Strikeforce heavyweight champ “Demolition Man” Alistair Overeem (27-10) will fight a yet-to-be-named opponent at Glory 11 in Amsterdam 17 October, Fighters.com has confirmed.

Sources close to the Dutch kickboxer also revealed exclusively to Fighters.com that Overeem is considering a kickboxing matchup versus “Dutch Lumberjack” Peter Aerts (1-1) at FieLDS K-1 World GP Final 16 in Seoul 26 September. Since Fighters.com’s original post, K-1 has confirmed the Overeem versus Aerts matchup.

Overeem was thought to be nursing an persistently infected hand resulting from a bar brawl in Amsterdam last May that kept him from defending his Strikeforce title from “Vai Cavalo” Fabricio Werdum (12-4-1) in San Jose 15 August. The injury was described by Overeem’s manager, Bas Boon, as nearly costing Overeem his hand.

DREAM heavyweight “Cro Cop” Mirko Filipovic (23-6-2) expects to rematch “Demolition Man” Alistair Overeem (28-11) at Dynamite!! in Saitama, north of Tokyo, 31 December, he told Croation website Javno.

“We will fight, we will have a rematch for New Year,” “Cro Cop” said, then added, “We have already agreed in principle about it, but it has not been confirmed 100 percent.”

Overeem too has publicly expressed interest in a New Year’s Eve rematch, saying, “I want to finish ‘Cro Cop’ and put his name on my list, especially now because he has been arrogant and big-mouthed.”

The MMA stars in Japan fought to a No Contest at DREAM 6 in Saitama 23 September.

The fight was stopped after Overeem slammed three separate knee strikes into “Cro Cop’s” groin.
