The UFC wanted to send a message and it appears it worked. That's a great thing for fight fans concerning the dismissal of Strikeforce heavyweight champ Alistair Overeem.
Overeem could be on his way back to Strikeforce or welcomed into the UFC.
"We're talking to Overeem. When everything fell apart, you guys heard me come out and say, 'We can't do business with these guys the way these guys want to do business,' meaning his management. Well they've changed their opinions on how they can do business with us, so now we can," Dana White told 790 the Ticket in Miami (1:54:00 mark).
Zuffa's issue was with Golden Glory. The management group was asking all fighter checks to be sent its way and then it would pay the fighters. Zuffa refused to do it and Overeem, his brother Valentijn, Marloes Coenen and Jon Olav Einemo were released from their Zuffa deals. Fight fans were also facing the possibility of seeing another GG fighter Sergei Kharitonov, win the Strikeforce heavyweight Grand Prix only to be cut following the tourney.
