Alistair OvereemShowtime Sports tweeted on Friday that a planned fight between Brett Rogers and Alistair Overeem will be the main event of Strikeforce's May 15 show.

What Showtime didn't say -- but what is implied, and what has been reported elsewhere -- is that Fedor Emelianenko is not expected to be on the card. If Fedor were fighting Fabricio Werdum, as had been previously discussed, that fight would be given main event status. Announcing Rogers vs. Overeem as the main event pretty much confirms that Showtime isn't expecting to have Fedor on the card.

Michael David Smithby Michael David Smith

Filed under: ,



James Irvin vs. Alessio Sakara is not a particularly relevant fight in the middleweight division in mixed martial arts. Neither guy is a win away, or even two or three wins away, from title contention. But it will be the first fight on UFC on Versus 1 Sunday night, and both guys show in this preview video that they understand the reason they've been matched up in the first UFC fight ever to air on Versus.
