Overeem will not fight Fedor, no MMA fights until next year

"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."

Not a huge Overeem fan

But I don’t blame him. He’s seriously getting the run around from all parties involved.

"If the commission would sanction it and Dana would move, I’d fighter Anderson right now."
- Chael Sonnen at the post fight press conference following his loss to Anderson Silva.

For those keeping track at home, in the span of a week we have gone from Fedor not wanting to fight Overeem, to Fedor wanting to fight Overeem, to Overeem not wanting to fight Fedor. I now fully expect Werdum to announce his injury is fully healed and for him to call out Bobby Lashley for his next opponent.

im gonna have to call bullshit on this one...

if my memory serves me correctly, i read an interview where he stated that although he wanted to fight for the belt, he has still always wanted to fight Fedor and would still sign up for it.

sorry dont have the time to do the research but im sure you guys know what im talking about
