Alistair Overeem Explains That Strikeforce Is His Lowest Priority Right Now
YouTube - Alistair Overeem vs Paul Buentello
(Overeem's last Strikeforce appearance, vs. Paul Buentello on 11/16/07.)
It’s no secret that Alistair Overeem isn’t exactly eager to come back to the U.S. to defend the Strikeforce heavyweight title that he won and then absconded to Europe with almost two years ago, but hey, maybe Brett Rogers’ recent shucking and ducking accusations might be enough to get him to consider putting that belt up for grabs again, right? Wrong, sucka. Very, very wrong. Not only is Overeem not even going to respond to Rogers (sounds like someone else we know), he lets us all know straight up that fighting in Strikeforce is at the very bottom of his to-do list right now:
During the press conference you said you will not comment on Brett Rogers words, but I need to ask again. This doesn’t bother you? Him talking the smack on the internet about you and how you’re not defending your Strikeforce title?
I will not comment on this, I am very busy with K-1 right now, with all the fight I have there. When there will be time to meet in the ring he will see. For now, I will not comment. I am very busy these days, i have
a fight in Glory, then in
DREAM.12 and after that I’ll fight in the K-1 Finals so I am very busy with training and fighting and I don’t have time for this bullshit.
First of all, if you have time to give interviews where you talk about how you’re not going to talk about something, then you have time to issue a response. I mean, if you really wanted to. Second, and most importantly, Overeem's list of upcoming engagements makes it very clear that Strikeforce is the least important obligation on his dance card, which ought to be just plain embarrassing for Scott Coker and the boys. Like cleaning out the garage, he keeps saying he’ll get to it eventually. And yet he makes no movement whatsoever to put his shoes on and get to work.
