Alistair Overeem removed from the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand-Prix
Alistair Overeem has been removed from the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand-Prix in which he had reached the Semi-Finals. Overeem was going to be facing Antonio “Big Foot” Silva in a semi final bout which I have to say I was quite looking forward to. The fight was scheduled to take place on September 11th 2011 but Overeem refused to take part because apparently he did not feel he was being given enough time to prepare for the fight. Alistair wanted the fight to be postponed until October/November but Zuffa/Showtime were sticking to the the date scheduled for September. This lead to Overeem declining to fight and being replaced by Daniel Cormier who will now fight Silva instead.

Thanks Guys.
