Please Say This Is Just a Tasteless Joke: Alistair Overeem to Face Sam Hoger Next? (http://www.cagepotato.com/please-say-just-tasteless-joke-alistair-overeem-face-sam-hoger-next)

(Great, everybody's got a belt or two. Big deal.)
The continuing saga of Strikeforce heavyweight champ Alistair Overeem (http://wiki.cagepotato.com/index.php/Alistair_Overeem) gets weirder with each new chapter, and more and more it’s looking like he’s willing to do just about anything but fight in the United States (http://www.cagepotato.com/alistair-overeem-headed-back-k-1-strikeforce-heavyweight-belt-continues-gather-dust). More proof for that hypothesis comes by way of news that his next MMA fight may be against 8-4 UFC washout Sam Hoger (http://wiki.cagepotato.com/index.php/Sam_Hoger). Inside Fights says the fight has been verbally agreed to by both parties and will take place on an upcoming Shooto event (http://insidefights.com/2009/10/05/overeem-vs-hoger-slated-for-shooto/). We can’t help but think that Dream might be the more likely venue since they did make some vague promises recently about getting Overeem into their poorly designed cage later this month (http://www.cagepotato.com/dream-seriously-switching-cage-promises-visually-stunningtotally-weird-promo-video).
On his Twitter page (http://twitter.com/SamHoger/) Hoger wrote that he “MAY have a date” with Overeem, and implored whoever might be reading that message not to “ruin it for me now.” Unless one of Hoger’s 137 followers is in a management position at an MMA organization we’re not sure exactly how that would be possible, but for Christ’s sakes, if any of you Hoger fans have any pull, now’s the time to exert it. Not only would this fight be a farce, but it might also be the kind of farce that results in Hoger taking his meals through a straw for the next several months.
