lost his last fight. If you co-promote with people that have their own demands it's hard to make good and logical fights. If you look at another big MMA organization in the States, you can see that they have a clear road map of who's fighting who and which fighters are entitled to get a shot at the championship belt. Having a clear virtual ranking is one of the reasons they are successful because they can hype fights. You can debate if I'm the number one in Strikeforce using results of the past, but the fact remains that Fedor signed with Strikeforce and chose Werdum instead of me. We all know that in every organization Fedor is more than welcome to fight straight for the belt due to his stature and experience, but if his management decided that they would like a tune-up fight and then Werdum before fighting me they are taking a risk. Fighting in a organization is just the same as climbing a ladder. If you lose, you will fall a couple of steps down and if you win you go up. It's not fair to other fighters that are climbing the same ladder. So to make a long story short, I'm the champion, which means I'm number one, not based on ranking but because I'm wearing the belt.

Number two is clearly Werdum because of his win over Fedor and Antonio Silva. Fedor losing means he's number 3 and Antonio Silva, who came back from a loss against Werdum by defeating Arlovski is clearly the number 4. So in that case, Fedor should fight Antonio Silva and the winner of that fight should fight against the winner of a bout between myself and Werdum. It's just that simple -- it's not rocket science.

Does a part of you think that the Fedor fight will never happen now?

If Fedor stays in Strikeforce and beats Antonio Silva and I win my fight against Werdum, then there is a big possibility that I will face him. So I still think I will meet him in the cage eventually.

Do you still have an issue with the way M-1 has handled this situation?

Everybody knows that I'm not crazy about those guys. I personally think that they don't know how the US market works. They have a different mentality and culture. The way they use Fedor as a trophy is, in my opinion, not how a management team should work. They should have the interest of the fighter as the number one priority and sometimes I have the feeling that Fedor doesn't know what M-1 is demanding behind his back. I don't want to go in to details so I won't. All I can say is never have I witnessed a management manipulating and using the amount of tricks as Fedor's management has done.

Has this whole process been frustrating for you?

In the beginning I took it personally because of the things Vadim [Finkelstein] and M-1 we're saying in the media and I wanted to fight him bad, but now that he lost I was like, 'What goes around comes around.' So now I will move on and focus on my own career.

I think Overeems reasoning and thinking is pretty valid. In all fairness Fedor shouldn't be fighting for the belt and you can't make it a non title fight (because that's retarded). I am sure they are worried that if Silva vs Fedor happens and Silva wins then M-1 are essentially fucked. Where as if he fights Overeem there is no real downside. If he wins he is the greatest and if he loses, well it's Overeem.

I think Fedor had 1 fight left and was hoping to resign with Strikeforce? I can't remember now if he did or it hasn't been negotiated yet or whatever but I am sure that situation plays a part in the strategy. Basically my opinion is this is all Finkelsteins doing and Fedor probably doesn't give a shit.

As much as I would like to see the fight (meh) I'd be real annoyed if they dick Werdum over to do so.

Period.

From the way I heard it the fight with Fedor wasn't offered till nearly two weeks after he signed the contract to fight in the K1 GP which was only because Werdum was already out, so little hard to turn around at that point and be like, "Sorry k1 people gonna skip out and go play with Fedor".

im pretty upset with fedor's career choices as of late
its been really frustrating
i dont mind that he doesnt want to go to the ufc or osmething like that, but it was disappointing to see him pick werdum over overeem :/

its not him, its M1 global.. Fedor should get away from them but he never will
