Randleman out – Overeem vs Belfort at Strikeforce
By Mark Pickering | May 10, 2006
Alistair “Demolition Man†Overeem has emerged as the replacement for the afflicted Kevin “The Monster†Randleman to face former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Vitor “The Phenom†Belfort in the headline bout of Strikeforce’s second show at San Jose, California’s HP Pavilion on Friday, June 9th.
Since Randleman was sidelined by a shoulder injury Silicon Valley Sports and Entertainment (SVS&E) targeted PRIDE’s 2005 middleweight tournament semi-finalist, Golden Glory’s Alistair Overeem. The pair renew acquaintances after last year’s meeting at PRIDE Total Elimination 2005 at the Osaka Dome. Overeem secured a first round victory over The Phenom via a guillotine choke who will relish the opportunity to avenge his defeat in June.
Also in action will be kickboxing sensation Cung Lee, Duane “Bang†Ludwig, Josh Thompson, Daniel Puder and James Irvin.
