It seems that StrikeForce is to blame for the confusion because they gave Overeem a title shot, possibly thinking he was not going to win, and had no plan set up to keep him in StrikeForce in case he won the title. You would have thought StrikeForce should have had a "champion's clause" in place for situations like this, but it seems they have learned their lesson and now have such a clause in their contracts.Some have a problem with the clause, but it is in the promoters best interest to use them.
Overeem will be competing in this years K-1 World GP, and when it is finally over, hopefully he will be defending his title at a StrikeForce event. I know Overeem has taken a lot of criticism for not defending his title in about 2 years from fans, fighters, and yours truly, me. I want to apologize personally for jumping the gun and putting all the blame on Alistair. Hopefully, he will prove us all wrong by defending his title and showing us why he deserved to have it in the first place.
