In an exclusive interview with MMAjunkie.com today, the Strikeforce heavyweight champion said he is likely to meet Brett Rogers in a non-title fight on an as-yet-unannounced card set for May 15 in St. Louis, Mo. Although Strikeforce has not placed an event permit request to the Missouri State Athletic Commission, all signs point to a second trip to the 22,000-seat Scottrade Center in St. Louis.
Overeem announced the Rogers fight earlier today on his Twitter account but clarified that the matchup is not confirmed. He also added that a rumored appearance at DREAM.13 against Neil Grove or Josh Barnett is also unconfirmed.
Overeem has not defended his title since November 2007, when he won the vacant belt by defeating Paul Buentello at “Strikeforce: Four Men Enter, One Man Survives.”
