Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem spoke to the media at the DREAM.12 post-fight press conference about wanting a fight with Fedor Emelianenko in April 2010.

He said:

“I want all of you to write this down. I want to fight Fedor. Alistair Overeem wants to fight Fedor in April 2010, so write that down. Maybe in DREAM, maybe in Strikeforce, I don’t care. Rather in DREAM, but Strikeforce is also OK. I want it as soon as possible.

I’m first fighting in the K-1 finals on December 5. After the K-1 finals, there’s a Dynamite show. Then, I’m going to take a little time off, holiday, and then April I think is the first possible date.”
