Strikeforce Releases Heavyweight Champion Alistair Overeem

Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem has been cut from the promotion and is no longer under a Zuffa contract.

Sources in Overeem’s camp confirmed the information to MMAWeekly.com, which was first reported by HD Net’s Inside MMA.

Overeem was coming off a win in the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix, but made recent statements advising that he would not be available to fight in time for the next round of the tournament in September due to the need to recuperate from his win over Fabricio Werdum in the opening round. The high-profile heavyweight made it clear that he would fight no sooner than November, even if it wasn’t for Strikeforce.

Apparently, Zuffa stood their ground and eliminated Overeem’s contract, which had one fight left to fulfill. Company officials, however, could not comment on the Overeem’s release at the time of this publication.

Looks like no UFC for him then if Zuffa cancelled his contract

Dan Henderson v Fedor Emelianenko

Not sure about this one, the ref was on it before it happened.
The pictures pretty shit you can hardly see the punches & Stephen Hawkins has a bit to say at the beginning of the fight.



Paul Daley lost to Tyron Woodley by unanimous decision (29–28, 29–28, 29–28).
I've not seen this fight but considering Woodley's now a 9-0, 5 subs wrestler I don't think I wanna.

The vid looked good mate,nice one.It looked like it was called a bit early but it mustv'e been a sweet punch from underneath by Henderson,Fedor landed flat on his face.

Found this report on the Daley fight.Sounds like u were right Mitchell

Earlier in the night, Britain's Paul Daley battled gamefully but was once again left rueing his Achilles heel as Tyron Woodley wrestled and clinched his way to a unanimous decision victory. It wasn't the dominant display to confirm Strikeforce has a star of the future, but Woodley nevertheless took a 29-28 decision on all scorecards.

The American is certainly no Josh Koscheck, who utterly dominated Daley in the Brit's final UFC bout. Koscheck's explosiveness in the takedown is far superior to the Strikeforce fighter, but the undefeated Woodley has other tools. His clinch work, from which he landed some serious knees in rounds one and three, was significant, while his stand-up is good enough to keep even a striker like Daley busy until wrestling can take over.

Rounds one and two went to Woodley, damaging Daley's body from the clinch in the first round before delivering the first of only two takedowns in the second. He spent almost three minutes in Daley's guard to leave the Brit needing a finish in the third, and that proved enough as he absorbed a desperation flurry from Daley in the final five minutes.

"Spent almost 3 minutes in Daley's guard" = No thanks.

not sure about this either, first i thought it was an early stoppage even though Fedor got dropped but now thinking the ref stepping in quickly might have just stopped him getting hit with a few more big shots
Hendo is amazing though he's fought and beaten top fighters from middleweight to heavy

That's a great angle mate.He left himself wide open trying to push back up to his feet and got caught.The ref was in a great posistion and all he really sees is Fedor's face buried in the mat gettin his ear punched off.

Good decision i'd say.
