I saw this on the UG and thought it was worth a re-post.
Lets get started...
1. Allistair Overeem challenges Fedor
2. M1/Fedor insult him call him a steroid bully
3. Allistair Overeem challenges Fedor
4. M1/Fedor say he needs to take an olympic style drug test
5. Allistair Overeem challenges Fedor
6. M1/Fedor say he hasn't accomplished enough and needs to prove himself
7. Allistair Overeem beats Brett Rogers more impressively that Fedor does and challenges Fedor right after the fight infront of the world
8. M1/Fedor say they they do not fight fight for titles or prizes and are not interested in that fight
9. Allistiar Overeem announces he's going back to K1
10. M1/Fedor challenge him and say he's ducking
-------------
- Overeem starts campaigning for a bout with Fedor way back in 2009. He says he wants to face Fedor in April 2010.
"I want all of you to write this down," Overeem told reporters after the fight against Thompson. "I want to fight Fedor. Alistair Overeem wants to fight Fedor in April 2010. So write that down."
------------
- M1 asks that Overeem be olympic style drug tested
“Overeem-Fedor talk will be interesting. M-1 is asking for Olympic style drug testing. Overeem’s camp says no, athletic comm. testing enough.
-------------
-"Fedor does not want to fight" - Overeem
--------------
- M1 calls Overeem a steroid bully who has nothing to offer Fedor
“Overeem has nothing to offer for Fedor, except being a steroid bully.?br />
---------------
-M1 says Overeem not accomplished enough to fight Fedor
“I personally think that Alistair Overeem did not reach the desired level to challenge Fedor. He beat a lot of no-name opponents in Mixed Martial Arts. Overeem defeated Paul Buentello and then disappeared from the United States for more than two year, which is simply ridiculous. He has nothing to offer for Fedor Emelianenko, except being a steroid bully. Also, pay attention that Werdum beat Overeem when they were fighting in Pride, four years ago.?-Vadim Finklestein M1
-----------------
-M1 says Fedor will not fight Overeem because Fedor is above fighting for medals and belts
“We do not fight for the Strikeforce Heavyweight Title. Strikeforce are our partner, and any titles whether it is UFC, Strikeforce, WAMMA, Dream?they are just medals. Fedor is above these things. We are interested in the level of our opponent and his popularity among the audience.?br />
--------------
-Overeem scoffs at the timing of M1's challenge
Recently defeated legend Fedor Emelianenko has issued a challenge to Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem to face him in either November or December. However, the 30-year-old Dutch striker has already committed himself to this year’s K-1 Grand Prix, which begins on Oct. 2 in Korea and culminates on Dec. 11 in Japan.
--------------
- Overeems management made it clear when he was available to fight
"Boon also points out that he made it clear that Alistair was available to fight in the US in April through late September, and finds it funny that Fedor's management wouldn't accept a fight with him until after those dates have passed. Peculiar indeed. A point that needs to be made is that M-1 has demands for Overeem, but what about Barnett who is currently without a license to fight in the US due to PED issues?"
