A bout between Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem(33-11) and former SAMBO champ Aleksander Emelianenko(17-3) is apparently in the works and the bout is currently being listed on the website of Polish fight organization Strefa Walk.

While it is listed on the organization’s website it is apparently currently in the negotiation phase according to an email from Golden Glory Manager Bas Boon

Strikeforce heavyweight contender and former EliteXC champ Antonio “Big Foot” Silva (14-2, 1-1 Strikeforce) released a statement today regarding his current inability to find an upcoming opponent.

According to an email to Sherdog.com from Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem, Overeem will participate in K-1′s Grand Prix beginning on October 2nd and ending December 11th.

By fighting in K-1′s Grand Prix, Overeem effectively turns down Fedor Emelianenko but maintains he is dedicated to defending the Strikeforce belt.

With an immediate rematch against Fabricio Werdum delayed until next year, former top-ranked heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko hopes to fight Strikeforce heavyweight champ Alistair Overeem in November or December.

Former top-ranked heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko expects to sign a 4-6 fight extension with Strikeforce after suffering a 69-second submission to Fabricio Werdum in June for his first loss in nearly 10 years:

“I’m planning on fighting as long as I can physically. As far and I’m concerned we should discuss the possibility of signing another contract for 4-6 fights.”

With Fabricio Werdum and Fedor Emelianenko likely sidelined until early next year, Strikeforce heavyweight champ Alistair Overeem is expected to fight Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva in October.

The event will also feature a one-night middleweight tournament, which could include welterweight champ Nick Diaz vs. Jason “Mayhem” Miller.

Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker has begun negotiations with M-1 Global to plan the return of former top-ranked heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko, who could return to Strikeforce as early as October.

Emelianenko isn’t expected to immediately rematch Fabricio Werdum and could instead face Alistair Overeem, Antonio Silva, or Sergei Kharitonov next.

Despite Fedor Emelianenko’s M-1 Global management insisting on an immediate rematch with Fabricio Werdum, Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker has dismissed the matchup and says a non-title bout with heavyweight champ Alistair Overeem could be next for Emelianenko.

A Strikeforce rematch between Fabricio Werdum and former top-ranked heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko likely won’t take place until 2011, as Werdum has announced that he’ll soon undergo elbow surgery that will sideline him for the rest of year.

In the wake of former top-ranked heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko’s 69-second Strikeforce loss to Fabricio Werdum on June 26, Fedor’s M-1 Global management is reportedly ‘panicking’ and has already closed it’s headquarters.

M-1′s Evgeni Kogan has called the report “100% made up” and insists the promotion is still healthy.
